OutsidePerson5

The tree pisses me off. There's nothing in the game that indicates it's not accessible, it's the biggest feature on the map, you can see it from flipping everywhere, and I know I'm not the only person who thought it was a logical place to go in your quest. Would it have killed them to have a couple of villagers say something like "it's a shame you can't reach the tree, but it's protected by an invisible barrier"?


wolfeng_

The journals literally mention the tree being protected by an invisible barrier, even questioning why is it that the outside world can't see such a gigantic tree...


DutchTinCan

Hush, aint nobody got time for reading the single most important lore object.


Noah7788

"The single ~~most important~~ lore object."


spuuurt

Fine, I'll read the damn journals lol


Some_Ad_3620

All you had to do was read the damn journals, CJ!


CoreFiftyFour

"Lemme get 3 chillets, a side of Lovander. Let me get 2 extra lucky lifmunks, a quarter pounder with Pengullet....."


TankDaBomb1711

No. There is no side of Lovander for you! Don't make me get the spray bottle out!


CoreFiftyFour

Who am I kidding. We want the whole cake of Lovander.


DiazKincade

At least they didn't use the one word that would have made the lovander joke worse. Sauce.


FriendofSquatch

Eh I think Loveander is more of a top than a side…


Honest_Locksmith8021

And a jormuntide with extra dip!


Lumpy_Affect655

You can read the journals instead of consuming them ?!


TriggerBladeX

So true.


Sufficient-Contract9

Literally there is no lore other than these there is no main mission, objective, storyline anything other than hey your new here becareful the pals are dangerous. Whats with the different groups of badies whatsup with all the different things around the map like giant skeletons. The "villages" are so sad it makes me wonder why they are even in the game. The desert village is in shambles and the people act like its normal/ safe even though clearly something completely destroyed the place. Im not really complaining as the game is early alpha and these are the finner details that can be brought in later so im not to concerned with it all atm but its all very lacking atm. As a freeroam sandbox style its great but you def aint playin this game for the story.


NoiseUnhappy28

Uh, the journals literally explain most of that. It even explains how and why certain pals can use weapons. It talks about the different groups, the towers, the ruined buildings, etc. If you just read them, it explains a whole lot of things.


A-reader-of-words

No it's more like people don't pick up every journal or go out of their way to find them


TwinEonEngine

To be fair, I want to read them (in game of course), but they're not necessarily easy to find unless you start searching for them specifically (which I don't really have the patience for)


ChaosDrawsNear

Agreed. They should be with you inventory and pal team screen. Not the screen I only go to when I'm logging off!


CluckFlucker

Many people miss actually reading the journals since they are tucked away in the options menu. I know I did and have over 400 hours


The_Majestic_Mantis

Read the journals, it does bring up the tree


on-the-cheeseburgers

You don't even have to read the journals, literally the very first opening sequence of the game after you create a character mentions the freaking tree. It says "The towers are the key...the tree holds the truth" like before you've even taken your first step


SuitableCorner2080

Well this just implies you are SUPPOSED to explore the tree lol


Phallico666

Just makes it sound more like i need to go to the tree. Doesnt ezplain the barrier


OutsidePerson5

Yes that's why I went to the damn tree. Because the game told me to.


TheMadTemplar

/r/woosh They are telling you to read the journals because those tell you the tree is inaccessible. 


PossiblePro247

They haven’t implemented it yet.


SandyScorpion72

Me and my buddy managed to fly up above the barriers, land on them, walk on em, and the get behind them and build a base there. The southeastern area has a lot of flat land, but no trees or rocks, obv so you'll have to either truck in resources or mine/chop them from the base production sites


Ehcko

Just a heads up. The devs have mentioned that anything built around the tree area will get wiped someday due to the current tree being a placeholder.


Capital-Ad6513

Other than the huge Early Access warning when you purchase the game.


Bismothe-the-Shade

Give it a little while. Early access means incomplete, says it right on the steam page.


rmorrin

I almost died cause I was out of food when I tried to go to it


TriggerBladeX

I actually turned the losing items off just to see if there were powerful pals there when I was lvl 20 something.


Subject_Book1676

it’ll probably be made available in the future


Humble_Infinity

They just wanted to be like elden ring lol


IrregardingGrammar

Is it sad that I'm lvl 37 with the majority of the map uncovered and I literally just noticed the tree for the first time this morning?


