Key Takeaways
- Map Unlocker: Unlocks all areas of the map, allowing for unrestricted exploration from the start.
- Always Fast Travel: Enables fast travel at any time, making it easier to navigate the game world.
- Basic Minimap: Adds a minimap to the game interface, helping you keep track of your surroundings.
1. Map Unlocker
The Map Unlocker mod is a game-changer for those who want to skip the mystery of the exploration phase and get right to expansion. This mod unlocks the full view of the world map as soon as the mod is installed. It removes the fog of war from unexplored areas, allowing you to see all regions of the Palworld map instantly. This is particularly useful for players who want to plan their strategies and movements without the hassle of uncovering the map bit by bit.
While the mod reveals the entire map, it does not activate the fast travel points. You’ll still need to run around and visit all the fast travel spots yourself to make them accessible from your base. This mod works in multiplayer, so you and your friends can explore new places easily together. It has been tested on both the Steam and Game Pass versions of Palworld, ensuring compatibility across different platforms.
2. Always Fast Travel
Perhaps you don’t care so much about seeing the entire Palworld map as you do about zipping around in a super speedy fashion. If this is the case, download the Always Fast Travel mod. You’ll be able to teleport to any Great Eagle Statue that you’ve already unlocked on your map without having to physically be at a statue (or a Palbox). Some might see this as breaking immersion – but if you’re all about efficiency, this mod is a game-changer.
Now you can teleport anywhere by pressing M to open the map (you still need to unlock them manually). Plus, you can literally move faster (increase movement speed). This mod is perfect for those who want to maximize their time and minimize the grind.
Using the Always Fast Travel mod, I happily teleported to the Unthawable Lake even though I was stuck on a beach halfway across the map.
Key Features:
- Teleport to any unlocked Great Eagle Statue
- No need to be at a statue or Palbox
- Increase movement speed
This mod is a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their Palworld experience by cutting down on travel time and focusing more on the fun parts of the game.
3. Basic Minimap
The Basic Minimap mod is a game-changer for your Palworld experience. This mod adds a simple yet highly functional minimap to your screen, which can be placed in the top, bottom, or corners. You can even adjust the size and zoom to your preference. The minimap will automatically hide itself during battles, ensuring it doesn’t obstruct your view.
To get the most out of this mod, you might want to download the Mod Configuration Menu (UI), although it’s entirely optional. The Basic Minimap works perfectly fine without it. This mod is subtle but life-changing, offering a better sense of your surroundings without the need to constantly bring up the regular map.
The nice thing about this mini map is that it comes with some neat configurable options. For instance, you can have it automatically hide during combat or zoom in while you’re in underground areas.
Carry Weight Increase
Another RPG staple, the default carry weight limit is far too low for most players, which is why the Carry Weight Increase mod exists. Increase the starting carry weight limit from 300 to 1,000, and increase the gain per point to 250, drastically altering how much you’re able to hold at any given time.
It won’t be too long before you’ll find the default weight limit cumbersome in Palworld, especially as you collect heavy materials like Sulfur or Pure Quartz. While you can lessen the load by constructing storage boxes in your base or by simply dropping excess junk, the Carry Weight Increase mod amps up your carrying capacity to 1,000, greatly lightening the load on your shoulders. Alternately, you can remove weight limits altogether, and lug around however many piles of Coal you want!
Remove Flying Stamina Cost
Remove Flying Stamina Cost is a small mod that does exactly what it says on the tin. With this mod installed, you no longer have to worry about your Pals getting tired midflight. In other words, you can finally take full advantage of the fastest flying mounts in Palworld and zoom around the Palpagos Islands with no restrictions.
When you first get your hands on a flying Pal, the last thing you want to do is think about how much stamina it costs to keep you in the air. The remove flying stamina cost mod gives the freedom to explore the Palworld map without the pressures of having to take constant breaks.
Soaring above the Palpagos Islands on your flying mount for the first time is one of the highlights of Palworld. Unfortunately, the feeling of joy is short-lived as you quickly realize that flying mounts in this game are pretty bad at flying. This is mainly due to the stamina mechanic, which prevents your mounts from flying for more than a minute or two before needing to take a rest. Luckily, there’s a fix for that.
