Commonwealth Pal Spheres

Play Fallout 4 with Palworld's catch-and-release system. This is the listing for standard Fallout 4 (base game, with or without DLC); there's a twin listing for the Game of the Year Edition.

Catch: Craft Pal Spheres at a chemistry station from Palworld's own recipes (Pal, Mega, Giga and Hyper Spheres). Wear down a creature and throw: Mole Rats, Mongrels, Radstags, Radscorpions, Yao Guai, Deathclaws, feral ghouls, super mutants, robots, even raiders and other people, legendaries too. Palworld's catch rules decide whether it holds: the sphere's strength, the creature's level and remaining health, and that Pal's own catch rate and rarity. The sphere shakes three times, and every catch gives you XP.

Your Pals: Every catch takes on its Pal identity from your copy of Palworld: a Mole Rat becomes a Fuddler, a Brahmin a Mozzarina, a Yao Guai a Grizzbolt. Each gets its real name, element, work skills and Paldeck entry. Open the Pal Box from your Aid tab to browse them, and use the Pal Call Sphere and Pal Command to send them out, call them back and point them at enemies.

Fight together: Your Pal runs at your side like a companion, fearless and never hurt by your own attacks. Fainted Pals recover in the Pal Box. Alphas, bigger and much tougher, roam from level 20.

Settlements: Release a Pal at one of your settlements to live and work there. Its Palworld work skills fill your workbench every day, and settlers are happier with Pals around.

Palworld in the Commonwealth: Dogmeat becomes a Direhowl, model and name read from your Palworld. Preston has an Alpha Molerat at his side. And from level 10, the side quest Strange Times begins: a holotape nobody recognizes turns up in Sanctuary, telling of rifts and creatures too clean to be from this world.

You need both games installed: Fallout 4, the game you play, and Palworld, which supplies the Pals. The first Play reads both from your PC and builds the mod (a few seconds). Nothing from either game is included in the download. Single player.
