Sensible Pals - Arrival Assist (Beta)

Sensible Pals - Arrival Assist (Beta)

Help base Pals reach their work and beds.

Helps base Pals recover from failed approaches to assigned work positions and reserved beds. Includes workstation, natural logging/mining and bed arrival recovery with support and collision checks. Public beta.

What it does

• []Lets Pals attempt normal travel first.[/]

  []Attempts one checked reposition after an eligible failed approach to an assigned work position or reserved bed.[/]

  []Covers ordinary base workstations and natural tree/rock assignments.[/]

  []Checks support, collision, current assignments and bed occupancy.[/]

  []Uses a cooldown and bounded attempt tracking; production rates and work settings stay the same.[/]

  Public beta

  The recovery implementation has been tested during ordinary Windows/Steam local single-player play. Logs record work and bed recoveries, and the playtester reports improved positioning. More base layouts and positions will help identify remaining cases. This is a beta with limited coverage, not a guarantee that every stuck Pal can be recovered.

  Current limits

  The helper reacts to eligible failed approaches. A Pal already working remotely or sleeping in place may not enter those events. Sleep-in-place routes without a reserved-bed approach are outside the currently handled cases; the mod does not choose arbitrary beds or continuously sweep existing sleepers. A fresh normal work/rest cycle gives it an opportunity to act.

  Unsuitable support, steep surfaces, blocked landings or changed assignments can cause a deliberate refusal. Pal Pod resizing/fitting is not included. The glowing pawprints in the cover artwork are illustrative, not an in-game effect.

  Requirements and compatibility

  Palworld 1. 0. 5, Windows x64, Steam (tested build 25246127), with compatible Palworld UE4SS. Tested runtime: Okaetsu/Oak UE4SS 2281fa31. PalSchema is not required; UE4SS is not bundled.

  Supported beta testing scope is local single-player. Dedicated servers, remote clients, co-op hosting, Game Pass and Linux/Proton have not been validated. Client-only installation cannot control Pal movement on a remote server.

  The helper checks executable fingerprints and runtime layouts before activation. A game update or another mod altering the same native functions may leave it disabled. No FPS or frame-time improvement is claimed.

  Controls

  No new keybinds or configuration file. Play normally and let Pals attempt their assigned work or bedtime approach.

  Help improve the beta

  A useful report includes Pal species/size, workstation or bed type, a screenshot of the position and nearby floor geometry, what the Pal was doing, whether the assignment was fresh, and game/UE4SS versions.

  Preserve UE4SS.log before another launch replaces it. Look for lines and any disabled reason. The failures counter counts failed normal approaches, not crashes. Review logs for personal paths or other information before sharing them.

  Installation

  • []Save and fully close Palworld; keep a normal save backup before testing a beta.[/]

    []Install compatible Palworld UE4SS using its author's instructions.[/]

    []Extract the main download into the Palworld folder containing Palworld.exe and merge the Pal folders.[/]

    []Confirm Pal/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/PalArrival/Scripts/main.lua and PalArrival.dll are together in Scripts.[/]

    []Launch normally and look for 0. 1. 0-beta1 enabled in the log messages.[/]

    Use one installation route. Do not combine manual and Workshop copies or two UE4SS installations. When replacing an older test build, move its complete PalArrival folder outside active Mods first; do not retain an old PalArrival/dlls helper.

    Uninstallation

    Save and fully close Palworld, then remove only the manual PalArrival folder or disable/unsubscribe the Workshop item. Restart. The mod adds no custom persistent object or save schema; positions reached in normal play can be saved by the game as usual.
