One of the defining features of the survival-crafting game Palworld is the fact that the busywork can be offloaded to the eponymous Pals — and Anubis, in particular, has great stats for this.

Using a Memory Reset Drug in Palworld could permanently debuff your character, and there's no fix available right now. Palworld developer Pocketpair is advising players to avoid using Memory Reset Medicine until further notice, while the glitch is investigated.
According to the devs, using the item might nerf your capture power, and make it "impossible to recover". There's no word on when the fix will be rolled out, but the devs also mention that a "correction" is in the works, so hopefully anymore affected won't have to abandon their current playthrough.
The announcement was spotted in the official Pocketpair Discord server by PCGamesN. The devs are yet to issue a follow-up saying that the bug has been fixed, so we can assume it's still in the game right now.
"Currently, using the item 'Memory Reset Drug' that resets the player's status may reduce the player's capture power and make it impossible to recover," says Pocketpair's community manager. "We are currently investigating this issue, so we apologize for the inconvenience, but please refrain from using it until the investigation/correction is complete."
Of course, a few teething issues like this are expected in the early access period. Palworld has only been available to play for a few days, launching on January 19 on PC and Xbox. This limited release hasn't held it back, however, as Palworld is currently the most-played game on Steam right now, and has been throughout the day. It even surpassed the playerbase of Counter-Strike 2, which typically has a permanent home at the top of the Steam charts.
As of the most recent announcement, Palworld has sold four million copies. This is just hours after announcing it had sold three million copies, and that all of the sudden success was leading to more server outages. Since this isn't slowing down anytime soon, we can expect more issues with the servers throughout the week, at least until the numbers reach their peak - whatever that ends up being.
Still, you should be able to play in single player without issue. In fact, if you're not affected by that catching debuff, you should probably start catching duplicate Pals, because they'll help you level up faster. Players have only just discovered this trick, so it's something to try out if the game is feeling a bit too grindy right now.

The runaway success of Palworld continues as the game has once again shattered its concurrent player count on Steam with millions of active users. The launch of the mash-up of survival and monster-catching games last week has seen overwhelming popularity, taking the internet by storm and seeing players flock to the game. The newest game from developer Pocket Pair would sell over 7 million copies on Steam within just five days of its launch, also releasing Day 1 on Xbox Game Pass. Now, the game has once again exceeded one of its own records.
Reviving Pals in is a necessary step in case you want to continue using your captured companions. Despite the constant comparisons between the game and the franchise, this is a survival title and, unlike Nintendo’s classic series, there is no specific item that automatically restores a fallen creature’s HP and has them ready on the go. You will have to follow a very thorough and somewhat unexplained set of steps to revive your Pals.
has several features that players can focus on, which their collected Pals can assist with using a variety of skills, including the unique Partner Skills that each Pal holds. Everything from mining to combat can be improved upon with these abilities, giving each type of Pal their own benefit. While some Partner Skills may be extra powerful or useful, others are positively cool.
A large turtle-like Pal called Digtoise is one of the many creatures you can find and catch in to assist you in different projects. This Ground-type Pal can farm important materials and has strong traits that make it incredibly useful for breeding. Those looking to complete their Paldeck will need to travel to the only place on their map where Digtoises spawn.
With having as large of a map as it does, it is important to know what mounts are fastest for travel. Other ways of moving across the map besides mounts would be by foot, grappling gun, and gliding, but each has drawbacks or niche situations where mounts are the better option. Players running and gliding lose stamina too fast to be efficient, whereas the grappling gun is best for climbing peaks too steep to walk up.
Electric Organs are an essential material in for crafting and supplying electricity to your base. Unfortunately, these items can be a hassle to obtain early-game because they require players to search for Electric Pals to hunt. You can either capture or defeat targets to obtain Electric Organs. This is especially great for those who do not want to eliminate a bunch of cute Electric Pals in the process. There is one other method to obtain Electric Organs, but this comes at a price.
Breeding is an important feature of , allowing you to hatch new team members from eggs produced by other creatures. The crossing of types in breeding allows for unique Pals to be created, but it can be challenging to set up this process without the right equipment. You'll need to reach a minimum level in the game if you want to engage with this system.

From the beginning of the game, Technology Points in are used for basic survival needs in its monster-hunter survival arc. They are a source of progression alongside your level, which helps with certain buildings and catching materials. Depending on the time and place of the game, these Technology Points can be very useful. Regardless, obtaining them quickly is very important to get stronger.
Making progress in can be engaging, but it's not possible to advance characters or Pals forever, as a level cap will eventually be reached after enough play. Since takes obvious inspiration from both and survival crafting games like and, the inclusion of a finite leveling system isn't especially surprising. There's a big difference between a level cap of 25 and 250, however, so it can be useful to know which end of the spectrum ultimately falls closer to, in order to have a good understanding of progression.
