English names: locales/en-US/markers/<map>.json at the same endpoint.
Modified: mapped game types to PalWaypoint categories, converted records to
compact arrays, excluded habitat sample points, and joined English names.

Source actor identifiers are retained. Its code license does not transfer
ownership of the underlying game data or artwork.

All 1,816 egg spawners, 59 camps and 22 Kinship Peaches:

Files eggs_spawners.json, camps.json and kinship_peach.json.
Game-extracted instance identifiers are retained; eggs are grouped by region.

Chest previews: independently extracted Arkive item acquisition tables.

Probabilities are kept separately by loot area and chest grade. The source
does not fix each location's grade, appearance odds or respawn time.

Additional resource nodes, fishing salvage locations, and dungeon entrances:
PalDB's public game map data, https://paldb.cc/en/Palpagos_Islands and
https://paldb.cc/en/The_World_Tree . Source data literals:
https://paldb.cc/js/map_data_en.js and https://paldb.cc/js/treemap_data_en.js
Parsed only JSON data literals; no site application code was copied or run.
Duplicate locations within the same type are omitted. Source indices and
input hashes are retained for reproducibility. Game artwork is Pocketpair's.

Region footprints: direct read-only recovery from installed Palworld Steam
build 25246127. All 123 named WorldMapAreaData entries join localized names
and placed box/sphere components with complete parent transforms. All eight
box corners are projected; spheres use 96-point footprints. Smallest footprint
wins where regions overlap. Cave footprints are not surface entrances.
World Tree localized area names match travel points, but their boundaries
remain unverified. No ambient-audio volume boundaries were substituted.

Every active map record contains an independent source identifier. Previous
IDs are retained solely for matching existing browser progress; no previous
location labels, loot previews or imported icon files are retained.
Coverage reflects these sources, not every location in the game.

Direct recovery on September 30, 2026: installed Palworld Steam build 25246127.
Read 9,982 map packages without extraction failures; resolved scene-component
attachment transforms and instance/class-default overrides. Actor/package IDs
and source heights are retained in the recovery audit. Game loot weights are
reported per slot and grade; these do not establish world spawn probability.
Extracted independently with CUE4Parse (Apache-2.0),
https://github.com/FabianFG/CUE4Parse , and PalworldModding mappings,
https://github.com/PalworldModding/UsefulFiles . Game assets belong to Pocketpair.
No competitor map content supplies the recovered data.

October 1, 2026 recovery, same installed build: 83 resource-group centers
derived from actual scene attachments, and quest classifications joined to
validated quest nodes in NPC dialogue graphs. Wild Pal placement and day/night
habitat data come directly from DT_PalWildSpawner, DT_PalSpawnerPlacement and
DT_PaldexDistributionData. Rendering caps each habitat cloud at 800 points;
raw counts and full game exports remain in the local audit. Spawn row weights
are not unconditional encounter probabilities. Arkive's independent extractor
is a reference for game table joins and actor classes:
https://github.com/arkive-games/arkive/tree/master/tools/apps/palworld

October 1 cave recovery: 18 cave entrance areas derived independently from
authored game spline control points, baked tunnel-floor start caps and
corridor boundary vertices. Seventeen names resolve through game region and
English localization tables. Positions are approximate and not checked in
gameplay. Approach endpoints may precede the visible rock opening. Full
transforms, mesh vertices and package hashes remain in the local audit.

October 2 spawn heatmaps: weighted encounter groups and all character slots
are read from the same installed-build DT_PalWildSpawner and joined to
DT_PalSpawnerPlacement. Positive-weight NPC and non-catalog groups remain in
the denominator. Day and night weights are normalized separately over eligible
rows; All mode displays both results without averaging. Multi-character rows
share one group chance. Overlapping spawn pools are displayed separately.
These percentages are conditional group-selection weight shares, not guarantees
of a world encounter. Spawn caps and world state can affect actual encounters.
Heat smooths confirmed common field placements weighted by their pool shares;
it is approximate, not an exact spawn boundary or percentage scale. Area
radii join RadiusType to BP_PalGameSetting defaults (S/M/L) or StaticRadius.
Hovering outside a radius can show a clearly labeled nearby field area.
Paldeck-only clouds are excluded: they do not establish a spawn. Pals without
placed field, dungeon or boss rows are labeled "No wild spawns recorded".
Boss and dungeon pools now join positive native rows to their placements.
BOSS_ character IDs map to their corresponding base species. Dungeon pins
represent entrances and possible interior encounter pools, not spawn positions
inside the cave. Separate dungeon pools are never averaged together.
Export hashes are retained in pal-spawns.json; hashes identify extracted JSON.
The installed BP_PalGameSetting CaptureExpBonusMaxCount is 5. Manual completion
labels use 5/5 without altering saved capture-state keys or values.
