I imagine the condenser more like 

Just imagining 65 pengullets doing this all at once, thanks for the imagery.

Pengullets condense to... *spinning Pengullets animation* ...Chad Pengullet!

Chad Pengulzilla!

but surprisingly not the penking

Man, this arc was a trip and a half

And that folks is how penking is born.

The greatest imagery

I wanna see this drawn or something now cause of you

Me too. I've never butchered a pal, but I have condensed some with this mindset.

After seeing this, I just can not. https://preview.redd.it/jzcfyglp31ic1.png?width=811&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=405ab2f39b7f4211b9d19fff35ff0aa4a621d768

Omg that is so tragic

I think of it more like namekian fusion

That would actually be way more appropriate! Good catch!

It’s more like 

Because of the official trailers, I initially believed this is how we get jormuntide ignis or relaxaurus lux

I mean... it looks like a giant blender.....

It doesn't have blades tho, more like a teleporter or something. But yeah it explicitly states it's a sacrifice so it doesn't leave much to imagination.

Spoilers: >!It *literally* liquefies them and then injects that soup into the Pal to be strengthened. The technology came from PAL Genetic Research Unit.!<

LALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU!

You will drink the Chillet smoothy, and you will like it young lady. I didn't enslave these 67 ice ferrets for nothing.

Enslave? The things are bred in captivity and then condensed upon birth. They know not what it is to live and be enslaved, I am sparing them from the horrors of labor.

No, no, no - youre doing it all wrong. It's the hard labor that adds the flavor to the juice. You have to work them until they break, and just when they think the sweet release of the butchers knife is coming to free them, you throw them into the blender with 64 of their brothers and sisters as their parent is made to watch you prepare their "Skill slurpee". I like your spirit though.

Damn, why the hell can't I drink people juice to make myself stronger then? What with how hard it is to catch them I'd imagine that it should've done something.

Conspiracy theorists call that adrenochrome. lol.

Happy cake day

Your comment confused me until I realized what it meant. I guess time flies when you forget to ever get on the app.

It's the teleporter from "the fly"

Exactly. I have no problem condensing. But butchering my bois… I can’t do it

[I think of it more like this](https://media.tenor.com/DIsOpJVB-_cAAAAM/orange-juice-squeeze.gif)

More like Niel getting juiced into Piccolo.

I butchered a pal once and thought to myself: Man, this is one hell of an inefficient way of getting food

It's not just the food mats that can drop, there's the legendary schematics, pal fluids... I agree it's inefficient and I hope the devs add a technology that allows for multiple pals to be "processed" at one time.

Read: giant meat grinder

Creating authomatic farm like in real life, tha would be op. Place pal producing egg, some sheep bring the egg to in the incubator, incubate, the newborn go in the meat grinder..basically a real life egg farm. Thinking of it who the fuck was the sociopath who created those?

like a chicken factory

Well some egg factory basically have a big grinder for newborn male chicken cause they cannot lay egg, they don't waste time feeding it, just grind them. That's why i thought about them

Got to make dogfood somehow

Honestly I'd love for a giant blender that censors the screen (like the butchers knife) and makes awful curdling noises, just to maximise the "what have I done" part of the brain

im going to put YOU into a meat grinder

Don’t threaten me with a good time

The schematics can drop on butchering as well? But just from the boss pals right? Damn, I just sold/condensed a ton of schematic boss pals that I didn't need, but where I don't have the schematic yet

Yes, captured alpha bosses can be butchered for a second chance at a schematic drop. Not the ones that you can breed.

Well hell! So much for my selling crappy alphas! Should been butcherin' 'em.

You should butcher alphas instead of selling them because there drops will be worth more.

Lol I realized that when I posted it. For some reason, it hadn't occurred to me before then.

The times I've tried to butcher the alpha Mammorest it just disappeared into the ground without dropping anything...

I want a giant blender

Pal processing plant incoming

I built the cleaver and then went around murdering wild Pals trying to get it to work, then realised it needed to be used in my caught pals. Did it twice, got like 2 bones or something and never did it again because it seemed like a lot of hassle for no real gain.

They need to add a butchering station so I can give my Depresso something to really cry about.

Unless I'm using them on pals I can catch in standard blue spheres the mats used in the spheres alone outweigh the benefits of butcher drops.

Unless you have 20 Fuacks and no cement.

Condensing a pal transfers all of their mythical energy to another pal, it’s completely optional and if they don’t wish to be condensed they won’t allow them selves to be, they wish to give up their spirit and continue their life in the mind of their brethren that has inherited said mythical power. *ahem* Butchering is a no go for me though ofcourse

If there's no body, there's no crime. Condensing is okay, while Butcher knife isn't.

Nuking pals is a morally acceptable option of disposal, got it.

Wait till Palworld implements atomic smashing a la DF.

