Customization and Tips:
•Keybindings: Both KBM and controller users can customize their controls by going into the game's settings menu. For KBM, this is usually found under "Controls" where you can rebind keys. For controllers, you might also adjust sensitivity and aim assist settings here.
•Controller Compatibility: Palworld supports Xbox controllers natively. For PlayStation controllers, you might need to use Steam Input if playing on Steam or configure your controller through Xbox settings if using Game Pass.
•Ergonomics and Comfort: Some players might find the default dodge key (Ctrl) on KBM less than ideal for quick movements. Consider rebinding to a more accessible key like 'C' or using a mouse with side buttons.
•Learning Curve: The game has a slight learning curve for controls, especially with managing Pals. Practice in a safe environment or use Creative mode to get accustomed to the controls.
Sources:
•While crafting this guide, general knowledge from multiple sources was utilized, including but not limited to game guides from sites like GameWith, Cultured Vultures, and Prima Games. However, for specific controls, the game's own tutorial and settings menu are your most accurate references.
Remember, these controls might evolve with updates, so always check in-game for the most current control schemes. If you encounter any issues or find the controls uncomfortable, adjust them to your liking or seek community advice for popular control setups.
