Stress

[Melivore]

Hmmm i getting a lot of the PALS becoming stressed as i progress now in the bases, for now im using things like medicine and stuff to keep them going but what else could it be as it does not really say why there upset

Medicine does nothing for sanity. Pals become stressed when their sanity gets too low. Build beds, feedboxes and recreation spots (like the hot tub) for them.

High grade one removes the side effects of the stress tho so things like over eating and depression that kind of thing.
All have beds, feed boxes and hot tuub

Check the foods that you're feeding them, base ingredients don't have a SAN value but many cooked foods do, the higher the better.

I have 15 pals in all my bases and none ever get any stress. feed them cooked food, don't overwork them. Mine stay on normal work orders I never even built the command podium, and they eat jam filled buns but even baked berries I have never had any get stressed. Just don't leave them out of your palbox if you are offline and the server is running because they will all get screwed up regardless in that case.

hmm aye thing it might be food problem then as ive never really cooked anything as its not automation and anoying to stay in one base for ages waiting for stuff to cook

The majority of medicines all remove side effects of stress. That's not limited to high-grade. It's a huge part of why I think it's a useless mechanic.

That's funny. I don't recall pals ever queuing up recipes and cooking themselves. Clearly they enjoy the raw wheat and tomatoes.

There needs to be a bread level next to each food to suggest what Tier PAL its good for

did you make pool?

Note the stats of the food you feed them. For example. a cooked berry will feed them 21 and provide 1 SAN. A salad will provide them 84 food and 11 SAN.

Higher quality beds will also provide SAN. An open layout to your base on flat terrain will also help prevent them from getting stuck, which prevents them from eating and sleeping in a bed. I have one main building and the rest is open space with clear room for pathing. I also put a feeder next to each main work area, to minimize downtime traveling to eat. You can put a feeder INSIDE the breeding pen, for example, which means more eggs to hatch.

If you check on them now and then to make sure none are stuck someplace (easier to do with a more open concept base), give them cooked food, and a place to sleep, you will almost never need to use medicine.

hmm speaking of the jam filled buns they do take a long time to make i found

Shove all your pals into the pal box for a while and leave the base empty.

[Melivore]

even with that soon as you put them back there gonna eat so just need to find a more productive way to make stuff if posssible as its still EA so room to grow.

[TemplarGFX]

just cook all your berries and put them in the first slot of each feed box.

They give 1 san which is enough. If a pal gets sad, they start eating alot, that will raise their sanity and stop them from worsening

Baked Berries are also fantastic ways to level up bred pals, put em in your team and then have one team member with level 3 kindling cook them. you'll get like 20 levels in a few minutes (on your pals)
