Guide:Etiquette

Looks like someone's cooking up some code! Work is actively being done for this page or section, and will be added soon. Please coordinate with the user(s) involved to ensure there are no conflicts.
Comments: This guide needs to be reworked with some of the latest game changes. Ores now can be mined by other players even after one player breaks a resource, and mindfulness needs to be made of players on Switch that cannot type as easily.

Etiquette

Palia is a very unique game that has a strong social aspect, so here are a few simple ways to ensure the Palia community is the best it can be! Please remember that these are not official rules or requirements; only common practices you might see during your time in Palia!

General Chat

1. Be kind, and remember that every Palian is a human just like you!
   • Always follow all the rules of the game! They're there to make sure everyone has fun and feels included!
   • If you see someone not following some of these etiquette suggestions, don't just assume they're trying to be rude or selfish. Everyone plays the game in different ways, and that's okay too.
2. Be conscientious while talking in Server chat
   • It can be hard to keep track of conversations when multiple groups are talking at the same time. If you're having trouble following the conversation, chances are everyone else is too. Consider using Near chat or inviting the people you're talking with to a party to keep the conversation going without interruptions or distractions!

Requests

Requests don't just get fulfilled out of nowhere! If someone fulfilled your request, try to fulfill a request or two once you're able to. Pay it forward!

Resources

Rare & Epic resources can be tricky to find. However, because of the way Palia works, as long as you tap the resource at least once, you'll get the full amount! If you happen upon a Rare or Epic resource, instead of taking it immediately, tell the server where it is, use a Flare Arrow if you have any, and collect it together!

1. Examples of callouts would be "Grove nw of windy" or "Dari cloves in A10".
2. If you're having trouble finding the spot, ask in chat for clarification.

Foraging & Mining

Gatherables and nodes remain for 3-5 minutes after someone collects it. Thus, it is unnecessary to wait for anyone after calling out before collecting and moving on. Listed below are resources that you should call out and flare when spotted:

1. Dari Cloves
2. Heartdrop Lily
3. Palium Ore

Flow Trees

Flow-Infused Wood are different to other gatherables as they usually require at least one other player to chop down and are unable to be chopped down by other players afterwards. Therefore, you should call out and flare Flow Trees that you come across and wait for players who are interested.

Flow Tree Groves

Groves only spawn once every hour and contain many Flow Trees so these should be called out to the server.

1. Let people know if you are travelling to a callout! They won't know to wait for you if they don't know you're interested!
   • Responses can be as simple as "Coming" or "omw." (On my way)
   • Sometimes, people will indicate what in-game time they plan to chop the grove at (E.g. "chop at 3"). You should aim to be there before this time.
