Palworld Update v0.1.4.0 Tackles Save Data Corruption and Base Pal AI
Palworld update v0.1.4.0 addresses severe save data corruption risks tied to high pal capture counts and implements numerous fixes for base pal pathfinding and player controls. The patch also adjusts weight limit mechanics to allow slow movement when overencumbered.
Palworld update v0.1.4.0 brings stability improvements to Steam players, targeting save file corruption, base pal behavior, and key binding limitations.
Stability and Save Protection
The game no longer crashes or corrupts save data when a guild's total captured pals reaches or exceeds 7,000. However, save files or dedicated server worlds that were already corrupted prior to this patch remain unplayable. Additional fixes resolve general game crashes, unauthorized capture of other players' pals when their HP dropped below 30 percent, and enemy pals getting stuck in walls during charge attacks.
Player Quality of Life
Players over the weight limit can now move at an extremely low speed rather than being completely immobilized. Dedicated server and online co-op players will no longer suffer double damage. Dismounting from a pal no longer pushes players through walls. Using memory reset drugs will no longer reset capture power boosted by Lifmunk Effigies, and armor slot equip errors have been corrected. Keyboard configurations now support mouse side keys and the numeric keypad.
Base Pal and Building Adjustments
Pals manually assigned to a breeding farm will no longer become hungry or lose their assignments. The input key to lift pals has changed from F to V on keyboards and from X to Y on gamepads to prevent accidental grabs. Wooden buildings now feature reduced fire spread speed and range. High-level Relaxaurus no longer participate in raids against bases. Base pals assigned to transport items will no longer get stuck and drop items, and tree-cutting pals will stop attacking already cleared stumps. Fixes also address pals floating, taking unexplained falling damage, and failing to navigate lower floors when farms are built on second floors or higher.
Why this patch matters
Version v0.1.4.0 delivers stability fixes for long-term worlds while refining base management and player movement mechanics.