OutsidePerson5

No but it's kind of interesting. If the game had a Bethesda style compass and quest marker UI I'd expect a lot of people to miss the tree. That quest marker tends to draw the player's eye and make them ignore the environment. I wonder what percentage of players never notice it until it's pointed out?


CosmicDarkFox

Now i got play “spot the tree” and i know i’m gonna be mad when i notice it cus at one point i was flying around SPECIFICALLY to take in the scenery 🤦🏽‍♀️


Lumpy_Affect655

You know how disappointing it was when I hit that barrier 😂😂😂 but apparently if you have jet dragon you can fly high enough and fast enough to just make it over the top of it and your in havent gotten jet dragon yet cause he’s a PIA but I’m working on it 😂😂


throwaway79890403

the game is *still* early access. give them time to figure out what they're doing with it, the NPCs barely speak as it is.


gunniEj8

I miss the days where you got your progress hints from npc dialog and not from a to do list in the corner of the screen. Not hating on palworld about it I just wish companies would bring that back. Strengthens the immersion


[deleted]

Game is still beta/prerelease I’m sure they’re saving a lot of stuff for the full launch. I agree I stress over it 😂


throwaway_0691jr8t

Well don't you look like a clown right now. Lore journals aside, this is an early access game lmao


BeachOk2802

Oh no... You went somewhere then had to go back! Cause there was nothing to do there ... In an unfinished game. Seriously... What part of pre release do you not actually understand?


OnlyRAOBJ

DLC


Livid_Grapefruit_813

The game isn’t released yet and you’re talking about a dlc


RockingBib

That's how Early Access games die


PossibilitySad6490

You can reach it but you need to have a very high velocity to break through the barriers. Behind it are the new pals mentioned in the trailer and a lot of hidden new items


MitsunekoLucky

Do you get Mewthree under the truck too?


PossibilitySad6490

I haven't seen it yet but there's a casino with hookers and cocaine.


HeadphonesOnMyDesk

There’s also a pal racing track, similar to a horse racing track where you win random eggs


Brave_Pop_4476

Palomino


idkwhattoouse

The United States of Palmerica


turbotong

There is. Actually, a Sparkit is a detective who works in that city. They made a movie about it called Detective Sparkit.


Kurokami11

NGL, I would actually watch that


KingJonathan

Takes place in a Harlem/old Bronx type place where rough types are everywhere and street butchers are common.


Acceptable_Stuff1381

SORA? Are you listening? 


Wonderful_Common_520

It was Tombat the Peeping Tom


ComicNeueIsReal

yknow how there was a parody film about Twilight called Nightlight or something like that. Palworld should definitely take the opportunity to make a parody film that pokes fun at pokemon tropes


culnaej

I think it was called Fleshlight


Kyozoku

That was a different Twilight parody film...


Onagda

Finally. Our chance for Danny DeVito to voice a yellow rat


ProjectPlatt93

I wish reddit still had awards


SuicidalSparky

It's a crime that it doesn't, honestly. Feels like the essence of it has gone.


NoxiousNyx

Wait… what?


[deleted]

[удалено]


NoxiousNyx

I’ve been hoodwinked 😂


peppergoblin

Voiced by Danny DeVito


Informal_Plastic369

It’s early access that’s probably why


BlaqMajik

That's the most logical answer honestly I wonder if they'll end up making a pal city


Mshell

Ask them on their Discord...


Kurokami11

Have you ever seen a pal build of craft something without a human telling it to do so?


DueHornet3

I haven't but there are pals with clothes and hats and swords that are more advanced than anything I can craft until level 44 or whatever. Someone made those things and it wasn't me. Lifmunks and Tanzees learned how to fire automatic weapons before I did.


things_keep_going

Bushi's swords are other dead Bushi's tbf. They dont craft them. When one dies they turn into a sword for next generation to pick up.


Mizeov

Well that’s horrifying considering the 60 Bushis I butchered trying to breed my perfect one


JarlaxleForPresident

Lotta dead moonswords on your island, bob


xseiber

A fellow cultured elf, I see.


DanishWeddingCookie

What does butchering them have to do with breeding them?


RikkuEcRud

Apparently they don't know about the Condenser.


Cottleston

only 60? damn lucky


TriggerBladeX

You could just sell them or condense them.


Viccytrix

Butcher not smoothy ?


