You don't need another slot. You can already do this with the Wardrobe (don't remember the exact name, but it is a tech unlocked with ancient tech points). With it you can change your appearance (skin color, hair, hair color, etc) or give your equipment the appearance of another item. Like one of the hats, go to Wardrobe and give your helmet slot the appearance of the hat. You keep the stats of the original helmet but gain the appearance of the other item. Can change armor, helmet and glider appearances.

No, no passives. But looking at it on the website instead of phone...

For most pals, when you check the Alpha Pal checkbox you can see that it makes Health +20%. But for Green Slime checking the Alpha Pal checkbox makes base Health, Attack AND Defense more than double in value. So either it's a bug with the calculator or the Terraria pals operate differently as Alphas.

It must not have updated after I changed the selection. Using it on the phone. They are showing around 100k now.

EDIT - Make a slime an Alpha and it gets over 300k.

Per that Paldb.cc calculator, all other factors being equal the slimes have higher EP than anything else I checked.

I recommend Better Base Building. It is PalSchema instead of a Pak so is less subject to break due to game patches. It features a lot more than just base radius (expedition and other station resizes, cooling changes, and a few other things) and it is all modular so you pick which parts you want and sometimes the amount (like base radius has like 5 options from 1 to 3).

Besides the cost, gender reassignment isn't a single surgery. It is a process that takes months of various therapies (estrogen or testosterone) before the actual surgery (or surgeries as the case may be) take place. So it is not possible to drop your kid off as a boy and pick up a girl (unless you pick up the wrong kid) because that just isn't how gender reassignment works.

There is a mod called Palbox Page Lock on Nexus (sorry don't have the link right now) which should solve your problem. It lets you lock a page in the Palbox and pals on that page won't be involved in sorts and are excluded from Expeditions. It will even put pals back on a locked page if they are in a party preset. So I have my party pals and my egg pickup pals on one locked page and when swapping the two presets those pals go back to the locked page. I can sort my Palbox all I want.

Yeah, so did you totally miss the part where I said I already did this and haven't received a response in the stated timeframe. Calling the numbers are pointless because every time I attempt to call (multiple times per day, different times of day), I just get "Due to extremely high call volume..." and the systems hangs up.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

In response to your notes:

1. PalInsight adds a search bar to Palbox, Condenser and other similar things. It will also let you search by text in partner skill, passives, and a few other things.
2. I haven't seen a mod that adds more favorites unfortunately.
3. PalInsight fixes the ability to get details (F) from Condenser and other similar panels.
4. Unfortunately, I don't know that such functionality is moddable, but if you are open to using PalInsight it might ease the pain of using the Condenser a bit making this ask less necessary.
5. I agree with this also, but again don't see this being possible. However, another post of mine in this thread calls out Palbox Page Lock mod. If you put pals on a page then lock that page then pals on locked pages are automatically excluded from expedition. So could be used to achieve what you want here.
6. I agree with this ask, but since it doesn't exist, if you use PalInsight, then in the Condenser you can just type a partial name of the pal in the search box and it will only show matching pals. Effectively does what you asked for this.
7. Agree, but again I don't see major interface changes like this happening. I don't have a recommended workaround for this one unfortunately.

Please see my other reply in this thread. Palbox Page Lock... if you put your party presets on a page and lock it then they are automatically excluded from Expeditions. The latest version will put the pals back on the locked page when you swap presets. I use the 'last' page by pressing Q once from Page 1, put my party pals there, then lock it.

While it doesn't fix the limited Favorites tags, if you aren't opposed to mods (or aren't on console and can't use mods), some of your other asks are made better with PalInsight (https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/4638). It adds a text search bar to search for Name, Partner skill, Passive, and a few other things. It also adds that same search bar and the Sort button controls to Condenser and other places where you can view a Palbox like interface.

You might also be interested in Palbox Page Lock which I mentioned in reply to ashinydeeds elsewhere in this reddit thread.

Please see reply to ashinydeeds regarding your comment.

If you aren't opposed to mods (or aren't on console and can't use mods), there is a mod Palbox Page Lock (https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/5852). I've been using it and it works great. I even gave feedback and author updated it so that if you put pals on a locked page in a preset, it will put those pals back on the locked page when you choose a different preset and store those back in the Palbox.

I would like to see more favorites though... 3 seems very limiting. Why not give us at least 5? or 9? Enough to make meaningful designations without so many that you have to click a million times to get back around to the beginning.

