How to fast travel in Palworld

Palworld fast travel requires you to find special statues and activate them, allowing you to bounce between them as you need to, as well as your own base. You'll need to use the foundational Palbox at the heart of your base to do that though, and finding the statues across the map is one of the biggest gameplay elements you'll encounter in your travels, creating a network web of teleportation - but I get ahead of myself. For a basic explanation on quickly getting across the map, here's how to fast travel in Palworld.

You'll actually trigger Palworld fast travel in the first few minutes of playing when you activate the orange pillar you can see above, barely seconds after arriving in the starting area. However, this fast travel point isn't much use on its own and it could be a while until you see another, depending on where you go and what you discover as you explore. Once you find another one though, you can activate and then use it to fast travel to any other pillars you find. You'll also get a Technology point to unlock stuff with. 

To give you some idea of how they're distributed and where to find them, here's my map - all those blue winged icons are a fast travel point I've found and activated.

The fast travel points are orange to start with, and turn blue once you activate them in Palworld. They can be hard to see over terrain and through trees sometimes, so always check your map - nearby points of interest will be highlighted, and can often reveal a fast travel pillar you're right next to but hadn't realised. You can also find fast travel points on top of the towers you reach after killing a boss, while your Palbox, the big terminal you use at any of your Palworld base locations to manage all your creatures, also lets you fast travel.
