The new farm is to capture a male and female level 78 World Tree Pal, breed them for eggs, hatch the offspring, then process the hatched Pals at the Disassembly Station for Giant Pal Souls and Thermal Cores.
This is a late-game Palworld 1.0 farm built around turning one captured breeding pair into a steady line of hatchlings. Instead of repeatedly hunting the same open-world Pal, you capture one male and one female, make eggs at a Breeding Farm, hatch them in a Large Incubator, and feed the results into the Disassembly Station.
KEY!The important split is simple: the World Tree breeding route is the farm for both Giant Pal Soul and Thermal Core, while the fallback methods later in this guide are mainly for Giant Pal Soul.
Requirements for the World Tree soul and core farm

| Requirement | Needed for |
|---|---|
| World Tree biome access | Reaching the level 78 target Pal. |
| Level 78 World Tree target Pal | The Pal you breed and then disassemble for the farm. |
| One male and one female | Starting the repeatable breeding loop. |
| Strong spheres and late-game gear | Catching the level 78 pair safely. |
| Breeding Farm | Producing eggs from the captured pair. |
| Vegetable Cake | Fueling the breeding setup and enabling two eggs at once. |
| Large Incubator | Hatching the eggs into disposable offspring. |
| Disassembly Station | Processing the hatched Pals into materials. |
| Bonus egg Pal and saddle | Adding a 50% chance for extra eggs while collecting. |
You need access to the World Tree biome and enough capture power to safely catch a level 78 target Pal there. The farm also depends on gender, so catching two of the same Pal is not enough unless one is male and the other is female.
Before you start breeding, prepare your base setup. The Breeding Farm unlocks at level 19, the Disassembly Station unlocks at level 56, and the route uses Vegetable Cake because it can produce two eggs at once. A bonus egg Pal from the island habitat shown in-game can also help by giving a 50% chance for an extra egg, but you need its saddle crafted for the egg bonus to matter.
How to farm Giant Pal Souls and Thermal Cores in Palworld
This route sets up a repeatable loop: catch the World Tree pair once, breed eggs, hatch them, and disassemble the offspring for materials.
STEP 1/15
Enter the World Tree biome

Go inside the World Tree biome, because the target level 78 Pal for this farm is found there.
STEP 2/15
Find the level 78 target Pal
Look for the level 78 Pal shown in the World Tree area and bring capture gear strong enough for a late-game catch.
STEP 3/15
Check the left-side spawn area
Search the left-side area inside the World Tree biome where the target Pal appears.
STEP 4/15
Catch two of the same Pal
Capture two of the target Pal so you can turn the catch into a base farm.
STEP 5/15
Make sure the pair is male and female
Keep catching until you have one male and one female of the same target Pal.
STEP 6/15
Unlock and place the Breeding Farm
At level 19, unlock the Breeding Farm and prepare it for the captured pair.
STEP 7/15
Craft Vegetable Cake
Make Vegetable Cake, which is used here because it can give two eggs at once.
STEP 8/15
Add the bonus egg Pal to your team
Bring the extra egg Pal from its island habitat for a 50% chance to get another egg.
STEP 9/15
Assign both captured Pals to breeding
Put the male and female target Pals into the Breeding Farm.
STEP 10/15
Place the Vegetable Cake outside
Put the Vegetable Cake in the breeding setup so the pair starts laying eggs over time.
STEP 11/15
Craft the bonus Pal saddle
Craft the bonus egg Pal’s saddle before collecting so its extra-egg effect can apply.
STEP 12/15
Collect the eggs
Pick up the eggs from the Breeding Farm, including any extra eggs from the bonus Pal effect.
STEP 13/15
Hatch the eggs in a Large Incubator
Use the Large Incubator to hatch all the eggs into more of the target Pal.
STEP 14/15
Unlock the Disassembly Station
At level 56, unlock the Disassembly Station for the final material conversion.
STEP 15/15
Process the hatched Pals
Put the hatched target Pals into the Disassembly Station to receive Giant Pal Soul and Thermal Core.