I'm pretty close to this. Fav 1 for party pals. Fav 2 for breeding pals (either clean male/female of a species or has a single clean desirable passive). Fav 3 is for Expedition dedicated pals (usually an Alpha with good stats but bad or unclean passives).

Then when time to launch expeditions, I sort by Fav 1 & 2 then use the Exclusion settings to make sure all 1&2 are excluded (and any not tagged 1 or 2 aren't excluded). Then I sort by Expedition Power and Fav 3. I have a mod which grants Expedition XP, so it is worth forcing a few of the Fav 3 with lower power on the expedition so they can level (increasing their stats and thus increasing their power), so I tag 2 rows of the low end then Autofill the rest.

Regarding the individual Palboxes, if you have unlocked it you can make a Dimensional Storage then set it to Public. Then pals that you put in there would be accessible to everyone in the guild without having to swap a base pal slot.

South Carolina Palmetto Bugs already do that :(. I think they might actually own the place.

I am doing a breeding only run right now. I posted about it before I started. I allowed capturing 1 chikipi because it can't be bred normally and my luck it was like Slacker. I captured 3 lamballs and 1 foxparks just to advance the quest then promptly sold them. That was the last time I threw a sphere. I can rescue pals from cages, hatch random eggs found in the world or breed pals. However, I have to breed in order of the Palpedia. So once I unlocked breeding I first had to breed lamballs until I got the Mimmog Effigy. Then breed cattiva until the Effigy and so on. Once I have the Effigy I consider that pal 'unlocked' and could breed it for passives or whatever. If a path to breeding a pal goes through a pal I haven't unlocked and haven't found one in a cage or eggs then I am not allowed to breed the intermediate pal and have to come back to that one until I either unlock it or find one.

It has been interesting. Early game was very tough because the 1-10 cage table is limited and I got unlucky and couldn't didn't get a Lifmunk for a long time so I was lacking a lumberer... Tons of bristlas though which is good because I was planning to go grass and water (natury). Once I defeated Zoe & Grizzbolt that unlocked the incubator which allowed me to pick up every eggs I could find in the world and I was able to expand my options for pals significantly. I get a few of the Mimmog Effigies checked off and even got a lucky egg for Nitewing. Then it was building up to take on Lily & Lyleen. After that it opened up the breeding pen.

The challenge at the point is that while I had the lone chikipi for eggs I had no source for milk or honey. I spent a lot of time making a loop north of Lily's tower slaughtering cinnemoths for honey and eventually found an egg with a mozzarina in it. I'm late 30s now and exploring the area where the beeguardes spawn and finally found a couple of eggs for them. So now just working my way up the Palpedia in order...

Company I worked for had a CEO who could just not understand that Windows laptops needed to install updates from time to time to close vulnerabilities that would present risk to the company. We tried to advise them to leave the laptop on overnight and it would perform maintenance on its own while they were sleeping... But,no, they left it in their bag except when they wanted to use it. So invariably it would be past due on patches all the time so SCCM would force install them after a grace period and then they would get a 15 minute forced reboot... Which of course was often during a meeting because that was the only time they turned it on. They complained enough that we had to get a second, identical laptop for them. The laptop they had would be excluded from patching in SCCM, while the second stayed online in the office. Then every couple of weeks, we'd have to put the second in patching exception, give that one to the CEO, then take the one they were using, remove it from exception and leave it on in the office so it could patch. Every couple of weeks we had to perform this dance all because they couldn't just plug it in overnight once or twice a week like everyone else

In a similar boat as some other posted here. I had been with my last company for 13 years and had risen from general Senior Systems Engineering to Tech Lead of Endpoint Management then Principal Engineer when IT was outsourced to an overseas MSP. I was specialized into Endpoint architecture for SCCM and Intune as well as master level Powershell for automation and graphical tools development. We could all see the writing on the wall that our company was going to perform an upward merger into the parent company eventually and so for over a year we were trying to get ready for it.

Everyone told me (including my director) that I was positioned better than anyone else to be retained when that happened. I even did a major project for the parent company in the last 6 months before the merger was announced. But when it was announced it came with the announcement that the parent company was outsourcing all of IT to a different MSP that claimed to be able to do engineering work. So the decisions about who to keep were made by a senior VP who didn't know any of the people affected and they just blanket eliminated everyone below Architect level. Since I had been unable to get them to grant me that title years ago when I asked for it, my position was also eliminated.

