Methodology
PalSphereis a Palworld reference built from shipping client data tables, then explained in player language. This page is the contract: where numbers come from, what we enrich, what we refuse to invent, and how you can reproduce or challenge a claim.
Why this exists
Palworld spreadsheets and wiki tables go stale every patch. We rebuild catalogs from the client so breeding, work suitability, skills, and recipes stay aligned with the build players actually run. Guides and Sphere Signals sit on top of that extract — they explain systems, they do not replace the tables.
Extraction
Species, items, skills, breeding overrides, work priorities, and related tables are exported from shipping client data (data tables and localization). We record an extract stamp()for game version1.0.3fromPalworld client data tables. Private filesystem paths, raw pak dumps, and binary assets stay off the public site.
When Pocketpair ships a content update, we re-run the extract pipeline, diff the public JSON under/data/v1/, and only then refresh guides that depend on changed values (for example work-task priority or breeding overrides).
Normalization
Codename keys become stable slugs and display names. Duplicate tribe / variant rows are folded into playable species cards so tools do not double-count the same Pal. Recipe materials and skill catalogs are joined to item and Pal ids so calculators and guides can deep-link without guessing names from UI screenshots.
Enrichment
Map pins, partner skill text, ranch drop notes, and similar layers may combine multiple verified extracts. Editorial Sphere Signals explain those systems in player language and link into live tools (PalDex, breeding pathways, work rankings). Rankings always state their model — for worker guides that means work-task priority order, partner-skill base buffs, nocturnal coverage, and obtainability, not a vibes tier list.
What we do not invent
- Hidden drop rates we have not measured or extracted.
- Breeding outcomes that contradict the published override tables.
- Patch notes copied from unofficial social posts without a verify pass.
- Affiliate claims that a host or mod is “best” without criteria.
Reproducibility
Each rebuild stampspublic datawith a revision and game version. Allowlisted JSON/CSV dumps under/data/v1/use stable ids (codename, id, slug). Icon binaries, raw dumps, Steam news text, and guide copy are not part of the machine-readable contract — but every guide that cites a number should deep-link to the living Pal, item, or skill page that carries the extract.
Corrections