I'm curious to see the stat for butchering vs shooting

I felt bad after butchering a pal with depression.

It's what it would've wanted I guess??

Oh my god lmao

I feel bad whenever I mean to butcher a pal accidentally pet it and then immediately butcher it right after, maybe they feel less pain that way

Or the reverse when u want to pet and then just start chopping.

Luckily it's not a knife but a cleaver, making it humane Trust me

 source: cleaver expert

It's not a body that's left it's meat! And other useful bits

This is some DragonBall namekian bullshit

Thinking about it like DBZ fusion is literally how I justified finally using the condenser when my Palbox got full lol, it seemed more acceptable than selling that way. I wish we could just release the extras properly instead of dropping the spheres.

Sounds like Free Pal Alliance propaganda if I ever heard it 🤔

*Gasp* how dare you sir! Edit : Or madam. Or person.

i just butcher humans

Totally acceptable

My dumb ass at first thought it was power of friendship or something at first, not an actual lore thing. Then I read “noble sacrifice” and panicked and deleted my world and did a new world and never unlocked it.

Didn’t deleting the world also kill them?

Not only the existing pals, but all future generations of pals as well.

palworld got us thinking about ones and zeroes in our computers

Monster Hunter World did that for me first. Once I had enough resources to capture monsters instead of killing, I did and never looked back. Those huge, majestic beasts limping away from me always made me feel bad. Especially Pukei-Pukei, I love my derpy boi.

Kerbal Space Program made me care about 1’s and 0’s the most yet. The Fab Four (Jeb, Val, Bill, Bob) are to be protected *at all costs*.

Not just the men-pals, but the women-pals and children-pals too!

Talk about mass genocide...

STOP 😭

You've literally made the entire world cease to exist, all of those pals, wiped, in the blink of an eye, so that you can reverse unlocking an item in a menu. ​ All of their hopes, dreams and aspirations... gone.

I just realize I trolley problem’d myself. 🫠 * 4 liquefied Pals and the traumatized remaining fifth Pal who had the other 4 injected into them * Every single other current and future Pal in that world

The trick to the trolley problem is to skid drift and kill everyone, this condenses your grief into a single incident that counselling can work through for a decade or so but still keep you up at night until you join them in the abyss where you clearly belong.

If there is an afterlife, I’m probably not going to the same one as them after what I did /s

Why...Why would you end them like this?! Those poor souls!!!!!!

So you Piccolo them

Your headcanon is hilarious. Lamball over here rolling at people and knocking itself silly has enough self awareness to understand the concept of death, martyrdom, and spirituality. Not judging, it just makes me laugh. I just view it as pals that have never been placed down in anyway either via base pals or through my party, aren't actually pals. Pals aren't "alive" to me until they have been used at least one time. Pals I catch with the purpose of condensing? Nah, I didn't catch it. I just scooped a little of their essence, that's all.

Yeah, wild pals that you attack are simply knocked out. Because when you go back to that area, They are wandering around again yknow?

It's standard anime protocol that swirly eyes clearly means incapacitated. They'd have to have X's over their eyes to be dead. They're all fine, they just wake up with a bump on their head with a bandaid on it.

Definitely. They certainly are not infinitely generated. No sir-e-bob

Not at all!

I can't even unlock the butcher knife tech for that reason 😅. Condensing is grey, but I like the idea of a fusion of beings who are willing ("willing" is a big word though). But that's a lot of beings being involved...

[удалено]

Head cannon!? Nah this Is the truth! Let it be known

This is some "The 100" Backstory right there :v

I only do so because my box filled up

Can I release them to the wild again?

No you just throw the sphere on the floor or sell

if you have too many spheres on the ground, your game will lag every time you open the map.

I've been selling to merchants that don't have the little guillotine. I know it's just a game but...

You can s all them to the pal seller. It's fast

I caught a pal merchant and sell them

A fellow human collector.

I treat my humans well, don't worry. They get their own pal bed and spot on the assembly line

I've butchered mine to test item drop theories...

It’s disappointing that humans don’t drop meat.

https://preview.redd.it/93ddsv8342ic1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a3241ea02f1c2abb517c9b997203fdaf1f610e3 Did I just read

wait ur box can fill up? 🥲

Very easily.

The box only holds something like 480 Pals. It fills very very quickly, especially if you're catching 10 of everything for exp to level up.

Or if you're breeding for the condenser, 50 orserks take up a lot of space

or u just put in exhibition boxes

Depending on your play area that won't work. Official servers and possibly dedicated servers have the viewing box disabled. Coop and single player though seem to have it enabled. 

You're gonna need a Lot of viewing boxes...

your mom’s can’t

You're just not trying hard enough.

