The Pal Surgery Table
Build the Pal Surgery Table (unlocks at level 38) to add passives to a Pal you already have. Each operation has a price in the game files:
- Gold only (10,000 or 50,000 gold): Serious, Work Slave, Insomnia, Philanthropist, Dainty Eater, Diet Lover, Positive Thinker, Workaholic, Nimble, Mine Foreman and Logging Foreman.
- Gold plus an Implant: Artisan, Runner and Motivational Leader. Their implants are sold for Bounty Tokens or at the Arena shop (tap the implant to see where).
- A Disposable Implant, no gold: Remarkable Craftsmanship, Demon’s Hand, Mastery of Fasting, Heart of the Immovable King, Swift, Babysitter and the other top passives. Disposable Implants are prizes from the Ancient Relic Recycler (unlocks at level 74).
Passing passives to babies
Babies inherit passives from their parents. Special Cake makes the baby inherit 4 passives from its parents, so give both parents only the passives you want and feed the farm Special Cake. Every passive on a parent can be passed on, including Philanthropist, so keep your breeding-speed parents separate from your perfect-passive parents.
To find wild Pals with a passive you want, take a Yakumo: its partner skill raises the chance of meeting Pals with the same passive as it has (some passives excluded). See the cake guide for what each cake does.
