Palworld Breeding Guide

Palworld breeding farm

What to build, which cake to use and how many to bring. Pick two parents below to see what they hatch and plan your cakes.

Cake planner

First parent

Second parent

Choose both parents to see what they hatch. The farm needs one male and one female.

Leave it at 100% if any egg of this pal will do. If you want specific passive skills, get the chance per egg from the passive inheritance calculator.

Cakes to bring

For 1 egg

1 Cake

or 1 Vegetable Cake, since each lays two eggs at once.

One Cake gives one egg. A Vegetable Cake lays two eggs at once, so it halves the cakes you need.

How a breeding session works

  1. Assign two parents

    Put one male and one female pal to work at the Breeding Farm.

  2. Stock the chest with Cake

    Place Cake in the farm's chest. The farm uses it to breed.

  3. Collect the eggs

    The farm produces eggs. Every egg is the child of the two assigned pals.

  4. Incubate

    Place an egg in an incubator. It hatches after some time.
