PALFORGE ASCENSION
Your Palbox knows what you can build. PALFORGE shows you how.
Stop guessing what to breed, which Pal to keep, where a trait is hiding, or whether the build you want is even possible.
PALFORGE ASCENSION is an in-game Palworld companion built around one simple idea:
**Use the Pals you actually own to figure out the best thing you can do next.**
PALFORGE can scan your Palbox, identify your individual Pals and their traits, find breeding routes, locate missing parents, rank your strongest Pals, plan powerful workers, build parties, search an expanded Paldex, compare mounts, and much more.
And now PALFORGE goes considerably further with Trait Forge — choose the traits you want, choose the Pal you want them on, and let PALFORGE work out how to get there using your collection.
What began as a private breeding assistant has grown into a much larger companion system and an active community project.
PALFORGE is still under active development. New tools, compatibility improvements, stability work, UI improvements, and community-requested features are being added regularly.
NEW — TRAIT FORGE
Pick the traits. Pick the Pal. Build it.
Trait Forge turns your Palbox into a breeding-planning engine.
Instead of digging through boxes trying to remember which Pal has which passive, then manually working out generations of breeding, PALFORGE can use the traits detected on the Pals you own to help construct the build you want.
The basic workflow is intentionally simple:
1. PICK TRAITS → 2. PICK TARGET → 3. FOLLOW THE PLAN
PICK YOUR TRAITS
Quickly browse the traits PALFORGE has detected across your collection.
Choose up to four traits for the build you want.
You can work from:
- My Owned Traits — traits already available somewhere in your Palbox
- All Traits — useful when planning a future build
- Trait search and filtering
- Individual owned trait carriers
- Multiple-trait carriers that can simplify a breeding project
No more trying to remember:
"Which Pal did I have Artisan on?"
PALFORGE already knows.
PICK YOUR TARGET
Choose the Pal you ultimately want to create.
PALFORGE combines your selected target, selected traits, breeding data, genders, and actual owned Pals to determine how those traits can be moved toward the target.
FOLLOW THE BREEDING PLAN
PALFORGE then turns the route into a visual breeding checklist.
Plans can show:
- The exact parents to breed
- Parent gender requirements
- Which result you need
- Which traits MUST carry forward
- Support parents that need to be prepared
- Trait-carrier stages
- Intermediate generations
- Final target consolidation
- When you already own the finished combination
The goal is to make complicated breeding projects something you can actually follow while playing instead of something requiring a spreadsheet and twelve browser tabs.
Trait inheritance is still governed by Palworld, so PALFORGE cannot guarantee that a passive transfers on a particular egg. The plan tells you what needs to inherit before moving to the next stage.
PALBOX INTELLIGENCE
PALFORGE doesn't just know that you own a species.
It can build a detailed working snapshot of the individual Pals in your collection and use that information throughout the mod.
Depending on the information available, PALFORGE can track things such as:
- Species
- Individual owned copies
- Gender
- Level
- Passive traits
- HP
- Attack
- Defense
- Work Speed
- Condensation rank
- Soul investment
- Work suitability
- Storage location
- Combat potential
- Work potential
That information can then power Breeding, Trait Forge, Power, owned-Pal profiles, party building, and base planning without repeatedly hammering the game for the same information.
PALFORGE's newer snapshot architecture is also designed to keep normal menu navigation separate from live Palbox interaction.
BREEDING LAB
Breeding Lab is the heart of PALFORGE.
It is designed to answer more useful questions than simply:
"What two Pals make Anubis?"
PALFORGE can instead help answer:
"Given the Pals I actually own, what's the best way for ME to make the Pal I want?"
Features include:
- Direct breeding recipes
- Ready breeding pairs
- Multi-generation breeding chains
- Gender-aware parent planning
- Locked breeding routes
- One Parent Missing
- Target Planner
- Trait Forge
- Passive-trait planning
- Owned-parent detection
- Reachable breeding upgrades
- Fast breeding routes
- Breeding routes based on your actual Palbox
- Individual owned-Pal profiles
This becomes increasingly useful as your Palbox grows and manually keeping track of hundreds of Pals stops being practical.
POWER
Stop judging your collection one Pal at a time.
POWER analyzes the Pals you've already collected and helps surface the ones worth paying attention to.
It can help identify:
- Your best owned Pals
- Strong combat candidates
- Strong base workers
- Breedable upgrades
- Fast upgrade opportunities
- Role-specific candidates
- Individual build profiles
- Work-skill standouts
- Trait donors
PALFORGE isn't only trying to tell you what's theoretically strongest.
A major part of the system is answering:
**What is the strongest option I can actually use or realistically reach from what I own right now?**
OWNED PAL PROFILES
Two Pals of the same species are not necessarily the same Pal.
PALFORGE can distinguish individual owned copies and expose the information that actually matters when deciding which one to breed, keep, work, or build around.
Owned profiles can include:
- Portrait
- Gender
- Level
- Passive traits
- HP
- Attack
- Defense
- Work Speed
- Combat evaluation
- Work evaluation
- Roles
- Work suitability
- Other captured build information
This individual-Pal data is also what makes systems such as Trait Forge substantially more useful.
BASE PLANNING
Build around the workers you actually have.
