Palii’s up-to-date home tours showcase stunning and inventive plots

Palia is a cozy life simulation game, and one of the best parts about setting up in Kilima Valley and adventuring in Bahari Bay is the personalization of the storyline. Each player in Palia has their own home plot, a base of operations where they can farm, craft, and cook. This plot is highly customizable, which makes the up-to-date Home Tours feature very frosty.

Players can submit their own plots of land to Home Tours, and then check out other plots of land that other players have built. I’m notoriously uncreative when it comes to these kinds of things; if a crafting game offers me a myriad of tools and materials to build with, I’ll usually just go all in and make a cube. Fortunately, many people who play Palia They have much more sophisticated minds and I was thrilled to see some of their work.

While the game started with pre-made rooms, creator Singularity 6 added bricks, columns, floors, walls, and other basic building materials that aren’t tied to the larger structure. I haven’t figured out how to do that myself — but Jay Kromley has managed to create Jurassic Palia. Yes, that’s a T-Rex, made from wooden crates lined up by a careful architect.

Osirapphir Kath created a story called Night at the Museum that brought back a lot of Animal Crossing memories. I had a great time exploring the makeshift museum; the only thing that could have made it more genuine would have been Blathers, the restless owl and museum manager from Animal Crossing. Although there is no curator on the team, I appreciated the effort put into building such an elegant place.

For those who prefer speed, Lady Kathleen’s Palia Speedway was the highlight of my trip. The player used giant stuffed animals to place dragons on the racetrack—which makes sense, I think they look pretty rapid—and then went to the trouble of building custom cars and wagons out of chunks of stone and PalTech construction. Although the race is forever frozen in time, I love the effort that went into creating such a huge scene.

For a simpler concept, this PaliaCraft batch is frosty. It borrows some aesthetics from World of WarcraftStormwind City. Although it is hard to create an entire settlement from Paliaconstruction tools, I really enjoyed recreating another world on Palia a lot. Also, I’m a fan of the large fish on the right; that crazy guy adds a lot of character to this batch.

“Palia”the building scene has always been stifled by the fact that a person’s plot of land is so restricted; only they and their permitted friends can check it out. The up-to-date Home Tours feature is a solid way to explore other people’s plots and gaze longingly at their inventive projects. I used to put two blocks next to each other and that was the height of my ambition; these other plots are a good way to get inspired and admire other people’s work.
