Palworld Work Suitabilities Explained: Every Skill, Tier, and Top Pal for the Job

Every Pal in Palworld carries a set of quiet talents called Work Suitabilities. Treat them as passive job traits instead of combat moves. They cover everything from chopping logs to lighting up electric pylons, and picking the right Pal for the right station is what separates a smooth base from a chaotic one.

The Full List of Work Suitabilities

Since the Early Access launch, Palworld has shipped with 12 Work Suitabilities, and the Tides of Terraria update left that number untouched. Here is what each role actually does at your base:

• Kindling: Lights furnaces and cooks food.
• Watering: Hydrates crops and turns water wheels.
• Planting: Sows seeds in plantations.
• Gathering: Harvests ripe crops.
• Lumbering: Fells trees and produces wood.
• Mining: Breaks rocks and other mineral nodes.
• Medicine Production: Crafts medicine at the proper workbench.
• Handiwork: Operates Workbenches, Conveyor Belts, and similar stations.
• Cooling: Slows food decay using cold-based ingredients.
• Transporting: Moves harvested items into storage.
• Generating Electricity: Powers electric machines.
• Farming: Drops specific resources when assigned to a Ranch.

A quick note on Farming: the item a Pal produces inside a Ranch depends on its species, not on a level value.

How Work Suitability Levels Work

Most suitabilities use a 1 to 4 scale, with 4 being the most efficient. A Cooling Lv. 4 Pal will keep your fridge running circles around a Cooling Lv. 1 helper, and the gap only grows as your base scales up. Stack the right specialists into each station and you save real time on automation chains.

The lists below cover the strongest options for each task. If a Pal appears in several categories, that usually means it pulls double duty and is worth catching early.

Farming Pals and What They Drop

Farming sits apart from the rest. There are no levels, just a fixed output tied to the species. Drop one of these Pals into a Ranch and watch the resource pile build itself:

• Lamball: Wool
• Cremis: Wool
• Melpaca: Wool
• Chikipi: Egg
• Mozzarina: Milk
• Beegarde: Honey
• Caprity: Red Berries
• Woolipop: Cotton Candy
• Flambelle: Flame Organ
• Sibeyx: High Quality Cloth
• Mau: Gold Coin
• Mayu Cryst: Gold Coin
• Kelpsea: Pal Fluids
• Kelpsea Ignis: Flame Organ
• Dumud: High Quality Pal Oil
• Sootseer: Bone
• Caprity Noct: Venom Gland
• Vixy: Gold Coin, Arrow, Pal Sphere, or Mega Sphere

Keep this list handy when you are deciding who to catch next. A balanced lineup with one or two specialists per station usually beats hoarding a single rare Pal that can only do one job well.
