## Description

Here are 3 hidden mechanics in Palworld 1.0 that can fundamentally change how you build your base, choose combat skills, and control your Pals.

We're breaking down the hidden stats behind the Transporting Work Suitability, how STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) increases your Pal's damage, and how to manually command your Pal to attack a specific enemy.

Palworld doesn't do a great job explaining any of this, so let's get into it.

1. Transporting Has Hidden Stats

The Transporting Work Suitability in Palworld is much more complicated than simply choosing the Pal with the highest Transporting level.

There are three important values you need to understand:

Pickup Quantity
Absorption Range
Transport Speed

Together, these determine how effectively your Pal can actually move resources around your base.

Transporting Pickup Quantity

Pickup Quantity determines the number of items a Pal can collect at once.

Transporting Level → Pickup Quantity

Level 1 = 2
Level 2 = 5
Level 3 = 10
Level 4 = 20
Level 5 = 40
Level 6 = 70
Level 7 = 120
Level 8 = 200
Level 9 = 320
Level 10 = 500

That means a Pal with Transporting Level 10 can potentially pick up 500 items at once, compared to just 2 at Level 1.

Transporting Absorption Range

There's also a hidden Absorption Range.

Think of this as the Pal's reach. Its hitbox combined with its Absorption Range helps determine how many nearby items it can collect.

Level 1 = 0
Level 2 = 0
Level 3 = 0
Level 4 = 300
Level 5 = 400
Level 6 = 500
Level 7 = 600
Level 8 = 700
Level 9 = 800
Level 10 = 1000

This is one reason two Pals with seemingly similar Work Suitability can perform very differently in an actual base.

Hidden Transport Speed

Finally, Pals have an internal Transport Speed value ranging from approximately 40–600.

This determines how quickly the Pal moves while actively transporting items.

The best Transporting Pal isn't necessarily determined by a single number.

You need to consider Pickup Quantity + Absorption Range + Transport Speed + Pal size/hitbox when optimizing your Palworld base.

2. STAB — Same Type Attack Bonus

Here's another mechanic Palworld doesn't explain particularly well: STAB, or Same Type Attack Bonus.

When a Pal uses an attack matching its own elemental type, that attack deals approximately 20% more damage.

For example:

Give Thunderstorm to a Dark-type Felbat and an Electric-type Orserk.

If both Pals have identical Attack stats, Orserk will deal approximately 20% more damage with Thunderstorm because Orserk is an Electric Pal using an Electric attack.

This makes elemental typing extremely important when choosing your Pal's Active Skills.

It's not always about picking whichever attack has the biggest Power number.

Matching powerful attacks with your Pal's element can significantly increase your actual damage output.

3. How to Command Your Pal to Attack

This one isn't necessarily hidden, but it took me WAY too long to realize it existed.

You can manually command your Pal to target a specific enemy.

The radial menu contains an Aggressive command that changes your Pal's general combat behavior.

But if you want your Pal to attack one specific target:

Aim down your sights at the enemy and press the Middle Mouse Button.

You can change this control under the Command Pal to Attack Enemy key binding in your settings.

When it works, you'll see a circular targeting icon appear over the enemy.

If you know another hidden Palworld mechanic the game never explains, drop it in the comments. I might include it in the next video.
