Notes
- ↑ In my experience, this change only took effect to objects like rocks after it had been destroyed and respawned. There also didn’t appear to be any change in how long it took for a tree to be completely chopped, taking 15 hits regardless of the multiplier.
- ↑ In my experience, there didn’t appear to be any change in how long it took for a tree to respawn once completely chopped, taking 30 minutes regardless of the multiplier. Except Trees: Trees seem to act a little funky. When you chop a tree for the first time, its HP is affected by the multiplier - for example, setting the multiplier to 0.5 means you only need 8 swings with a stone axe to fully chop it down. However, if you chop the exact same tree after it respawns, it suddenly has the same HP as if the multiplier was set to 1, taking 15 swings. It'll also drop about twice as much wood and fiber than before. (Stone and mineral deposits don't behave the same way, this only seems to affect trees!) Also, in case anyone wants to know - on a singleplayer world, trees will instantly respawn if you exit to the main menu and reenter the world, bypassing the respawn timer settings. Can be pretty handy if you need a surplus of wood and fiber early on! From my observation, it works something like this: Assuming HP modifier is set to 0.5x and yield to 1x, chopping down a tree with a stone axe takes 8 swings and yields 12 wood and 3 fiber - which is exactly half of the default yield of 24 wood and 6 fiber. This goes ONLY for the first time you chop that particular tree. If the tree has respawned afterwards and you chop it again with the same stone axe, it now takes 15 swings and yields 22 wood and 6 fiber - i.e. default values. I don't know if that's intended behavior or a bug. Source: r/Palworld/comments/1gr160w/settings_explanation_update/lx2vvkh/
