[Known Bug]
After the v0.2.0.6 update, it has been reported that there is an issue where eggs cannot be placed inside the incubator. We apologize for this inconvenience.
The problem can be resolved by rebuilding the incubator.
→Fixed in v0.2.1.0
Regarding official server access issues and future countermeasures against cheat
As a company, we do not tolerate any fraudulent activity or cheating, and we are working on measures to deal with it strictly and as a priority.
First of all, we plan to release a player list function for servers in an update at the end of February. Through this, we will strengthen the identification of players who engage in cheating and the suspension of their use by the development team.
Following this, we plan to introduce an external anti-cheat solution to take measures against particularly frequent fraudulent activities and cheating.
*Please note: In the case of community servers, single player, and co-op, the use of this function is optional.
In addition to the above measures, we will continue to take thorough measures against further cheating and fraudulent activities.
Although the development team is dealing with each issue on a daily basis and taking measures, there are many cases where we are not able to keep up, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Our entire team is working hard to get everyone back to a state where they can enjoy the game comfortably and with peace of mind as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support.

2024/02/07 Update Patch v0.1.4.1
Patch Notes:
===
▼Major Fixes
・Fixed an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the total number of Pals captured by the guild reached approximately 7000.
・In the previous patch, save data that had already been in this state (for servers, the server's world data) remained in a broken state that made it impossible to load, but after applying this patch it will be resolved and will load properly.
・Fixed an issue where some weapons equipped by other players would disappear when a player used a grenade in multiplayer.
・Fixed an issue where, although the displayed capture probability increased when the capture power was strengthened with Lifmunk Effigies, the capture probability did not actually increase at all due to an internal processing bug.
▼Base related
・Fixed an issue where if a Pal that was manually assigned to a breeding farm went to sleep, it would not wake up forever.
・Fixed an issue where no wood would drop when Pal at the base felled a tree.
▼Others

Palworld is OUT NOW today!!!
Palworld started with a small team of four people.
With Craftopia, we realized the potential that survival crafting games had, but as we continued development, we realized new possibilities.
How much fun would it be if you went on an adventure, lived, and built a base with Pals, who had their own quirks and personalities?
With this in mind, we have worked hard to develop this game for the past three years.
Developers who sympathized with Palworld gathered one after another, and the scale of the game grew far beyond what we ever imagined.
Palworld starts from here.
We have removed the critical bugs and the quality is now high enough for everyone to enjoy, but we will continue to implement important elements for Palworld.
- PvP/Arena
- Major building system updates
- Raid Boss to fight that guild members must gather and cooperate to defeat
- Trading Pals with players in other world
We are confident that if we continue to update Palworld properly, it will become the best game ever.
We will continue to do our best to update the game in order to bring it one step closer to becoming a great game.
We look forward to your continued support !!!

[How does multiplayer work in Palworld?]
You can play Palworld with up to 3 friends by simply starting a multiplayer game and inviting them (4-player co-op). Beyond this, you can create a dedicated server, which will allow for up to 32 players to play in the same world and create guilds together. We will provide the tools to create these servers yourself at launch.
[Can I use my single-player character in multiplayer too?]
At the moment, partially yes. Your character is bound to your world and is not shared across servers or single-player.
However, if you are the host of a co-op game then you can switch between single-player or multiplayer freely, but your guests will not be able to do this.
We plan to provide a server/save transfer method later on during development.
[Does Palworld support modding? Steam Workshop?]
Steam Workshop support won't be supported straight away but we plan to add it after launch. Palworld is made in Unreal Engine 5 and we look forward to seeing what sort of mods people come up with!
[Is this game a scam? Or is it a money-making MMO or virtual currency game?]
It is not a scam and will definitely be released on January 19th. PalWorld is a typical Steam game, you buy it once and it is yours forever. While we may consider expansions after the full release, that is a conversation we will all have together, as a community, when the time comes!
