Breeding

Breeding is a mechanic in Palworld used with the Breeding Farm.

It allows players to breed two Pals, which results in them laying a Pal Egg that can be hatched in an  Egg Incubator. Through breeding you can get various passive skills or Subspecies Pals.

To breed Pals together you will need a Breeding Farm. Once you place the Breeding Farm you must assign a male and female Pal. The Breeding Farm also needs to be supplied with Cake. After some time they will produce a Pal Egg which can then be incubated.

There are over 18,797 breeding pair combinations, and we simply cannot list them all!

Breeding Farm

Main article: Breeding Farm

The Breeding Farm is a Technology that allows two opposite gendered Pals to breed with each other (even completely different species). It is unlocked at level 19, and requires 100  Wood, 20  Stone, and 50  Fiber to craft.

Pals can be assigned to the Breeding Farm using the Pick Up keybind while hovering over them and throwing them at the building. Assigned Pals will wander inside the Breeding Farm until manually removed.

To produce an Egg these conditions must be met:

• Both assigned pals are of opposite gender.
• At least one  Cake is present in the wooden chest located to the right of the Breeding Farm.

The UI will state "Love is blossoming between the two Pals", and a progress bar will appear.

Breeding will progress to completion, regardless of the presence of  Cake.

 Cake placed in the Breeding Farm's chest will not spoil.

How Breeding Works

The way breeding works is rather simple. Each Pal has a hidden breeding power number between 10 and 1500. The lower the number the more rare or powerful the Pal is.

The game will then pick the Pal with the closest power to that average. As an example, if the baby Power ends up being 1015, and the closest values are 1010 (  Felbat) and 1020 (  Robinquill), the baby will be  Robinquill. The 'tie breaker' (since 1015 is equal distance between 1010 and 1020) just comes down to the which Pal comes first in the game file's index. In this case  Robinquill comes first in the game files so it gets picked over  Felbat.

The way this works means you can never breed a Pal stronger/rarer than your strongest/rarest parent. For example, if your starting parents have a power of 570 (  Anubis) and 1460 (  Cattiva) the result will be the following: (570 + 1460) / 2 = 1015 (  Robinquill). If you then bred that baby at 1015 with your starting 570  Anubis: (570 + 1015) / 2 = 792.5 (which is closest to  Arsox at 795).

If you continue this multiple times:

• (570 + 795) / 2 = 682.5 (  Univolt at 680)
• (570 + 680) / 2 = 625 (  Bushi at 625)
• (570 + 625) / 2 = 597.5 (  Incineram at 605)

As you can see you can get closer and closer to your 570  Anubis but you can never breed something stronger/rarer. But this also shows you can take one strong/rare Pal and breed it with its offspring and quickly start making Pals near that strength.

Breeding Conditions

As of launch, any Pal species can breed with any other Pal species. However, this will lead to a seemingly random Pal being generated with none of the parent's stats. The random Pal has a much higher chance of being a weaker, early game Pal than any mid to late game Pal. This is based off a "child rank" obtained from calculating the ranks of both the parents. A breeding combination list has been linked here (you can click here to make a copy of the full breeding list spreadsheet for easier use). In order for the breeding to commence, there must be a male and female Pal in the Breeding Farm. As there is no cooldown, you can have Pals breed indefinitely as long as cake is in the farm's crate. This allows for a faster experience when breeding for variants.

Same Species Breeding

Pals of the same species when bred together will always produce that species. For some species, this is the only way to breed that Pal.

•  Paladius
•  Necromus
•  Frostallion
•  Jetragon
•  Bellanoir Libero

Standard Combination Breeding

Typically, when two Pals breed, the resulting Pal is determined by the two parents breeding "Rank". Roughly, the resulting Pal will be the species with the average of the two parents breeding rank. Specifically, the child rank is calculated as follows:

$\color {white}Child\_Rank={\Biggl \lfloor }{\frac {ParentA\_Rank+ParentB\_Rank+1}{2}}{\Biggr \rfloor }$

And then the (eligible) child species with the rank nearest to this value is selected. If two species are equidistant from this value, the first one checked (having the lower "Check Order") is selected.

Passing Down Passive Skills

Passive skills are able to be passed down from the parents onto the child, its still unknown how this fully works. Passive skills can also be randomly generated. Special combinations have a random set of 4 passive skills; a couple or more of these skills can be 3rd tier. The "rare" passive skill is one of these skills, giving the child a 15% boost to attack power and work speed.

History

• 0.2.4.0
  • Breeding eggs now have a slight chance to produce an Alpha Pal.
• 0.1.5.1
  • Fixed a bug where breeding Pals always had fixed passives.
• 0.1.2.0
  • Introduced.
