Version 1.0.3 is a post-launch balance and stability patch affecting technology, resources, oil production, multiplayer, servers, progression, and building.
Palworld Update 1.0.3 released August 11, 2026. It lowers several late-game technology barriers, improves important resource flows, and fixes progression, co-op, dedicated-server, building, item, UI, and control problems.
Progression and economy changes
- Some Jetragon technologies moved from level 79 to 70 and their Pal Gear material costs fell.
- The Aquatic Construction Kit moved from level 66 to 23; its Ancient Technology Point cost fell from four to one.
- World Tree Holy Water lasts longer, weighs 0.1 instead of 1, and appears in more World Tree rewards and drops.
- Ancient Armor work requirements were adjusted, and trees now provide twice as much Fiber.
- Crude Oil Extractors, High-Pressure Extractors, and Large Power Generators cost less to build.
- Oil extractors produce faster, and a High-Pressure Extractor now satisfies the relevant base mission.
Fixes with practical impact
The patch fixes a Sunreach sequence that could block the main mission if a barrier was removed too early. It also addresses co-op lighting and cutscene stutter, unintended Fast Travel during dedicated-server tower battles, vibrating Pals on clients, Pals stopping combat or base work, raid progress failures, stair and roof placement detection, item duplication, fullscreen-setting failures, and several reward or effect errors.
Server administrators also receive bAllowEnemyCampSpawnNearBaseCamp, which controls suppression of enemy-camp spawns near player bases.
This page summarizes the high-impact changes; it does not turn every fixed bug into a claim about unrelated saves. Confirm the version shown by the client and server before applying a workaround written for 1.0.2 or earlier.
