Improving Pal Sanity (SAN) recovery in Palworld maintains high mental stability among base workers, preventing debilitating stress ailments like depression, fractures, or eating disorders. This setting minimizes downtime from rest or slacking, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted automated resource production. Ultimately, high SAN values reduce operational friction by eliminating the frequent need to craft expensive medicines or replace incapacitated Pals.

SAN Reduction

Working at the base depletes a pal's sanity and eventually makes them sick. However, certain buildings and passives help reduce SAN depletion at the base.

Clinics

Health Care Infrastructures that reduce SAN depletion and prevent illnesses where a medicine pal is assigned.

Icon	Infrastructure	Technology Level	SAN Reduction	Sickness Reduction
	Clinic	42	10	10
	Ancient Clinic	73	40	40

Alpha Wave Generator

A special structure that basically reduces SAN depletion at the base. Having multiple generators does not stack the effect of one.

Icon	Name	Technology Level	SAN Reduction
	Alpha Wave Generator	41	10

Monitoring Stands

A pal management structure that assigns or restricts work for pals. Higher quality monitoring stands help reduce SAN depletion at the base. Also allows changing base pal work mode to reduce SAN at the cost of work speed.

Icon	Stand	Technology Level	SAN Reduction
	Monitoring Stand	7	0
	High Quality Monitoring Stand	28	5
	Ancient Monitoring Stand	71	15

Pal Passives

There are passive skills that can be taught to base pals from the Pal Surgery Table at Level 38. These passives help reduce SAN depletion on specific pals.

Icon	Passive	SAN Reduction	Surgery Cost
	Positive Thinker	10%	10,000 Gold
	Workaholic	15%	50,000 Gold
	Heart of the Immovable King	20%	Implant
	Hermit Sage	50%	Implant

Shroomer Noct

Shroomer Noct reduces SAN Depletion while working at the base from 10% to 15% fully condensed.

Players can find the pal around Sakurajima's Mushroom Wetlands or Feybreak's Coral Hill.

Food

Most cooked food already provides a base SAN recovery for hungry pals. One food in particular, French Fries, reduces the SAN depletion for a period of time.

SAN Recovery

Once a pal gets stressed while working at the base, they will start to slack off or even get depressed. SAN recovery buildings help pals take short breaks and continue working at the base.

Pal Beds

During the night, pals go to sleep to recover for the next day. A higher-quality bed helps pals recover faster and fully for the day ahead. Some pals are nocturnal or have passives like Insomnia or Vampiric and do not sleep at night. Nocturnal pals will take frequent breaks throughout the night to recover SAN.

Icon	Pal Bed	Technology Level	Recovery Rate
	Straw Pal Bed	3	20%
	Fluffy Pal Bed	24	40%
	Large Pal Bed	36	60%
	Pal Pod	56	80%
	Ancient Pal Bed	73	100%

Hot Springs

Provides SAN recovery for base pals who need to take a break. A higher-quality hot spring improves recovery rates, allowing pals to get right back to work.

Icon	Hot Spring	Technology Level	Recovery Rate
	Hot Spring	9	+0.5/s
	High Quality Hot Spring	31	+0.8/s
	Japanese-Style Hot Spring	64	+1/s
	Ancient Hot Spring	76	+2/s

Food

Most food cooked at a kitchen will have a SAN value. The values recover the pal's sanity. Having a steady farm to produce the ingredients will help improve the base sanity.

Common Food Choices

• Salad - Uses only lettuce and tomato while increasing work speed.
• Minestrone - The upgrade to the Salad at the cost of more ingredients.
• Honey - Does not require any cooking and can be obtained from Beegarde at a ranch.
