Palworld: Base storage options, explained

As you catch more Pals and gain their drops, you’ll need a lot of storage and the Wooden Chest becomes obsolete, but what options are there when it comes to base storage? What item offers the most storage space and how do you get it? Keep reading to find out.

Whether you’re looking to store crafted items, Schematics or the items dropped by Pals, you’re going to end up needing a lot of space. When you reach level two, you can craft the Wooden Chest, but you’re soon left feeling that you need more space. 

There are a lot of storage items in Palworld, from furniture pieces that double as storage, like the Locker, to dedicated storage pieces like the Refined Metal Chest. All of these items need to be unlocked via the Technology ladder, so be sure to gather up those Technology Points. 

Single unlock storage items

There are a few items that unlock on their own as individual items on the Technology ladder. You’ll have to wait a long time between unlocking the Metal Chest and its Refined counterpart, but the jump in storage space is definitely worth it.

Here’s the details for those items:

Storage item sets

Rather than waiting until level 39 in order to unlock the Refined Metal Chest, there are a multitude of storage sets that provide multiple storage items as part of one unlockable option on the Technology ladder.

This set can be unlocked at level 8 for one Technology Point. As the name suggests, these items wouldn’t look out of place in a fantasy Tavern, so if that’s the look you’re going for, these are well worth getting. 

Here’s what comes in this set and how many storage slots each has:

Antique Storage Set

Unlocked at level 14 using one Technology Point, the Antique Storage Set comes with a number of pieces to make your base look more cozy and homely.

As you begin to unlock the metal building materials for your base, you’ll want to begin adding metal accessories and items to go with that vibe. This set, which unlocks at level 26 using one Technology Point, offers an upgrade to a more industrial feeling base.

Storage Container Set

Currently the final upgrade in terms of storage sets, the Storage Container Set includes the biggest and probably most useful storage item in the game, the Large Container. It’s essentially a shipping container, similar to the ones found on the beaches of Mount Obsidian and boasts 40 slots, the same number of slots as the Refined Metal Chest, but it unlocks 7 levels earlier. 

To get the Storage Container Set, you’ll have to reach level 32 and spend one Technology Point.
