It unlocks at a mid-game character level within the storage section of the Technology tree; check the level shown on the entry for the current requirement.

Where do I build the Large Toolbox?

It is crafted at a standard workbench using basic building materials, then placed anywhere in your base like other storage structures.

Crafting

How do you research the Large Toolbox in Palworld?

Answer

The Large Toolbox unlocks in the Technology menu once your character reaches the required level, and it is researched using Technology Points like most storage upgrades. After unlocking it, craft it at a workbench and place it in your base to store more tools and equipment than the basic toolbox allows.

Storage management becomes a real problem in Palworld once you start collecting multiple weapon types, saddles, and spare gear, and the Large Toolbox is one of the fixes the Technology tree offers.

Quick answer

Open the Technology menu, locate the Large Toolbox in the storage category, and unlock it once your character reaches the required level and you have enough Technology Points. Craft it at a workbench and place it in your base.

Step-by-step

Continue leveling your character through exploration and combat until the Large Toolbox's level requirement is met.
Open the pause menu and select the Technology tab.
Find the Large Toolbox entry, usually near the base storage unlocks.
Spend the required Technology Points to research it.
Go to your workbench and craft it with the listed materials.
Place it in your base near where you keep your gear.

Why it's worth prioritizing

Early in a playthrough, the basic Toolbox fills up quickly once you start crafting multiple weapons, ammo types, and armor pieces. The Large Toolbox gives you meaningfully more space, which keeps your general item chests free for materials and ingredients instead of overflow gear.

Comparing storage options

Structure	Best for
Basic Toolbox	Early game, minimal gear
Large Toolbox	Mid-to-late game, multiple weapon and armor sets
General chests	Raw materials, ingredients, and drops

Fitting it into a base plan

A well-organized base makes every other system easier to manage, from assigning Pals to specific jobs to preparing gear before a boss run. If you are also planning which Pals to breed for combat or work traits, our breeding combinations tool and Pals database can help you decide what gear and setups to prepare for ahead of time.

When to research it

The Large Toolbox tends to become relevant right around the point where players start diversifying their weapon loadout for different enemy types and terrain. Rather than waiting until your basic Toolbox is completely full, it is worth researching the upgrade as soon as it's available so your inventory management stays ahead of your gear collection.
