Each Pal in Palworld possesses unique traits called Work Suitability. Think of these features as passive skills, albeit with a focus on productivity rather than combat. These Work Suitabilities range from harvesting wood to powering electric pylons. Learn more about this mechanic as you keep reading.

Palworld Work Suitability List

There are currently 12 work suitabilities in Palworld since its Early Access release, a number that hasn’t changed upon the release of the Tides of Terraria Update. Each Work Suitability in Palworld and their roles and benefits are as follows:

• Cooling: Cool food with specific ingredients.
• Farming: Drops specific items when placed in a Ranch.
• Gathering: Harvest crops from plantations.
• Generating Electricity: Generate power for electric devices.
• Handiwork: Craft in workstations, including Workbenches and Conveyor Belts.
• Kindling: Power furnaces and cook food.

• Mining: Mine rocks and other similar resource nodes for minerals.
• Planting: Plant seeds in plantations.
• Transporting: Transport items from harvest stations or the ground into storage containers.
• Watering: Water crops and operate water wheels.

Note: The item dropped by a Farming Pal in a Ranch depends on that creature’s specific traits.