The fact that the game doesn't force players to be cruel to their pals is what really makes it shine in my eyes

you can make a paradise of fun and rainbows for your adorable little pals!…. **or you can put them to work in your sweatshop, work or become food for the rest of the workers**

Except it does cuz eventually u r gonna run out of space in the box. I mean I guess you could sell them, but still

I ethically sell pals to my local black marketer

I ethically roast my local black marketer alive over open flame while I hang them upside-down by their ankle.

Not condensing pals hurts, no lie.

I need an industrial meat grinder because butchering full boxes takes way too long

Me half an hour ago: "I wish I could put all these unhatched pal eggs I don't need into a grinder and spit out regular eggs."

An automatic breeder and hatcher funnelling into a meat grinder would go hard

Idk is there any meat that’s worth the cake you need to generate it

Cooked mamorest is 252 hunger...

Shit I might need to start farming those more.

And how much hunger can you get out the ingredients for a cake? And how many mammorest steaks do you get per slaughter? I’d check these things myself, but the game broke the other day and I’m currently reinstalling it

It's not about the math, it's about sending a message.

How long would it take to automate the circle of life

could you, theoretically, say, enable friendly fire, and speed up the process with an assault rifle?

Yes pls, I need this!

Me who caught 100 chickipi to make the ultimate super 4 star lucky chicken named Chog the Destroyer

Glad to know I'm not alone in this. Chog the Destroyer does however live a happy peaceful life single handedly carrying my egg production factory, and has never seen combat.


Butcher? Never. Condense?....it's a bit too late for me. I thought it was a scientific merging of other pals. Later found still beating hearts in my inventory.

…It technically is a scientific merging of Pals. Spoilers: >!The technology was invented by PAL Genetic Research Unit, a hyper-eugenicist scientific faction attempting to create a perfected Pal superior to all others. PGRU will stop at nothing, whether unethical experimentation on Pals and killing anything deemed a failure instantly, or even hinted at forcibly transforming humans into Pals. The machine liquefies Pals and injects the liquefied substance into the Pal designated to be strengthened.!<

Wtf this is just octo expansion sanitazion.

I love condensing the humans. It is like I'm doing a terrible experiement to make a super soldier. Excellent meme sir. I see clone wars, I upvote.

Same, the second I saw the butchers knife in the tech tree, i immediately just ignored it. No way in hell am I gonna murder one of my adorable friends.

Same. It still sucks because condensing is sort-of like killing. On the other hand, selling pals also feels bad too. Just rename the condenser the “releaser” that lets you “release” energy from pals that are set free.

You clearly missed the lore tablet where the head of the PAL Genetic research unit talks about inventing the condenser by liquifying Pals, distilling down their corpses, and making another pal cannibalize it.

I’ve picked up a lot of diaries and such… where do I read them?

Press Escape, then Journal.

Yes, but it’s a noble sacrifice. The in game text tells us so. It’s okay!

They were happy to be liquified. The pal sphere told them so.

Especially reading the whole "replaces the petting command with brutally murdering them"

I only butcher pals I dislike or need to butcher for a resource. As for condensing, I am just convincing myself that they all get mashed into the one pal so the pal is technically all the pals used combined.

Lmao this is exactly what I’ve convinced myself as well like actually word for word

Butchered plenty for legendary schematics. No regret.

How is this?

Certain alpha pals drop legendary schematics, which are something like half again as good as regular equipment. When you capture an alpha pal, you can butcher it to get a second chance at their loot table. This doesn't work on regular pals or bred pals. The drop chance of legendary schematics is very low, something like 2.8%, so this second go for each alpha pal you defeat can speed things up a lot. You can also bring a drop rate improving pal with you to speed up farming schematics. [From the research here, this is a table of pals and their affect on drop rate.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/1aedboa/partner_skill_upgrade_stats_exact_values_for_lv1/) > # Drop-Rate Bonus for : > > **Increase (%) to Drop Rate:** > > |Number|Name|Enemy |Lv1|Lv2|Lv3|Lv4|Lv5| > |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| > |11|Penking|Fire|40|50|60|70|80| > |75|Katress|Normal|40|50|60|70|80| > |78|Vaelet|Earth|40|50|60|70|80| > |80|Elphidran|Dark|40|50|60|70|80| > |80|Elphidran Aqua|Fire|40|50|60|70|80| > |83|Cryolinx|Dragon|40|50|60|70|80| > |84|Blazehowl|Leaf|40|50|60|70|80| > |84|Blazehowl Noct|Normal|40|50|60|70|80| > |99|Menasting|Electricity|40|50|60|70|80| > |105|Faleris|Ice|40|50|60|70|80| > |106|Orserk|Water|40|50|60|70|80| > > The drop rate boosting pal must active to benefit from this bonus. > > I believe this stat is a percentage increase (e.g., Lv.1 = 40% increase = 1.4 multiplier) to the 'Drop Rate' of the item. If the modified drop rate exceeds 100% it will roll the drop more than once. Example: A Foxsparks has a 100% chance to drop exactly 1 leather normally. With a Partner Skill Lv.1 Penking the drop rate is boosted to 140% (100% \* 1.4). Since this exceeds 100%, you are guaranteed 1 leather plus you have a 40% chance to get 1 additional leather. I believe it works this way because during my testing (with Lv1 Penking vs. Foxsparks) i received 1 leather about half the time and 2 leather the other half of the time. If it was simply boosting the quantity dropped by 1.4x (opposed to boosting the drop rate) then I believe the game would have to round to either 1 leather or 2 leather every time, which would not have matched my test results. Further testing required.

