Data Sources and Update Policy
This page explains what data the Palworld Breeding calculator uses, how updates are recorded, and what the site does not use as a production data source.
| Game version | Palworld 1.0 |

| Dataset version | 2026-07-15.palcalc-v26.b822c7f |
| Source type | game-file-extract |
| Source description | Normalized from PalCalc.Model db.json and breeding.json. PalCalc.GenDB documents generation from installed Palworld game files using CUE4Parse. |

Pinned source package
The normalized calculator data and local Pal thumbnail retrieval are generated from the pinned PalCalc commit/source package at commit b822c7fda4f019bd7c57f45437f14a74061a29bc. PalCalc is used because its GenDB documentation describes generation from installed Palworld game files using CUE4Parse. PalCalc is the pinned package used to retrieve these files; it is not the rights holder for Palworld names or character artwork.

PalCalc stable v1.17.5 notes fixes for certain v1.0 saves, and v1.17.3 notes fixes for invalid DB entries and incorrect breeding results. This site pins a later commit from July 14, 2026.
Official Palworld 1.0 release facts are linked from the Steam release announcement. Breeding result rows on this site are not copied from competitor calculators.
Local Pal thumbnails
The calculator ships local 100x100 WebP Pal thumbnails for identification in selectors, selected states, result cards, and target headings. The checked manifest is published at /data/pal-images.jsonand records each Pal ID, source PNG name, upstream source URL, output path, dimensions, byte size, and SHA-256 hash.

Source policy
For v0, the accepted data package comes from an authorized game-file extraction path through PalCalc's generated model files. The owner has also approved use of authorized Pal media for this project. Palworld names and character artwork are © Pocketpair, Inc., used for identification in this unofficial fan-made tool under that authorization decision.
Competitor calculators, fan wikis, and guide pages may be used for benchmarking or cross-checking samples, but they are not copied as the production data source or image source unless a separate license review explicitly allows it.
What we do not use as the sole source
- Scraped competitor calculator data.
- Older public datasets that do not match the Palworld 1.0 data scope.
- Image or icon assets from wikis, guides, competitors, or any source without an accepted rights decision and per-asset provenance.
- Exact Pal or combo counts that are not derived from the accepted data package.
Normalization and update workflow
The generator accepts only real Paldeck entries with a Paldeck number greater than 0 and less than 10000. It keeps stable IDs from PalCalc internal names, makes the Gumoss flower variant visible as Gumoss (Special), filters breeding rows to accepted IDs, preserves parent gender labels, and sorts parent IDs for commutative lookup.
Each breeding data update must create a changelog entry with dataset version, game version, update date, source type, source hash, reviewer, and a short note about user impact. When the data package changes, the calculator, this page, the changelog, and llms.txt must reflect the same version information.