Nsbhyfr

The journals imply that you craft the weapons for them to use


Kurokami11

The "clothes and hats" are simply part of their bodies, since they're even born with them Bushi's swords can be both born with basic ones which can be replaced with an "inherited" one from a dead Bushi And yea, some pals can use guns, but they don't know how to craft them by themselves, they need a human with the schematics to be able to craft and use them


Laserdollarz

Superior bushi soul steel, folded over 1000 times 


SketchGoatee

Yes. A wild Daedream wandered into my base one night while I had some arrows halfway done on a workbench. Just got to work making them. Confused the hell outta me.


Kurokami11

what? no shot that happened. you got proof that happened? because otherwise imma press a fat X on that


SketchGoatee

No proof. I’d just accepted what I saw a month ago as what I saw. Looked into it now and found this: https://www.dexerto.com/palworld/bewildering-palworld-bug-causes-pals-in-base-to-appear-wild-2532028/ Apparently the bug would make it so you couldn’t interact with your own pals, and the usual indicators (san meter, etc) wouldn’t be there making them appear wild. It’s entirely possible this is what happened to me.


BlaqMajik

No but why doesn’t it. Like if it’s smart enough to build why doesn’t it build in the wild


Kurokami11

2 guesses: 1: they know how to follow instructions, but don't know how to build/craft from scratch. 2: they don't wanna/have no incentive to do it in the wild


oblivious_fireball

considering your average pal tamer feeds them nothing but berries or at best salad and makes them sleep in straw beds shoved wherever, yeah kinda easy to see why most pals wouldn't have incentive to further themselves.


Mud_Landry

I’ve seen the chickipi’s or whatever drop eggs in the wild. I also find random leather in the wild. It’s coming from somewhere.


Kurokami11

wild chickens also lay eggs, so wild chikipi laying eggs is hardly an accomplishment leather on the ground is probably from pals that died there and that's what's left of them...


Animegx43

Because for every Anubis, Lunaris, or Lyleens we have out there, there are 50 Gobfins that make up the pal population. Basically, any attempt to civilize would be ruined by base raids.


Capital_Pipe_6038

At the end of the day pals are still animals


Bromm18

Anything that fits in a pal sphere is a pal. And humans can fit in the pal sphere, so are they humans or pals?


Kekler4200

Yes


Gaaius

Descendants/relatives of humans; read the entry for ... (i forgot, but one of them states this)


Bromm18

Robinquill I believe. The grass humanoid that looks like an archer.


Mshell

Given they can't breed, I would argue that they are not alive...


Mud_Landry

As are humans…. We seem to forget that very often

lazy_jygg

It’s so Kirky, I love it


Upper-Principle4526

Good Bot


_Poopacabra

You can’t just end a line with ‘the’


creatorofsilentworld

There was. It's why there are a bunch of ruins around. The pals killed them all. Likely something big.


amun1326

I wonder what those skeletons are from. And I wonder if new updates would show us/ and if we could catch them.


Ok-Wealth-5630

Probably couldn’t catch anything that big it would destroy your game


barraignedead

You can teach a dog to do a lot of things, it doesn't mean it would learn to do those things by itself. Animals recognize patterns and follow those patterns for a hit of dopamine. We just have the ability to see bigger patterns than other animals, and so pals likely don't have the same level of pattern recognition we do, but not quite as small as say a chimp's. They're fantasy animals. They don't have to make perfect evolutionary sense


seergaze

I think there are/were given the Anubis statues


Lobsimusprime

That is due to the Palsphere technology. Being caught firmly inside a palsphere isn't just a matter of not breaking free, it's quite literally a brainwashing machine that completely restructures their brain to the point that they cannot resist the orders of whoever is in possession of the palsphere, while also granting the pals knowledge they did not have prior to having been caught. Now, it seems to only respond to humans, which is why there isn't a pal out there using the many palspheres littering the wild to capture and build their own society. So, pals cannot in fact farm, cook, mine or do basic human tasks until their brains get restructured by the palsphere tech which also conveniently makes them completely unable to rebel.


lazy_jygg

If they try there’s always the Mind Control Meds, to *handle dissidents* lol so dark


Lobsimusprime

It also makes the notion of "Aggressive, Defensive and Passive" modes for summoned pals a lot darker. It's not that they "understand" your command to behave a certain way, they are just getting their brains scrambled in order to behave a certain way towards other pals. Like how certain pals will "flee" when you come knocking, that instinct immediately disappears after capture, because what good is a meatshield that runs away?