PALFORGE can analyze your owned Pals to help build stronger and more efficient bases.
Features include:
- Best-owned workers
- Work-skill comparisons
- Farming planning
- Mining planning
- Production planning
- Transport planning
- Job-specific worker analysis
- Supreme Base Planner
- Breedable worker upgrades
- Trait-aware worker information
Instead of only showing the theoretical best worker in Palworld, PALFORGE can help identify the best worker in your Palbox and where an upgrade is realistically possible.
PARTY BUILDER
PALFORGE can help assemble a five-Pal combat party using strong candidates from your actual collection.
The system is designed around owned-Pal analysis rather than simply displaying a generic "best Pals" list.
Where PALFORGE performs legitimate party-container actions, it uses Palworld's normal container systems rather than directly modifying save files.
PALDEX
PALFORGE includes an expanded searchable Paldex designed to be useful while you're actually playing.
Features include:
- Pal portraits
- Elements
- Work suitability
- Search and filtering
- Ownership information
- Mount classifications
- LAND / FLYER / WATER / HYBRID labels
- Movement speeds
- Boost speeds
- Flight information where applicable
- Water movement information where applicable
- Stamina
- Pal Gear / saddle unlock levels
- Research-status information where available
The idea is simple: fewer trips out of the game just to look something up.
DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF PALWORLD'S WAY
A lot of development work has gone into making PALFORGE more than a collection of features.
Stability matters.
PALFORGE's current architecture deliberately separates its normal tools from the native Palbox interface wherever possible.
Pal storage information is converted into PALFORGE's own working snapshot and reused by systems such as:
Breeding → Trait Forge → Power → Paldex → Profiles → Base Planning
This reduces unnecessary repeated interaction with live game objects and allows PALFORGE's menus to do considerably more with information it has already collected.
OPTIONAL SERVER COMPANION
PALFORGE works as a client-side companion without requiring a PALFORGE server.
For communities that want more, PALFORGE can also connect to the optional PALFORGE Server Companion.
Server-enabled systems can include:
- Ascension progression
- Player profiles
- Group Finder
- Pal Request Board
- Leaderboards
- Community contracts
- World information
- Live Operations
- Announcements
- Server events
- Additional multiplayer systems
The Server Companion is not required for normal breeding, Trait Forge, Palbox analysis, Power, Paldex, party, or base-planning functionality.

MOD COMPATIBILITY
PALFORGE includes a Compatibility Safe Mode and multiple protections intended to reduce conflicts with other UE4SS and Palbox-related mods.
Current protections include:
- Reduced shared Palbox interaction
- Third-party Palbox widget awareness
- Duplicate PALFORGE runtime prevention
- Click-spam protection
- Bounded background work
- Stale-control rejection
- Failing-action circuit breakers
- Snapshot-based handling for higher-risk systems
- Isolated per-Pal failures during collection analysis
No UE4SS mod can guarantee compatibility with every possible combination of third-party mods.
Mods that replace or heavily modify the same Palbox, player-container, UI, or Unreal systems PALFORGE depends on may still conflict.
If you experience a crash or serious problem, please report:
- PALFORGE version
- Palworld version
- UE4SS version
- Complete mod list
- Exact action immediately before the problem
- Latest UE4SS.log
- Matching crash dump if one was created
Compatibility reports are tracked through the PALFORGE Discord.
REQUIREMENTS
Platform: Windows / Steam client Loader: UE4SS Lua Required Framework: RE-UE4SS
PALFORGE is primarily a client-side UE4SS Lua mod.
The optional PALFORGE Server Companion is separate and is not required for normal client functionality.
INSTALLATION
Installation instructions are included with the release package.
For manual UE4SS installation, PALFORGE installs under:
Pal\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\PalBreedingAssistant
Close Palworld completely before installing or updating PALFORGE.
UPDATING
When installing a newer version:
- Close Palworld completely.
- Install the new PALFORGE files.
- Allow updated files to overwrite the previous version.
- Launch Palworld normally.
UNINSTALLING
Close Palworld completely before removing PALFORGE.
For a manual installation, remove the:
PalBreedingAssistant
folder from the UE4SS Mods directory.
The optional Server Companion is a separate installation and must be removed separately if installed.
SAVE IMPACT
PALFORGE's normal analysis and interface systems do not intentionally edit Palworld save files directly.
Systems such as:
- Breeding analysis
- Trait Forge
- Power rankings
- Paldex
- Palbox scanning
- Owned-Pal profiles
- Base planning
primarily read game information and maintain PALFORGE's own runtime state.
Features that perform legitimate in-game actions, such as party-container operations, use Palworld's existing game/server systems.
As with any modded game installation, backing up important worlds before changing mods is recommended.
PALFORGE IS STILL GROWING
PALFORGE started because breeding gets complicated surprisingly quickly.
Then came the obvious next questions:
Which parents do I already have?
Which one has the trait I need?
What's my strongest worker?
Can I breed something better?
How many generations away is the Pal I actually want?
Can I move these four traits onto that Pal?
Those questions are what PALFORGE is being built to answer.
The long-term goal is not simply to make another Palworld calculator.
It's to build an in-game intelligence layer for your entire Pal collection.
And we're not finished.