My director repeatedly told me that he thought I would be fine because of my skills... And at first I thought so too. Before my last date I had a few good solid leads, but unfortunately they didn't quite pan out (last one was down to me vs one other candidate and the ultimately decided to go with the other). But it has been a month since my last day and I am still hunting. The problem is as OP aluded to... I am a bit specialized. There are fewer jobs available in the Endpoint space than general Systems Engineering. If I went back to Systems Engineering I now don't have all of the skills being asked for certain cloud technologies or combination infrastructure and networking a lot of job postings ask for. So I'd have to take a more entry level senior position which would have a significant pay decrease.

But the biggest problem is how job hunting works now. Most applications are weeded out through ATS and are never reviewed by a human. I've seen so many posts by HR and company recruiters who lament that resumes are all AI generated now, but the common answer is that we HAVE to do that to get past their AI screening processes. So I keep throwing my resume into the ether and not getting responses.

Most of my previous positions I have either gotten through someone I knew of through a recruiter... It isn't what you know, it is who you know. So I can only recommend you always grow you network and leverage it should you find yourself in a similar situation.

I know it doesn't really help you solve your problem, but we had some WIMs quite a bit bigger than that (8-12 Gb range) and they transfered fine to our PullDPs. So PullDP and BITS should be able to handle it.

Also a good way to raise your blood pressure and make you want to throw something at the screen for the millionth time the cheeky bastard escapes after the first wiggle. It is already bad enough on certain pals which seem to get out more even with the same starting percent as other pals. I will never understand when people associate frustration with challenge and think making it more frustrating equates to more challenging. But to each their own. Play however you want and I shall continue to play however I want and it is ok if those are different.

As much as I loved the show, I was so frustrated with how season 7 went, especially this scene. There was so much nonsensical things done which were obviously done just because the writers couldn't think of another way. Callum stands there explaining his plan to Aravos (though he is really explaining it to the audience because the writers chose to tell-not-show) giving Aravos many opportunities to stop him... Which he effectively does by stalling. If Callum was dedicated to his plan, like he seemed to be, he wouldn't have told Aravos about it, he would have just done it. We, the audience would have seen him cast the spell and the second Aravos was trapped in the coin the arrow would have pierced Callum's chest. Flash to Rayla's and Ezran's shocked looks then slowly pan in the direction the arrow came to see the assassin who just fired looking solemn but satisfied. Rayla rushes to Callum's side and holds his head in her lap, as he is visibly calm. He weakly lifts his hand to brush he cheek and says that now she, and all of Zadia, is safe and he knows he conquered his fear of being used for dark purposes. And then he expires. A much more emotional ending than they cobbled together, the human hero who saved the world by conquering his own darkness. The human who showed that humans have the capacity to connect to a primal just like the magical creatures. An example to everyone of how one should live, and sacrifice if needed.

But I was almost screaming at the screen during that scene... Why are you still talking about it, just do it! It is like a reverse of the old joke from The Incredibles... Aravos stopped him by getting Callum to monologue his plan. Which wasn't done because it made sense for the characters, it was done because the writers had to tell not show the audience... It is almost always better in visual media to show-not-tell. But there has been a lost of shows/movies lately doing tell-not-show. I saw one claim that part of that is due to the Netflix age where people have something on in the background while they do something else so since you aren't paying attention to the show/movie they excessively use exposition to explain things that the audience might not pick up on. Either that or it is just poor writing... Or written with assistance of AI or something. Either way, it was a shame for the show's seventh season to be so poorly written when the whole of the show was so good.

I recently applied to a position which had an AI screening call at the start of the process and I noped out. It told me that the call would be recorded. I looked for a terms of service to get clarification on how that recording would be used but the T&C which was liked was made in 2018 before AI was prevalent and didn't include any references to the AI screening recordings. So once recorded there was nothing about how that recording would be used (used to train their AI?). If you are going to be 'cutting edge' and use AI as part of your screening then you need to ensure that you are transparent and bothered to update your T&C accordingly.

That company I previously worked for with almost 13 years recently executed an upward merger from multiple child companies into the parent. As part of that my position (and hundreds of others) was eliminated therefore I'm a bit sensitive to the whole 'people are just cogs in the machine' corporate thinking so this kind of AI screening (and ATS as a while for that matter) is a sensitive topic right now.
