How Do I Change Palworld Server Settings?


Note that some of these settings are currently not implemented and will not do anything if changed.

The new Hardcore options (bHardcore and bPalLost) and Randomizer options require a WorldOption.sav file to be uploaded to home/container/Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/WorldID. Please note that uploading your own WorldOption.sav will overwrite any settings you change in Startup and a new file will have to be created and uploaded any time you want to change your settings.

When using a dedicated Palworld server, you must change the server settings from the Startup section of the panel.

  1. Go to the AleForge Panel
  2. Head to the Startup page
  3. Find the options in Startup you wish to edit and change them to your desired values

  4. Once you have set up your server, you can go to Console and restart the server to pick up the changes.

Below are all the options and what they will change. The game is a work in progress, so not all settings may work. These settings will be crossed out as we test which ones do and do not work.

Additional Tips

  • Backup Your Configuration File: Before making significant changes, consider creating a backup of your PalWorldSettings.ini file. This ensures you can revert to the default settings if needed.
  • Check for Updates: Periodically check for updates to the game or server software, as these updates may introduce new settings or adjustments.