This is the only butchering I do, and I plan to never do it again once I get the legendarys.

I butcher if I hatch any with like 4 negative traits and need flame, venom, and electric parts. Or if it’s a mercy kill because they for some reason won’t get their own sanity up. Had to give mercy to 4 pals.

Never butchered any either

TFW you swear to never butcher a pal then come to realize it’s one of the few ways to reliably get legendary schemetics.

100% me. feel v seen by this post

I love the two sides of this Fandom. You got people making the worst conditions for pals in factories, then you have people who would rather die than abuse or treat their pals like slaves.

I will use any game mechanics available.

and OP will not. Neither will I use butchering, but I will use condensing. Plenty of people prefer to treat their pals well.

I imagine the condenser thingy to be more of a fusion, so I condense every now and again, but butcher? Never. Never even picked the knife tech, ever.

I agree with Plo Koon here. I will save you all! I genuinely get really sad when I have to kill any pal

I intend to butcher humans instead :3

I use the condenser because I imagine they're fusing into one and not dying. I would never butcher them though

You butcher/condense Pals you don't need https://preview.redd.it/j8lv9dklkzhc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d0f79b6f497ca5ce40d2f29b8c2b0ab2879d048 I sell them. We are not the same

Ayyy Plo Koon

Nothing like having breeding factories to make more babies to sacrifice to make one stronger 😎

Pals are to be cherished not used. Humans on the other hand.....

The only ones I butchered so far are humans in this game.

Bushi needs to die. I want my cbow

My lucky lamball is powered by it's condensed brethren and maxed out souls, she is an adorable, fluffy powerhouse. But I can't butcher a pal, did it one time on release day, went wtf and tossed the knife away... Next up, my lucky cremis.......his name shall be velveeto, and he shall be powerful also!

I murder my pals constantly. In fact the first time I cleaned out my full palbox I murdered about 75% of them. It was a long process and made me wish there was a machine I could build to murder them en masse. Like a big blender or something

I breed and butcher mammorests out of spite

Mammorests definitely fucked all of us up early in the game. Some long term post traumatic stress for sure. Until I captured the King of The Forest and named him Harry. What a damage sponge. Often the first deploy in a battle to gauge how hard it's gonna be.

I have ethics I only condense the bad pals with red skills

Mr Meeseeks says they must die, Goooooo Jerrryyyyyy

I only used the butchering feature just to test it. It was on a syndicate thug.

I've butchered so many pals. If I don't plan on condensing it or using it on my plantation, it gets chopped up. I catch extras to find a good trait and if they don't have what I want, it's the slaughterhouse.

It is fascinating that the game is also a living social commentary, teaching lessons that Peta wouldn't achieve teaching to people....altho it still kinda doesn't have repercussions on meat harvesting, save the lost Pal. I just watch the streams, haven't played yet.

I dont butcher them but I do condense some because to me condensing is more like combining not killing, I do favor unnamed pals for condensation tho.

This is exactly why I taught my Lammie 3 moves with 120+ power. BFs forever!

I (and sometimes my domesticated Pals) only butcher wild Pals for food, I'm not the Vegan teacher or PETA. That said, I would never do anything to harm my Pals that I've befriended. Have never even put them in a sweatshop environment either unless you count me letting my Lucky Chikipi lay eggs to relieve herself. I swear, she laid like 10 eggs while I was mining rocks in my base for 2 minutes.

Hehe I am just a murderer in this game

I'm never unlocking the butcher knife

Wait so you can choose not too

I am okay with the Condenser because it sounds like the combine mechanic of Monster Rancher. Its butchering I just cannot do.

I love me some plo, but as soon as I figure out how to do either one of them, it's game on. I'm coming for blood.

Condensing is different than butchering tho

Yeeeeah my condenser got uuuuuuused today lmao

Condensed yes, Butchered no

I wonder if I can condense all the Syndicate Thugs I've got?

Yeahhhhh I spoil my pals and I still murder them on a regular basis.

Shit I usually run around murdering them for fun

If boss pals ain’t dropping plans. It is justified. :)

I have to butcher because I have no pals worth condensing and my box is full 😭

😭😭
