Palworld Monitoring Stand: How to Use It (Lab, Transport, Locks)

Unlock the Monitoring Stand early (Technology level 7). High Quality Monitoring Stand is level 28. Ancient Monitoring Stand is level 71. Use them to assign or forbid work types per Pal instead of hoping the default priority chart cooperates.

Think of the stand as a per-Pal job filter. The base-wide priority chart still decides among allowed jobs, but the stand stops miners from abandoning ore for Handiwork or ranch Pals from wandering into the crusher. Fixed assignment pins one Pal to one bench until you release them.

Monitoring Stand

Structures

Command your Pals to work on various things inside a base. You can allow or prohibit individual kinds of work.

High Quality Monitoring Stand

Structures

A refined monitoring station with improved materials and structure. In addition to being able to issue work orders, the system also lowers the SAN cost for Pals working at the base. Working conditions are slightly improved, making Pals less likely to become dissatisfied.

Pal Labor Research Lab

Structures

A facility for conducting research on the various tasks of Pals. By assigning tasks to Pals in this facility, research progresses, granting various benefits.

What the stand actually does

• Open the stand UI and pick a Pal on the base.
• Enable only the jobs you want that Pal to perform.
• Fixed-assign a Pal to a workstation (Lab, crusher, assembly line) when auto-pathing keeps walking away.
• If a Pal is sleeping, eating, or on a break, wait and assign again.

Pal Labor Research Lab (why research gets abandoned)

The Lab is not its own row on the work priority chart. Research uses the suitability of the active subject (Handiwork research needs Handiwork Pals, and so on). Those Pals still see every normal job of that type, so busy bases look like pals abandon research or research lowest priority.

• At the Monitoring Stand, turn off every suitability except the one you are researching.
• Fixed-assign the researcher to the Lab so Assigned Workstation keeps them there.
• Match suitability level to the research tier. Greyed-out Pals lack the required level.
• Or park a quiet research base with almost no competing stations.

Transport locks

Transport sits near the bottom of the default work priority list. Finished goods pile up on benches when nobody is allowed to haul. Dedicated transporters need every high-priority job disabled on the Monitoring Stand, plus Allow Transport by Pals enabled on each crafting station that should output to chests.

• General Transport sits near the bottom of the priority list.
• Disable Handiwork, Mining, and other high jobs on dedicated haulers.
• Also enable Allow Transport by Pals on crafting stations, or finished goods never leave the bench.
• Place filtered chests between production and consumption so haul paths stay short.
• Killamari-line Pals with Transport 2 move stacks faster once you unlock them.

When to upgrade stand tier

The basic Monitoring Stand covers early locks. High Quality adds convenience on larger bases with fifteen or more workers. Ancient Monitoring Stand is for endgame factories where you micro-manage multiple assembly lines. If research still fails on the basic stand, the problem is usually competing jobs, not stand tier.
