How to Get Flour in Palworld? The Essential Guide

Flour in Palworld is acquired by first growing Wheat at your base, then processing it at a Mill to obtain Wheat Flour. This flour is a crucial ingredient in many advanced recipes, particularly for baking bread which restores Sanity to your hard-working Pals.

Introduction: The Breadwinner’s Guide to Palworld Flour

Flour in Palworld is far more than just a base ingredient; it’s the cornerstone of a happy and productive Pal workforce. While venturing out into the vast and sometimes dangerous Palworld landscape is exciting, a well-maintained base ensures survival and progress. And a well-fed base, sustained by the fruits of your labor, including bread made with flour, is a thriving base. This guide will equip you with the knowledge to reliably produce flour, unlock advanced recipes, and keep your Pals’ Sanity levels high. Flour production isn’t just about food; it’s about building a sustainable ecosystem within your Palworld base.

The Importance of Flour in Palworld

Why bother with flour in the first place? The answer is simple: Sanity. Pals working tirelessly at your base, whether crafting items, generating power, or defending your territory, experience a decrease in Sanity. Low Sanity levels lead to reduced work speed, increased stress, and eventually, Pals becoming incapacitated. Flour is the key ingredient for baking bread, and bread is an excellent and relatively easy-to-produce source of Sanity restoration. Happy Pals mean a productive base, allowing you to progress faster and conquer tougher challenges. Neglecting your Pals’ Sanity can lead to a cascading failure of your entire operation.

Setting Up Your Wheat Farm

To produce flour, you’ll need to establish a Wheat Farm at your base. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

Reach Level 15: You need to reach player level 15 to unlock the Wheat Plantation schematic in the Technology tree.
Unlock the Wheat Plantation: Spend Technology Points to unlock the Wheat Plantation recipe.
Gather Resources: You will need the following resources to build the Wheat Plantation:
- Wheat Seeds: 3
- Wood: 20
- Stone: 20
Build the Wheat Plantation: Select the Wheat Plantation from your build menu and place it in a suitable location at your base.
Assign Pals: Assign Pals with the Planting, Watering, and Gathering work suitability to the Wheat Plantation.
Wait for Wheat to Grow: Once the Wheat Plantation is built and Pals are assigned, they will automatically plant, water, and harvest the Wheat.

Building the Mill for Flour Production

With a steady supply of Wheat, you’ll need a Mill to process it into flour.

Reach Level 15: Just like the Wheat Plantation, the Mill also unlocks at player level 15.
Unlock the Mill: Spend Technology Points to unlock the Mill schematic in the Technology tree.
Gather Resources: You will need the following resources to build the Mill:
- Wood: 50
- Stone: 20
Build the Mill: Select the Mill from your build menu and place it near your Wheat storage.
Assign Pals: Assign Pals with the Handiwork work suitability to the Mill. It’s important to note that you, the player, can also manually operate the Mill by interacting with it.
Process Wheat into Flour: Once the Mill is built, place Wheat in your inventory and then interact with the Mill. The Pal (or you) will begin grinding the Wheat into Flour.

Optimizing Flour Production

Maximize your flour output with these tips:

Base Location: Choose a base location with adequate space for both the Wheat Plantation and the Mill. Proximity reduces travel time for your Pals.
Pal Selection: Choose Pals with high Work Speed and relevant Work Suitabilities. For example, Pals like Petallia and Lyleen are exceptionally good at Planting. Cattiva and other pals with Handiwork will be needed to operate the Mill.
Base Management: Keep your base well-maintained and free of obstacles that might hinder Pal movement.
Pal Sanity: Ensure your Pals have adequate food, rest, and recreation to maintain high Sanity levels. This will prevent them from becoming unproductive.
Technology Upgrades: Invest in technology upgrades that improve your base and Pal efficiency.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Here are a few common pitfalls to avoid when producing flour:

Neglecting Sanity: Forgetting to provide Pals with Sanity-restoring items can lead to significant productivity losses.
Insufficient Pal Numbers: Not assigning enough Pals to planting, watering, gathering, and milling can bottleneck production.
Poor Base Layout: A poorly designed base with long travel distances wastes valuable Pal time.
Forgetting to replant seeds: If the auto planting function is not working, you need to manually replant wheat seeds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flour in Palworld

Where do I find Wheat Seeds?

Wheat Seeds can be found by defeating or capturing specific Pals, such as Dinossom, Broncherry, and Cremis. They can also be purchased from Wandering Merchants in various settlements.

What level do I need to be to get Flour?

You need to reach Level 15 to unlock both the Wheat Plantation and the Mill in the Technology tree.

What Pals are best for operating the Mill?

Pals with high Handiwork skill are the most efficient at operating the Mill. Cattiva is a common early-game Pal with Handiwork, while later on, you may want to use Pals like Anubis.

Can I automate the entire flour production process?

Yes, you can. By assigning Pals with the necessary Work Suitabilities to the Wheat Plantation and the Mill, you can automate the entire process from planting to milling.

What else can I make with Flour besides Bread?

Flour is a key ingredient in several advanced recipes, including Pizza, Cake, and other dishes that provide various benefits to both you and your Pals.

How much Flour does one Wheat unit produce?

One unit of Wheat produces one unit of Flour when processed in the Mill.

Is it better to buy Flour or produce it myself?

While you can buy Flour from Wandering Merchants, producing it yourself at your base is more cost-effective in the long run and allows for greater control over your resource supply.

What happens if my Pals’ Sanity gets too low?

Pals with very low Sanity will become depressed and unproductive. They may even refuse to work altogether and require special treatment to recover.

How do I know if my Wheat Plantation is working correctly?

If your Wheat Plantation is functioning properly, you should see Pals actively planting, watering, and harvesting Wheat. Check the output and ensure Wheat is being stored in your storage containers.

Why is my Mill not working even though I have Wheat?

Make sure you have assigned Pals with the Handiwork work suitability to the Mill. Also, ensure that the Wheat is in your player inventory, not just in a storage container. The Pal assigned to the mill will use the wheat from your inventory to make flour.

Can I make flour from anything other than Wheat?

Currently, Wheat is the only resource that can be used to produce flour in Palworld.

How can I improve my Pal’s work speed at the Mill?

You can improve your Pal’s work speed by providing them with better quality food, ensuring they have adequate rest and recreation, and investing in technologies that boost their overall efficiency. You can also level up their stats at the Statue of Power.
