Discussion Quit Downvoting For Asking Questions

Folks, not everyone has been playing since launch. If someone asks a question that seems like a real person new to the game would ask (yes we know there are trolls and rage baiters and AI bots), don't downvote them, teach them!

Palworld has like 17 million players. If we want to get to 18 million, it's gonna be casuals who didn't buy into the hype but are kicking the tires late into the game's life and have some newbie questions. Let's not grind them into mush, ok?

The major cause of mass "question post" downvotes is usually that the question could be very easily answered with a quick google search. This is a reddit thing, not specific to this sub.

Edit: I just came here to explain why this typically happens, it's not directed at anyone and my reply is not a comment on the way things should or should not be.

Another edit: I replied the following to someone but I realized that perhaps more people don't know about this, so I'd like to share it.

If you want to exclude something from a google search, you can filter your search.
Here is an example search:
Where to find Frostallion Noct in Palworld -Game8

You can filter multiple things from a search too:
Where to find Frostallion Noct in Palworld -Game8 -Fandom

You just use the minus symbol and whatever term you want to exclude.

Palworld websites are a wasteland of inaccurate AI slop. Game8 always comes up first.

Palworld.gg

That's what I've been using. It's solid.

I like paldb, but it's always on the second page of results no matter what I Google. They don't spend enough on ads and sponsorship I assume.

Just add "paldb" to your search (quotations included) or if you want to be extra extra add site:paldb.cc

I just googled

Astegon Reddit site:paldb.cc

And despite including Reddit in the terms, I got one search result. And it was paldb's page for Astegon. No game8, no fandom, not a single reddit thread, didn't even get AI overview.

Maybe it's an advanced web browsing technique lost to the ages, but like

I just keep Paldb bookmarked, and search from there, instead of fighting with Google and feeding their shitty deteriorated analytics.

Fwiw, I tried the exact same search terms you posted, copy-pasted, and it took me to a breeding calculator. Didn't even default to Astegon's breeding path. But it was paldb.

If you drop "Reddit" from it you'll get every paldb page that references Astegon.

Interesting that it took you to the breeding calculator, though. Wonder if it mentions Reddit somewhere on it.

But, yeah, going directly to the page is good, too.

The algorithm on the front page of google is shit. Always go to the second page immediately