Why breeding beats repeated World Tree hunting

The strength of this farm is that the dangerous part happens once. After you catch the male and female level 78 World Tree Pal, your base becomes the material source, and every new egg is another Pal you can hatch and process.
That matters because Giant Pal Souls are high-tier soul materials used at the Statue of Power for later Pal upgrades, including combat stats and Work Speed. Thermal Core is also an expensive late-game material, so getting both from the same breeding-to-disassembly loop makes the setup much more efficient than farming either material in isolation.
Do not judge the farm by a single hourly number. Your output depends on how fast you can make Vegetable Cake, how many eggs your setup produces, how quickly you hatch them, and whether you use the bonus egg Pal with its saddle active.
Keep the original male and female breeders alive and only disassemble the hatched offspring, so the farm never has to return to the World Tree unless you want better traits or backups.
Fallback Giant Pal Soul routes without the World Tree farm
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| Predator Pal hunting | Active Giant Pal Soul farming from tougher Pals with a reddish-pink aura and red eyes. |
| Crafting from Large Pal Souls | Converting 2 Large Pal Souls into 1 Giant Pal Soul through a Crusher or Refrigerated Crusher. |
| Expedition Stations | Hands-off Giant Pal Soul income from late-tier expedition routes when your team can clear them reliably. |
If you cannot run the World Tree breeding setup yet, farm Giant Pal Souls through other late-game routes first. These are useful backups for soul farming, but they should not be treated as Thermal Core farms.
Predator Pals are the cleanest active fallback because they are built around Giant Pal Soul drops. They look like stronger variants of normal Pals, marked by a reddish-pink aura and red eyes, so they are easy to miss if you are only scanning names.
The crafting route is steadier if you already have a good Large Pal Soul supply. A Crusher or Refrigerated Crusher can turn 2 Large Pal Souls into 1 Giant Pal Soul, which makes older Large Pal Soul farms useful even after you move into Giant Soul upgrades.
Mistakes that slow the farm down
The biggest mistake is mixing up Large Pal Soul and Giant Pal Soul. Large Pal Soul farms can support this route through crafting, but they are not the same thing as directly producing Giant Pal Souls from the World Tree breeding loop.
Do not skip the gender requirement. The farm needs one male and one female of the level 78 World Tree target Pal, and forgetting that turns the trip into wasted capture time. Also make sure you actually stock Vegetable Cake, because the Breeding Farm will not carry the loop by itself.
The bonus egg Pal is another easy loss. If you bring it but forget the saddle, you are leaving extra eggs behind. And if you are writing down routes for later, keep the categories clean: Predator Pal routes are Giant Pal Soul fallbacks, not Thermal Core farms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this farm give both Giant Pal Soul and Thermal Core?
Yes. The World Tree breeding and disassembly route is used for both materials: hatch the offspring from the level 78 breeding pair, then process those hatched Pals at the Disassembly Station for Giant Pal Soul and Thermal Core.
What level do you need for the Breeding Farm and Disassembly Station?
The Breeding Farm unlocks at level 19, and the Disassembly Station unlocks at level 56. You also need access to the World Tree biome and enough gear to catch a level 78 Pal.
Do Predator Pals also farm Thermal Core?
Use Predator Pals as a Giant Pal Soul fallback route. The Thermal Core route covered here is the World Tree breeding-to-disassembly farm, not Predator Pal hunting.
What is the difference between Large Pal Soul and Giant Pal Soul?
Large Pal Soul is the lower material in this chain. You can convert 2 Large Pal Souls into 1 Giant Pal Soul with a Crusher or Refrigerated Crusher, while Giant Pal Soul is the higher-tier soul used for later Statue of Power upgrades.
Is this better than hunting Predator Pals?
For a long-term base farm, yes. Predator Pal hunting is useful when you need Giant Pal Souls before the setup is ready, but the World Tree method turns one captured male and female pair into a repeatable egg, hatch, and disassembly loop that also supplies Thermal Core.