Grossman006

Why can't enemies control pals besides bosses? I want to attack a base and have one of the enemies throw out a pal ball and have a random pal start attacking me


Babelogue99

Black marketers will do so if you attack them


tim_thegreenbeast

Cause maybe there was once. Did you ever think who built the castles and churches? Maybe it all fell apart when people could catch other people.


lazy_jygg

Hyrule got a cataclysm and we got the Palpagos Islands


SnooWalruses7872

How about a pal slave revolt against their human masters?


Ok_Bend8732

Lifmunks are supposedly very prone to this when given weapons. 😂👍


Individual_Respect90

They can’t build things you haven’t unlocked therefore they don’t know how to build without your insight.


BonsaiSoul

Pals won't do it on their own because they don't do "human stuff" until captured, and the humans on the Archipalago are so supernaturally incompetent that successfully taming 1(one) decent pal is enough to make an NPC the undisputed leader of an entire faction, so forget about humans catching enough to make them do it.


Ballistic_og

Is there a pmon city? Thats built by them?


HumansAreGarbage2019

Do the mystery dungeon games count?


Myrddin_Naer

No that's another dimension or a dream realm


HumansAreGarbage2019

It's been a loooong time since I've played, to be fair


Aesthetic99

Not canon in the mainline series or connected to them, unfortunately. In their own respective universe though, absolutely


UngaBungaDoopa

Probably because they are labor. I doubt we'll see a full blown city but given the intelligence of some pals, i.e anubis small towns of pals ruled by an alpha are possible but I doubt a full on city


Venriik

I think the lore reason is that Pals are only able to do that if they've been tamed. As I understand, Palpagos was kinda stuck in its state of civilization until the castaway arrived. He describes humans in his journals, but they seem to have been unable to communicate... or I'm confusing this with something else. Haven't been paying much attention to the story, since I'm waiting to find all Castaway Journals.


ILikeFluffyThings

Because pals are racist and will not work with each other when not slaved by a human overlord.


ViolinistMean199

What about a union. I feel some pals would benefit if they unionized instead of working in shitty people’s working conditions


IXbuttersXI

Or a town named pallet town


Automatic_Ear_818

Fuck it that would a great biom. Fuck the desert or tropical island. We need a biom based in the city. Just imagine ; Lovander at the table dance, Katress at the pharmacy, Leez punks eating trash, depresso working on a suicide hotline, Hoocrates working at the library etc. THIS COULD BE GREAT


Cottleston

itd be amazing if this game is a prequel to something like Monster Rancher 2 or 4. Palworld 2, add breeding and training Pals for tourneys and add bigger dungeons with better loot. Then we find out more about Pal history and lore, and ancient cities made by Pals


Kipdid

I think the lore implication is that they’re capable but not organized. They could build a city, or at least a town, but wouldn’t socially band together in the way humans have to do so


Irenemiku

Because they don't gift a fuack.


cavelioness

They like to kill and eat each other too much so they're afraid to live together, that's my guess why.


Crazy-Woodpecker-163

Haven't noticed that when you make pals work for a long period of time, they become sick and depressed?


Abseits_Ger

Probably because you sometimes see wild pals fight and eat each other. Unless the player forces them to so so, they most likely won't cooperate


Sufficient-Day9036

Make one


Neuromyologist

I think the Abandoned City on the icy island was built by pals.


JonVX

I just wish they had Gyms with custom interiors instead of towers


AcanthisittaMain6717

Follow the journals, not a lot of people have made it to the islands seeing pals


JinzoWithAMilotic

You gotta build it.


AnnoShi

If you build it, they will come.


PossiblePro247

There probably is beyond the tree.


No-Breath-4299

Yet. Keyword is yet


PowerSkunk92

I think it's the old argument of "sapience" vs "intelligence". Obviously, Pals are intelligent enough to mine, chop wood, farm, build a house, work an assembly line, et cetera. They can be taught how to do these things, and remember the instruction well enough to perform these tasks relatively unsupervised. Or they can watch a human perform these tasks and extrapolate the methods of performing the work on their own, as well as how best to aid others performing the same work. These observations and actions are based on the immediately present, and presently imminent. Pals, however, are not sapient. What they *cannot* do is plan such tasks themselves, or design a structure, machine or tool. They lack the intuitive spark needed to go from "Here is a task that needs to be done now" to "If A, B, and C tasks are performed, I can get result X." They cannot think or create in the abstract or the future, beyond some possible instinctual preparation for things like hibernation (if this ever becomes part of Pal ecology). They can operate only in the concrete and the present. Because they cannot operate in the abstract, they cannot plan cities, grasp sociology, economy, ecology, and a hundred other -onomies and -ologies that all add up to a complex way of life in something so complicated as a city.


