A Palworld players’ accidental eradication of their entire island is gaining popularity in the game’s community.

Palworld is continuing to see lots of success, and a large part of that is due to how the community is embracing the bugs.

They have largely enjoyed the issues and accidents that keep happening in the game’s Early Access period, and it’s become somewhat of a charm for the game itself.

This carries on with a recent event where a player’s Pal mount accidentally engulfed the entire island in flame, wiping everything out, and crashing the game. Naturally, the Palworld fans are loving it.

Palworld fans love bug that burned entire island down

The story can be found on the Palworld subreddit, where the player shares how they mounted their Pal, and a bug caused their fire attack to spread across the entire map. This killed every living thing and crashed their game.

They share a screenshot of their character on the flying mount, and everything around them is fire and damage indicators.

The Palworld community loves it, though, and there are plenty of jokes to go around about the situation:

“Cool guys don’t look at explosions. They blow things up and then fly away.”

There are even players who are likening the event to another indie game that is proving to be massively popular:

“Palworld/Helldivers crossover? You called in a 500kg Eagle Bomb.”

This is in reference to Helldivers 2, which has players calling in all sorts of explosives and weaponry that can decimate entire squads of enemies.

Of course, plenty of users are also referencing one of last year’s most popular movies with a timely and adequate quote: “Now I’ve become death, the destroyer of worlds.”

It’s the bugs like this that are always the most popular among the game’s fans, and this continues to prove it.
