Players returning to Palworld following its 1.0 launch can streamline the crafting and building processes by altering two in-game settings, eliminating the need to continuously hold the F key. This change can make the repetitive nature of item creation less physically demanding.
To implement these adjustments, players should open the main menu by pressing the Esc key, then navigate to Options and select Game Settings. Within the Game Settings menu, players need to access the Keyboard tab (or Controller tab for controller users) and enable both "Single button for hold interactions" and "Change build mode from Hold to Toggle." It is crucial to activate both options, as enabling only "Single button for hold interactions" will still require holding the F key for crafting and building activities.
After modifying these settings, players must confirm their selections by pressing Esc again and choosing "YES" to apply and save the changes. This alteration aims to reduce the physical strain on the index finger during extended gameplay sessions that involve frequent crafting or building.
While most players report that these settings remain persistent after closing the game, some have experienced them reverting. It is advisable to double-check the settings at the beginning of subsequent play sessions to ensure they are still active.
