What is SAN in Palworld? Short for sanity, SAN is used to gauge the stress levels of your Pals. The easiest way to see a Pal’s SAN level is to open up the Pal management menu at a Palbox in one of your bases; it will be listed on their stats screen. The lower their SAN, the less likely they are to work and be productive in your bases. If it reaches zero, they will become incapacitated, completely ruining your well-oiled Pal machine as another friend will stop working to rescue them. SAN will also decrease as your Pals work in your bases and explore the world with you, battling along the way. Thankfully, there’s several ways to keep your Pals’ SAN in tip-top shape.
