When starting their adventures in Palworld, players rarely think about saving game progress, instead choosing to explore a new world and its mechanics. However, having established a decent base and acquired at least a few rare Pals, you probably do not want to lose this progress. At this point, many will try to find the save button in the in-game menu, but not everything is so simple.
Unfortunately, players can not create many saves and return to them at will. It is a bit disappointing because you won't be able to secure yourself before a boss fight, for example. However, you don't have to worry about your overall progress, as the game will take care of it for you.
Palworld: How to Repair Items
Repairing items is always better than crafting new ones in Palworld, which will help you save valuable resources and ensure optimized usage.
How To Save Progress in Palworld
First, it is worth noting that Palworld has a permanent autosave progress feature and uses it quite often. The game will save all progress on your server every few minutes, and you can verify this by periodically noticing a corresponding notification in the upper right corner of the screen. Unfortunately, players cannot disable this feature or change the period between saves.
Also, if you want to save your game before exiting Palworld, you don't have to worry about that either. The game automatically saves your progress after you click Return to Title or Exit the Game. However, if you are playing with friends, the saving process repeats after each player leaves the game. The creators of Palworld have made sure that players have peace of mind about their achievements in the game world, so you have nothing to worry about.
Palworld Multiplayer Not Working for Many Players
Palworld's multiplayer features appear to be completely broken for many players mere hours after Pocketpair's latest game reached early access.
The only reason you can lose progress is if the game crashes. However, this happens extremely rarely, and you will only lose a few minutes of gameplay in the worst case. Of course, this can be disappointing if you defeat a boss during these few minutes, but unfortunately, you will have to challenge it again. And if you're playing with friends, you don't have to worry about it.
Instead, if you want to leave the game for an extended period, we recommend creating a backup of Palworld's save file. You only need to go to C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames and copy the SaveGames folder to another location. And if, after returning to the game after a while, you notice any problems, you can restore your progress using a backup copy.
