Palworld Technology List: A Full Guide to all the Innovations

Last updated 9 October 2026. Checked against Palworld 1.0.5. Levels and costs are read from the game's data files for version 1.0 and corrected with the changes Pocketpair listed in later patch notes; if something differs in your game, your game is right.

How the Palworld technology tree works

Open the Technology menu and you spend points to unlock recipes and building pieces. A technology becomes available when you reach its level, and the player level cap is 80 since version 1.0 (it was 65 before). Some technologies also need an earlier technology, a defeated tower boss or a finished Pal Labor Research upgrade; those are noted in the table.

Two kinds of points exist. Technology points pay for the regular technologies: unlocking all of them costs 1413 points in the game data. Ancient technology points pay for the 51 ancient technologies, 182 points in total. They are a separate currency, so spending one kind never touches the other.

One change worth knowing: in version 1.0.3 Pocketpair moved the Aquatic Construction Kit from level 66 down to level 23 and cut its ancient point cost from 4 to 1, so if you want to build on water you no longer have to wait for the endgame. The table shows the new values.

Pocketpair also lowered the unlock level of some Jetragon-related technologies from 79 to 70 in 1.0.3. The data we read does not say which ones, so levels 70 and 79 in the table may be off by that much for them.

What to unlock first

Spend your first points on what blocks you right now: the tools and buildings you need to progress, then the base facilities your Pals work at. Decoration and comfort can wait. Since the cost of everything is in the tables, you can also plan a few levels ahead and save points for the technology you want most.
