Smart Transport Priority / 智能搬运优先级

English

Smart Transport Priority improves how base transport Pals choose what to carry.

Pickup sources are ranked using quantity, source type, item rarity, waiting time, distance, and a limited vanilla preference bonus.

This helps prevent transport Pals from repeatedly focusing on one mining site or being distracted by small loose drops.

Features

• Ranks pickup sources using quantity, source type, rarity, waiting time, and distance
• Production facilities, farms, ranches, mining sites, and loose drops use the same scoring system
• Higher-rarity items receive additional priority
• Completed production jobs are drained first so finished items do not block the next production batch
• Keeps a limited amount of vanilla transport preference
• Does not directly modify inventories, save data, or reservation data

Default Weights

• Mining site: 0.4
• Farm: 2.0
• Ranch: 4.0
• Furnace: 2.5
• Kitchen, crusher, and other production facilities: 2.5
• Other sources / loose drops: 1.0

Each item rarity tier adds 0.5 to its unit weight.

Approximate scoring:

priority =
    available quantity × unit weight
    + waiting-time bonus
    - distance penalty
    + limited vanilla-selection bonus

Completed finite production jobs use a higher priority tier and are drained before normal pickup sources.

Installation

Subscribe to this Mod and the required items listed on the Workshop page.

Enable the Mod under:

Then fully restart the game.

Configuration

Configuration file:

Mods\NativeMods\UE4SS\Mods\SmartTransportPriority\Scripts\config.lua

Source weights and other scoring parameters can be adjusted there.

Compatibility

• Mod version: v1.0.0
• Tested with Palworld 1.0.5
• Not recommended together with other Mods that modify transport source selection or transport reservations

After entering a save, transport Pals may temporarily continue tasks that were already queued by the vanilla game during base loading.

New transport jobs will gradually begin using this Mod's priority rules after those existing tasks are completed.

The Mod intentionally avoids forcibly clearing existing native transport queues to reduce the risk of lost tasks, stuck Pals, or crashes.
