Find needles by hand, then let your Pal help.
Place a straw search patch in a solo Palworld world. Find your first needle by hand, unlock your summoned Pal as a helper, and buy a double-speed upgrade. Progress saves per world.
Four manual searches earn one needle. The helper costs one needle and earns one every 12 seconds while your owned, summoned Pal stays beside the patch. Spend three needles to reduce that to 6 seconds. Uses the Pal's normal follower behaviour; no custom search animation.
Controls: F6 place, F7 search, F8 helper, F9 upgrade.