100 Capture Rate
Wanna catch ’em all? Get the 100 Capture Rate mod, which keeps you from wasting your precious Pal Spheres by instantly upping the capture rate of any sphere used in combat to 100%. When it comes to catching the best Palworld Pals, this mod is an absolute godsend as long as you’re not bothered by the extreme reduction in difficulty. It’s all in the name of building your Pal workforce, after all!
With the 100 Percent Pal Capture Rates v0.2.4.0 mod, you can capture Pals with 100% efficiency every time. This means no more missed captures or wasted resources.
How to Install the Mod
- Download the mod from a trusted source.
- Extract the files to your Palworld mods directory.
- Launch the game and enable the mod in the settings menu.
- Enjoy capturing Pals with 100% efficiency!
Benefits of 100 Capture Rate
- Efficiency: No more wasted Pal Spheres.
- Ease of Use: Simple installation and activation.
- Time-Saving: Spend less time capturing and more time playing.
Potential Drawbacks
- Reduced Challenge: The game may become too easy for some players.
- Resource Management: You might find yourself with an excess of Pal Spheres.
If you’re looking to streamline your Pal capturing process, this mod is a must-have. Just be prepared for a less challenging experience.
Technology Free Unlocking
The Technology Tree in Palworld can be quite restrictive, locking the coolest upgrades behind a wall of Technology Points. Normally, you’d need to grind to accumulate these points, but with the Technology Free Unlocking mod, you can bypass this requirement entirely. This mod sets the Technology Points requirement for all upgrades to zero, allowing you to access advanced tech without the usual hassle. However, you still need to reach the appropriate levels to unlock each upgrade. Imagine wielding the game’s ultimate weapon, the Jetragon missile launcher, without having to wait forever to gather points. This mod is a game-changer for those who want to experience the full potential of Palworld without the grind.
Pal Analyzer
Pal Analyzer is a handy mod that presents info about Pals simply by hovering your cursor over them. It’s especially valuable when you venture into a new corner of the map, run across dangerous high-level Pals, and need to quickly discern their health, attack, and defense stats, and active skills. Granted, you can find most of this information online – preferably in our comprehensive list of all Pals in Palworld – but Pal Analyzer is perfect if you don’t want to jump through extra hoops.
Key Features
- Stat Display: See stats such as attack and defense with zero, five, and ten captures unlocking different tiers of stats.
- Skill Information: Displays both active and passive skills of the Pals.
- Capture Count: Shows the capture count and how many other Pals of the same type you currently have in your Palbox.
How to Use
- Hover and Hold: Simply hover your cursor over a Pal and hold the left alt key to see their stats.
- Unlock More Stats: Capture more Pals to unlock additional tiers of stats.
- Configuration Options: Customize the mod to fit your gameplay style through various configuration options.
Pal Analyzer introduces a feature that should have arguably been added to the game from the get-go. This mod essentially acts like a PokeDex by displaying a card filled with lots of useful info whenever you hover your cursor over a Pal in the wild.
Conclusion
Pal Analyzer is a must-have for any serious Palworld player. It seamlessly integrates with the game’s UI, making it feel like a natural extension of the game. Whether you’re hunting for new Pals or strategizing for battles, this mod provides all the information you need at a glance.
Faster Breeding
Breeding Pals in Palworld can be a time-consuming process, especially when you need to bake Cakes to entice your Pals to procreate. The Faster Breeding mod addresses this issue by significantly reducing the breeding time and allowing you to use Red Berries instead of Cake. This mod is a game-changer for players who want to optimize their breeding strategies and quickly expand their team of Pals.
Enhanced Palworld Visuals
Enhanced Palworld Visuals is the most popular graphics mod available for the game right now. This isn’t a major overhaul mod, so don’t expect anything too fancy here. Enhanced Palworld Visuals merely disables certain post-processing effects while enabling others and tweaking a few other settings here and there. These changes don’t completely alter the way the game looks, but they do have a noticeable effect on the game’s visuals.
Palworld’s already a fine looking game, but you might want to increase your draw distance, amplify your resolution and disable some of the default effects like fog and bloom. The Enhanced Palworld Visuals mod lets you do just that, making your Palpagos Islands sandbox truly a sight to behold – especially at the start of the game when you first step out above the vista near the Plateau of Beginnings.
Enhanced Palworld Visuals is a must-have for anyone looking to improve their gaming experience without drastically changing the game’s core aesthetics.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the top 10 must-have mods for your Palworld server can significantly enhance your gameplay experience by providing various quality-of-life improvements, new features, and customization options.
