Palworld's latest patch obliterates the survival game's best gold-farming method, sending min-maxers straight back to the drawing board
A major new Palworld patch has just been released that does away with the game's most effective gold-farming method.
Palworld patch v0.1.5.0 has just been rolled out on Steam, stamping out a broad range of bugs and bringing balance changes to Pocketpair's phenomenally popular survival game. It's all in an effort to make Palworld perform better and be more enjoyable for players, but there's one adjustment that fans wish the developer hadn't made.
According to the patch notes posted on Twitter, the update "Fixed the abnormally high selling price of nails." Previously, one of these small metal spikes fetched the handsome sum of 160 gold. Offer them to a vendor now, though, and you'll get a rather measly 20 gold.

Fortunately, it's not the nail in the coffin for easy money-making endeavors. As other players point out, there are plenty of other ways to line your purse in Palworld, including setting up berry farms, selling pizza and salad, or, ahem, "burning the Black Market guy to death over and over."
In a separate tweet, posted shortly after, the developer apologizes for a change it's mistakingly made in the recent update, and before you get too excited, no, it has nothing to do with the price of nails.
"As a result of various bugs that we fixed in the most recent patch, a bug that allowed players to capture the tower boss was unintentionally fixed,"
