Palbox Surveyor - Now With GridLock

Palbox Border Auto-Hide

Replace the circular horizontal base boundary with a square that keeps the existing reach to each side and adds usable corners.

The square is centered on the Palbox. A base with a 35 m radius becomes a 70 m by 70 m square. Saved Palbox positions, base IDs and ownership stay intact.

Choose your alignment

The default follows the Palbox's facing. In Scripts/config.lua, Alignment = 'cardinal' fixes the sides north/south/east/west; Alignment = 'palbox' follows the Palbox. Change it while the game is closed, then restart. Installation enables the square automatically; there is no in-game shape toggle.

Existing bases

The square applies to existing bases as well as new ones. The outline adapter refreshes loaded and streamed Palboxes. Existing Palboxes update without rebuilding them; the saved-base outline and travel refresh have been tested in game.

Planning and visibility

Surveyor automatically plans a square when this mod's native square boundary is active. Border Auto-Hide handles the actual border's visibility. Both companions are optional and retain their normal controls.

Compatibility

The tested setup is Windows Steam single-player. The native helper checks the supported executable before enabling. Dedicated servers, overlapping bases, other base-range mods and all worker/navigation cases have not been verified.

Removing this mod returns the base to a circle on the next launch. Buildings placed in the added corners will then be outside the circular base. Save and fully close the game before changing installed mod files.

Installation and updates

Requires Palworld for Windows and Palworld-specific UE4SS. PalSchema is not required.
