What the Ancient Pal Bed Does
The Ancient Pal Bed is the best pal bed in the game — an ancient recovery pod fitted with a soft mattress. Base pals sleep in it at night and retreat to it when injured; it heals 10 HP per second, tied with the Pal Pod for the fastest healing of any bed, while restoring SAN two and a half times faster. It's the same size as a Large Pal Bed, so even big pals rest comfortably.
How to Use It
- Unlocked at level 73 in the technology tree for just 3 technology points — one of the cheapest ancient-tech unlocks.
- Every working pal needs a bed, so build enough for your full base roster.
- It consumes no power, so recovery continues even if your grid goes down.
- Each one is fairly cheap to build for its tier: a few Soralite Ingots, World Tree Holy Water, and Mythical Wood.
How It Compares
- Straw Pal Bed — 1.5 HP/s, 0.05 SAN/s
- Fluffy Pal Bed — 2.5 HP/s, 0.1 SAN/s
- Large Pal Bed — 5 HP/s, 0.15 SAN/s
- Pal Pod — 10 HP/s, 0.2 SAN/s
- Ancient Pal Bed — 10 HP/s, 0.5 SAN/s
The SAN edge is what matters: pals that recover more sanity overnight start the day further from stress, sickness, and slacking off. For a high-pressure production base, upgrading beds is one of the simplest ways to keep the workforce stable.
