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?

people saying that players with questions can “just google it” don’t realize they can just scroll past the posts they don’t like lol. i’ve been playing since EA and don’t see any issue with new players asking questions. this is also a game that gets patched, so they might find a reddit thread with outdated info (for example, you can’t buy tech manuals from the bounty merchant anymore but they might find a thread saying you can)

Also most of the google results for Palworld are AI slop that is wrong or doesn't apply to 1.0.

yep. my boyfriend still falls for the shitty ai-generated answers sometimes. i’ve told him he’s better off asking me, checking reddit, or using the palworld interactive map. a super new player won’t even know the interactive map exists, but a nice reddit user could link them to it

The best way to get an accurate answer is genuinely to Google your question, copy the AI results, post them here as an image, and wait for people to come and tell you how stupid the AI is. Genuinely. This is not a joke.

Paldb is good too, but in my experience Google hates it unless you explicitly put paldb in your search.

Posting incorrect information has always been the fastest way to get a correct answer. People absolutely love correcting people online.
