    That is an absolutely insane changelog that includes nearly everything I wanted changed or fixed in the game, to the point that I’m actually kind of upset how many desperately needed quality-of-life fixes they held back for 1.0.

    Stuff like searching the Pal boxes or Palpedia is something that should have been added the instant it was ready. Pal management was a pain in Early Access due to lacking such a basic feature.

      Search definitely should have been there once it was good to go, but I didn’t mind the new sorting options from the last time I played about 6 months ago. Like favoriting pals with different tiers, sorting by type/favorites.

      I’m excited for the 47 new pals, and the sky islands.

        Yeah, boxes weren’t too bad with the filters (at least until late game when you had several hundred Pals - and 1.0 reducing the number of each Pal you need to catch for maximum experience from 12 down to 5 should go a long way towards fixing that box bloat), but the Palpedia was nearly unusable without search. You had to manually go down the entire list to know if you’d seen or caught a Pal before or wanted to check where it spawns.

          Do you not regularly chuck your spares in the blender condenser? I don’t think I’ve more than half filled my palbox.

            I play co-op, and multiplayer has the unfortunate quirk that the game lets you pull base Pals you don’t own into your own Palbox and doesn’t show any indication of who the original owner was afterwards. Combine that with raid bosses, where you’re hurriedly swapping out Pals with fresh ones en masse as the boss defeats them, and I have no idea who owns half my Palbox. So I avoided condensing anything that wasn’t fresh out of the incubator.

              There’s a personal pal storage that you can unlock relatively early on. It’s like a separate, disconnected palbox that still holds a shitload of pals. In fact I think it holds more than the regular palbox.

              Ah, my friends and I have just been treating almost all pals as communal, so we’ve been blending everything we can get our hands on and passing around spares to use as materials - that then means we also have more powerful pals for the expeditions and raid bosses on top of generally keeping our boxes relatively clear.
