In Palworld, automating your base is crucial for efficient resource gathering and crafting. A key element of automation is Transporting, the Work Suitability that ensures resources and crafted items are moved to storage, freeing you up to explore and battle. This guide will delve into the best Transporting Pals in Palworld, helping you choose the ideal companions to maximize your base’s productivity.
Understanding Transporting Work Suitability in Palworld
Transporting Pals are the logistical backbone of any thriving Palworld base. They tirelessly gather dropped resources from production structures like Stone Pits and Plantations, as well as crafted items from workbenches, and deposit them into nearby storage containers. This automation is essential for streamlining your crafting processes and ensuring a constant supply of materials.
How Transporting Works: Level vs. Movespeed
When it comes to Transporting, two key factors come into play: Transporting Level and Pal Movespeed. Understanding how these interact is vital for choosing the right Pal for the job.
- Transporting Level: This determines the stack size a Pal can carry at once. A higher Transporting level means fewer trips to storage, particularly beneficial for bulk resources.
- Pal Movespeed: This dictates how quickly a Pal moves between resource points and storage. Faster Pals can complete more trips in the same amount of time, ideal for rapidly produced or individually dropped items.
The optimal balance between these two depends on the specific task and resource type.
Transporting Level Explained: Stack Size Matters for Bulk Resources
| Transporting Lv. | Items per Stack Carried |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 10 |
| 4 | 20 |
For resources harvested in stacks, such as stone from a Stone Pit or produce from Food Plantations, a high Transporting Level is paramount. Pals with higher levels can carry significantly larger stacks, drastically reducing the number of trips required to empty production structures. This is especially crucial in late-game bases with large-scale resource production.
Palworld – Transporting Items
It’s important to note that Transporting Pals prioritize grabbing entire stacks if available. They will not individually collect items to form a larger stack.
Movespeed Matters for Individual Items and Ranches
In contrast, when dealing with individually spawned items, such as those dropped by Pals at Ranches or from natural Mining Nodes, Pal movespeed becomes more critical. Since Pals pick up items one at a time in these scenarios, a high Transporting level offers less advantage. Faster Pals will quickly gather scattered items, ensuring efficient collection of Ranch products like Wool or Honey, or mined ores from open-world nodes.

The choice between speed (Helzephyr) and stack size (Wumpo/Knocklem) depends on your base layout and resource flow. For shorter distances and stacked resources, Lv. 4 Pals are optimal. For longer distances or individual items, Helzephyr’s speed reigns supreme.
How to Optimize Transporting in Your Base
Beyond Pal selection, base layout and strategic upgrades can significantly enhance Transporting efficiency.
Base Layout and Storage Placement
- Strategic Storage: Place storage containers strategically near production structures. For example, position chests close to Stone Pits, Logging Sites, and Plantations to minimize travel time for Transporting Pals.
- Clear Pathways: Ensure clear and unobstructed pathways for Pals to move between production and storage. Avoid clutter and terrain obstacles that can slow them down.
- Base Size: Consider base size. Larger bases may benefit more from faster Transporting Pals to cover greater distances, while smaller, compact bases might favor high-level transporters for bulk handling.
Utilizing Pal Essence Condenser for Level 5 Transporting
For ultimate Transporting efficiency, the Pal Essence Condenser is a game-changer. By condensing Pals, you can upgrade their Work Suitabilities. A Pal with Lv. 4 Transporting, when condensed to 4-Stars, will achieve an unprecedented Lv. 5 Transporting, further increasing their stack size capacity. This level of optimization is for players aiming for peak base performance.

Uses for Transporting Work Suitability: The Foundation of Base Automation
Transporting Pals are not just about moving items; they are the cornerstone of a fully automated base.
Automated Resource Management: From Production to Storage
The primary function of Transporting Pals is to automatically collect resources generated by other work suitabilities. When Pals assigned to tasks like Lumbering, Mining, or Planting drop resources, Transporting Pals spring into action. They efficiently gather these dropped items and deposit them into designated storage containers. This creates a seamless loop of production and storage, ensuring your base is constantly accumulating resources without manual intervention.
Food is Automatically Placed in a Feed Box: Sustaining Your Workforce
Beyond raw materials, Transporting Pals also play a crucial role in base sustainability by automatically placing harvested food sources into Feed Boxes. This ensures your working Pals are always fed, preventing them from becoming hungry and reducing their work efficiency. This self-sustaining food system is vital for maintaining a productive base, especially during extended gameplay sessions.
Transporting Crafted Items: Completing the Automation Cycle
Since the 0.2.0.6 update, Palworld has introduced a significant quality-of-life improvement: Transporting Pals can now move crafted items from workbenches and similar structures to storage chests. When crafting, enabling the “Allow Transport By Pals” option instructs your Transporting Pals to automatically relocate the finished product to a storage chest.
This feature, combined with the ability to designate item types for specific storage chests, allows for highly organized and automated crafting workflows. You can set up production lines where Pals automatically craft items and Transporting Pals ensure those items are efficiently stored, ready for your use or further crafting processes.
