Palworld 1.0 Update Enables Merchant Capture and New Base Spots

The July 10 2026 release of Palworld version 1.0 adds a merchant‑capture mechanic, allowing players to bring specialist vendors to their bases for on‑demand supplies such as ammo, food, medicine, and crafting materials. Guides list the most valuable merchants, their locations, and how to force‑spawn or secure them.

The same update overhauls base‑building strategy. New recommended locations are detailed for early‑game resource gathering and late‑game material production, with coordinates for sites rich in ore, coal, sulfur, quartz, crude oil and the end‑game materials hexolite and soralite. Security considerations, such as natural defenses against raids, are also highlighted.

Together, the changes streamline resource logistics and reshape settlement planning for players seeking efficient progression in Palworld.
