Like the other already added, you can tweak the value, but if you add your bases in "easier" island the raids gets easier to handle. Additionally, if you circle your base with walls without any doors the raids are completed ignored. The merchants too.

I'm not OP but have 300 hours in Palworld: yes. While raids are kind of rare anyway (from my and my wife's experience), they do scale based on the continent your base is on, but you can totally beef up your pals to make them fully defensible against raids. There are buildables in the tech tree for defenses like walls and turrets.

You can just turn off raids entirely, too

Edit: Its been a year since I last played, looks like 1.0 saw an overhaul to raid mechanics.

From what I recall, raids are scaled. Don't recall what they scale off. Possibly based on the highest level of players within a guild, or maybe of pals within a base.

If you are running a standalone server, there is a server config file with a fair amount of options, might be able to tweak some settings there for damage.

One setting I do know exists is you can turn off the slow damage over time to structures built outside of a bases radius, increase the number of pals a base can support, the number of bases that can be made.

Not sure what options you can set if just hosting a game and inviting people.

A common strategy to mostly eliminate raids, at least when I last played, was to build bases in a few specific locations that were either impossible, or difficult for the attackers to path to, but means location options are a bit limited as there are only a handful of good building spots like that.

One of my annoyances (if I can murder the language), is the fact that it was released a version 1.0 with dozens of issues. Quality of life is fine, but the lack of a vast majority of details kind of breaks the game. This isn't a 1.0 final product release, it was a Alpha 2.0 release.

Game design is fun!

To the point that I kind of live making GDD for games that I'll never make.

But it's also fun to make something from ground up, making music, making graphics, making everything.

Ohhh shoot... I do use a very strict VPN and I can access. Would you mind sharing which VPN are you using, maybe it's something that I've done wrong.

Just as a double-check I validated in a DNS checker, all the countries are enabled. I do have a heavy anti-bot measures on the page, with a lot of traps, if you ask a bot to crawl the page it will suffer.

Again, sorry for the trouble, and let me know the info so I can validate the VPN and check the access.

And yet this isn't a full problem. But when you have the quests as part of the game, I kind of expected a little bit more than the Pal Critic. These are very... boring, and have a simple fix. Allow the user to select a pal from the box.

The general loop is good, but the levelling is somewhat extreme, I've ignore some of the techs because I knew that in the next 5 min I would have unlocked the next tier. So it feels somewhat off.

Yep of we'd have access to our palbox beside those critics , I'd do them, but the back and forth is annoying
