In Palworld, base-building is a core mechanic that allows players to create structures, defenses, and crafting stations. One common question is how close two bases can be to each other. Here’s a simple explanation to help you set up bases without running into placement issues.
Base Placement Rules
The distance between two bases looks to be roughly four foundations long.
No Overlap Allowed:
Base boundaries (the blue lines) cannot overlap.
You can place bases very close to each other as long as the blue lines do not touch.
Tips for Close Base Placement
Turn off deterioration in settings to allow buildings to go slightly over the perimeter.
Drop temporary structures, like fences or markers, to outline the gap before starting a new base.
Move your placement cursor near an existing base. The game will prevent placement if you’re too close, helping you adjust.
Why Care?
Knowing the minimum distance helps you maximize space for multiple bases.
In multiplayer mode this rule allows players to build bases near each other without interference.
Final Thoughts
While bases in Palworld can’t overlap, they can still be very close. This gives you plenty of options to create connected hubs or neighborly bases in multiplayer games. With careful planning, you’ll be able to build efficient and collaborative setups without any hassle.
Happy building!
