How To Fix Pal That Can't Be Assigned

Check If Structure Meets Work Suitability Of The Pal

First of all, check if the structure matches Pals' work suitability. Pal will not work if there is no building that matches with work suitability. It is the most important category, so make sure to check.

Some Ores Can't Be Mined Depending On Suitability Level

Depending on the Mining suitability level Ores you can mine are different. Pals with Mining Suitability level above 3 can mine every type of Ores.

Check If Pal's Sanity Is Not Low

If Pal's Sanity decreases to a certain point,they will start taking breaks and are more prone to injuries and sickness. This will reduce the assigned rate so make sure to check Pal's Sanity regularly and try to maintain high Sanity.

Utilise Pal Bed And Hotspring To Recover Sanity

Building Hotspring and Pal Bed in the base to recover Sanity automatically. If you're building a base, these should be a priority.

Build A Base Which Pals Can Move Around Smoothly

Location with a big bump or rough ground can affect Pals's work efficiency. Pals dropping or getting stuck might cause Pals, not workings, so check frequently if the base is built appropriately.

Directly Assisgn Pals

Pals with multiple work suitabilities might not do the work you want. In that case, pick up the Pal and throw them at the intended workplace to assign them there.

Each Work Has A Different Priority Level

Priority	Work
1	KindlingGenerate
2	GatheringTransporting (Food)
3	PlantingWateringMedicine Production
4	Handiwork
5	Farming
6	Mining (Natural)Gathering (Natural)
7	Mining (Stone Pit)Gathering (Logging Site)
8	Transportation (Material)
9	Cooling

Each workstation has a different priority, and Pals with multiple work suitability will do tasks with this priority If there is high priority work in the base work with low priority will be left, so you will have to work around it.

Restart Game

The reason causing Pals to not assign might be a game glitch. Going back to the title of restarting the game might fix the problem.

How To Assign

Throw Pal To Manually Assign

Throwing Pal to structure (V key, △ button or Y button ) will manually assign work. Even if you're manually assigning the work, the Pal will need appropriate work Suitability, so be careful.

Check For Popup After Assigning

Whether you succeeded or failed in assigning Pal to work can be checked from the message that pops on the left side of the screen after throwing the Pal to structure. If this message does not show up, there is a chance Pal is not properly assigned so try again.

Build Monitoring Stand

Although you can assign Pals manually by picking them up and throwing them in specific areas you want them to work, you can use the Monitoring Stand to control your Pals' tasks. Using this facility can increase work efficiency.

Changing Work Mode

Use the Monitoring Stand to control Pals' work efficiency. Setting it to Super Hard Work boosts efficiency but risks Pals' health so only use it if you need to.

Work Mode Settings

Work mode settings have various effects allowing you to change the level of productivity and costs.

You Can Also Set Work Preference On Individual Pals

You can now control specific tasks for base Pals at the Monitoring Stand with the Set Work Preference option. Each Pal's suitability for tasks is indicated by a green check or red cross. You can manage these task permissions by simply clicking on them. This is crucial for assigning Pals to specific tasks.

Place Pals With Appropriate Work Suitability

Check required work suitability for each workstation and place appropriate Pals. If the work suitability matches .

What Is Assigning?

Work At One Of The Structure

Assign is to let Pals do specific work in the base. Assigned Pals will be automatically working on work which follows their work suitability. Once you create a base, assign Pals to work.

Multiple Pals Can Be Assigned Together

When crafting items or other, if there are multiple Pals with appropriate work suitability then multiple of them will start working on it together. More Pals working together will shorten work time so utilize it.
