Choose Base Workers by Job
Start with the job that is bottlenecking your base. Each directory ranks base suitability first, then uses food amount and name to break ties. Wild level-20 shortlists are shown separately inside the guides and do not change the overall order.
Resolve throughput bottlenecks across heat, crops, power, medicine, crafting, and cooling.
Best Kindling Pals
Choose a heat specialist for cooking lines, furnaces, and other fire-powered stations.
Best Watering Pals
Compare water workers for crop plots, mills, crushers, and production that depends on a steady flow.
Best Planting Pals
Staff crop plots with a planting specialist before gathering and watering become the next bottlenecks.
Best Electricity Pals
Find a dedicated generator worker for bases whose powered stations are outrunning supply.
Best Handiwork Pals
Prioritize assembly and construction throughput when benches and queued builds are backing up.
Best Medicine Pals
Shorten medicine queues with a specialist instead of borrowing a general-purpose crafter.
Best Cooling Pals
Choose a cooling worker for refrigeration and other stations that require continuous cold.
Plan harvesting, ranch output, material extraction, and movement into storage.
Best Gathering Pals
Move ripe crops off plantations quickly so the next planting cycle can begin.
Best Lumbering Pals
Keep wood production running with a specialist suited to logging work.
Best Mining Pals
Compare stone and ore workers by their base Mining level and the ranking tie-breaks.
Oil Extraction data status
Track this field separately: no canonical Pal currently has a non-zero base Oil Extraction level.
Best Transporting Pals
Clear loose output from farms and production stations before storage movement stalls the base.
Best Farming Pals
Use this as a ranch-suitability roster, then choose the species by the item you actually need.