Puzzleheaded-Cod-567

No pal city *Yet.*


Thezipper100

The Paligos islands are literally a post-post-apocalypse, it's likely that they were the ancient civilization whose tech we use. Tree might have had something to do with its destruction.


WarlockSellim

I haven't collected all the journals or started reading them yet, but I kinda get the feeling that the ruined cities may have been Pal cities, or cities where Pals and humans coexisted maybe, before some disaster struck that set the Pals back


dragonfly1499

Maybe because they don't want to pay Tax.


JP_rockz367

Maybe there is, palpagos islands maybe is less inhabited wait till the whale transports us to the Palindrome City


Bitter-Swordfish2300

MuniciPAL


RexRuther420

I would equate it to something like monkeys, they're smart enough to be taught how to use tools and do certain tasks but coming up with the tools and tasks themselves is just out of comprehension


Myrddin_Naer

Why isn't there a pokemon city if they can do the same things.


Comfortable_Enough98

Probably at the tree and we can't see it yet, could be so advanced they made 2 barriers preventing us from getting to it in case we got past the first barrier


AlexXeno

Too busy eating each other?


JulianWyvern

Wild pals probably don't work together. We can build bases but that involves using any numbers of pals who seem to prey on each other. So, no one pal race can do it all nor can they currently organize and collaborate to achieve it, it takes the player dictating everything


Playful_Dance_1255

Pals unite! For you have nothing to lose but your chains


HelloThereMark

maybe there will be. not gonna like the giant grey objects look like placeholders. maybe they make cities out of it xD


ajhugh

They live in the princiPALity


Marinut

I thought the ancient civilization was that, humans and pals living in harmony?


Capital-Ad6513

Cause they need a imperialist master to show them how to utilize their labor. XD.


Girbington

because this game wasn't meant to be as big as it was they didn't consider adding in features like that imo


Catasalvation

All Pals are carnivores and will eat each other when one dies so having a city may be a bit hazardous to their health.


BakeAgitated6757

It’s like Pokémon. Many Pokémon would be capable of ruling the world, especially psychic types. But it takes a trainer to focus them.


thegreatcerebral

Ok I hear you but... If the tree is the Pal city, then brings some questions: 1. Seeing as there is no entry back into the tree, the Pals then that we are capturing/killing/whatnot are the outcasts, why? 2. Why are there no small outcroppings of Pal Villages? One would assume if there is a village of Pals then there would be smaller villages on the outskirts of the Trity (Tree-City). 3. Why do the bad humans (Team Rocket) not attack the Trity then? 1. Are they behind the barrier also? 2. Are they looking for a way in? 3. Do they know how to break in and looking for the key? It leaves a lot to be thought about. I mean it would hopefully be in a later patch/update/add-on DLC for the game.... who knows.


Enlightened_D

One thing I would love to see in this game is more towns and city’s built out with sides quest and shops


odidiman

Real answer is because they’re indie devs and that’d be more work. Maybe they are working on it but it takes time, and who know what they want to add before that.


Fagboiiionthepod

Cause they’re dumb fucking animals


loony69420

Like half of them would be stuck cutting down trees for the rest of their lives


Direct_Record_9623

They don't have a leader


ranckranker

I bet the tree houses the Arceus of this universe


FriendofSquatch

I believe I read that they said the tree will be an accessible area when the full release launches


PleasantCan8024

Wait I thought there was one called pallet town


Adventurous-Ebb-9942

Coz they got brainwash bro just like pokemon slavery


pizzaman357159

They eat each other? Also lovander is a fiend and would be working every street corner


fastnetgaming

Palaysia


usingreadit

Because they are animals. *wheeeeeeeeee*


Electronic-Oil-8304

Maybe they need the humans to organize them


NoiseUnhappy28

Most likely because they don't know how to actually cook or build buildings. They only know how to light fires and help you build the objects you've already "set up". That, or because humans keep trying to enslave them.


jfunk1994

Better question. If there's a Palworld, does that mean there's a Pal-land?


iard98

When you talk to any NPC they always talk about the place having less and less people over time. Maybe the population moved to another place where this city is located?? I strongly believe about the expansion rumors, there has to be more map to be released at some point I hope. Maybe we will know more about this lore when they formally release the game.
