Which Elements of the Aquatic Ecosystem Would Be Perfect for Palworld?

The hype over Palworld is at its all-time high, with the latest update adding a lot of very cool novelties. Of course, the community immediately came together to discuss the additions. They came up with the best tips on how to get the most out of Crude oil farming, which combinations of the new traits are the best and many more. After everyone has settled in nicely, the players daydream about future updates. Many expressed wishes for Palworld to have more elements in the aquatic ecosystem, and some of these ideas are perfect.

Palworld Community Supports the Addition of More Aquatic Elements

The initial idea came from Gadburn. They explained: “Palworld lets you climb some ridiculously huge mountains, and reach impressive elevations, but what about the depths? There needs to be a living ocean ecosystem. Throw in building on water, fishing, scavenging shipwrecks, and other aquatic activities for your Pals, and I think that would be a very solid step forward”.

As you probably know, Swimming Pals already exist (Azurobe, Surfent, Jormuntide). They can be used for transportation, but the players usually prefer using Flying Pals, just because they are more convenient. One player, sovitin, shared their idea: “Using Pals to create transport routes would be fun. So the pals can keep logistics up while the player can just explore”.

Aside from exploring the scary depths and getting more Swimming Pals, there is a huge demand for the addition of fishing. AppropriateStranger noted: “Yes, give me fishing. I often feel awkward when my Mounts are hungry and I have to go back to the base to grab farm food. The absence of food sources while out exploring is definitely one of the key points where I think the game can improve”.

Others pointed out that they’d enjoy the relaxing aspect of fishing, besides it being a food source. Well, one player, Mick_May, shared some encouraging facts. They reported: “There is a fishing rod in the code, so that might be a possibility someday”.

Some Players Might Be Overwhelmed by a Whole New Ecosystem

Palworld is still quite a new game, and many players think that adding more elements to the aquatic ecosystem before perfecting all the other existing elements might be a bad idea. SirWigglesVonWoogly said: “They’ll probably get to it at some point, but right now the land area is pretty sparse, I don’t think an underwater update would be the Subnautica you’re imagining”.

Studio-Aegis added: “The main issue will be that the ocean depths don’t go that deep in most places. They’ll have to make many areas much much deeper to really play with the concept. That or just load us into an aquatic plane. Would then have to decide too if we have to be on an aquatic mount at all times or if we will get underwater breathing and swimming”.

The idea of expanding the aquatic ecosystem is very alluring, but maybe we aren’t quite ready for that. Many players are still trying to grasp the basic concepts and the number of details in this game is already astronomical. Adding an entire ecosystem might be overwhelming for the player base. However, we fully support this idea being realized sometime in the future.
