Over-staff Planting relative to Watering. It sits at the head of the queue, so slow planting throttles everything behind it.

The best Planting pal you can catch early

Dinossom is the best Planting pal catchable before level 20, at Planting 3 from level 10.

The next rung up is Lyleen at Planting 7, which spawns from level 58. Take that as the swap and Dandilord as the ceiling.

9 of these ten also carry a second suitability at rank 3 or better, Dandilord, Lyleen, Ophydia among them. A slot filled by a pal that covers two jobs is a slot you do not have to fill twice.

Passives are inheritable, so a bred worker beats a caught one of the same species. Read the passive inheritance odds per egg, then let the planner route to any pal on this page from the box you already own. Dandilord is nocturnal, so see which nocturnal pals work the night shift.

What Planting level actually does

A higher Planting rank makes a pal finish Planting work faster rather than take on more of it at once.

Ranks run from 1 to 8 in the Palworld 1.0 data and Planting uses the whole scale, which is why one rank-8 worker on a station that draws a single pal at a time beats three rank-2 ones.

Planting is the head of the queue, so speed here moves the whole farm. A bred planter with Artisan pulls the waterer and the gatherer along behind it.
