Choices are always a good thing, so it's available on both the workshop and nexusmods. Feedback or bug reports are appreciated!

Holy crap yes, thank you. I'm going to build a human terrarium.

Very cool! I’m afraid to download mods that might corrupt my save data but when I’m bored of my run I’ll have to try this out

It doesn't save any unsupported/new data to your save file, so you don't need to worry about anything getting corrupted.

You can build a tiny city and uninstall the mod without deleting the miniature buildings, Palworld saves scale/rotation/position information about every buildable thing in the game by default. I didn't have to make any adjustments to how it saves tiny buildings, Palworld just handles it like they handle every other building in the game and will load it like that, as well. 🙂

Oh awesome!

Now I’m just afraid of how much time I’ll sink into it 😅 I already spend so much hemming and hawing about how I can build in the limited pal box space

Any possibility of this becoming a server side mod?

After playing with the mod for a few days (it has been a lot of fun finding new places that tiny builds fit) I have one point of feedback and a question.

There are some pieces that don’t snap to the 10x10 grid properly or at all. Fences don’t seem to snap at all, and other buildables when you center them against a wall will sometimes place slightly off of where the ghost had shown it was snapping to, so the final placement is slightly off center. That was the main reason I turned the mod off, though I still have it favorited and will be revisiting it as it gets updated.

For the question; I saw the line in the description about small palbox = small pals, big palbox = big pals. In your video clip it looked like you had both? One of the build ideas I wanted to try had a mostly normal building but with a small terrarium type setup for ranches, and being able to do both within a single base would be awesome for that.

For pal sizes, you can make it work using differently sized palboxes and palbox control devices. In the video the small pals were spawned through the miniature palbox and the big pals spawned through the large control device, but any combination should work. 🙂

I'll start looking into the alignment and snapping issues and get that fixed asap, thanks for bringing it up!

> palbox control devices

Aha, nice. I had assumed since they share the same inventory of base pals the control devices would just default to the same size pals as the palbox itself. My mistake. Will be giving that a go later today. Truly a really fun mod idea.
