Palworld Server Settings

Move the sliders, get a ready PalWorldSettings.ini. All 120 settings explained, with difficulty presets taken straight from the game.

A Palworld dedicated server keeps its settings in one OptionSettings line inside PalWorldSettings.ini. Set the values below, copy the result into your file and restart the server.

Difficulty presets

Values come from the game itself. Difficulty stays None so the server applies the numbers from your file instead of its built-in preset.

Frequently asked questions

Where is PalWorldSettings.ini?

In the server folder: Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\PalWorldSettings.ini on Windows, Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini on Linux. DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini in the root is a sample of the defaults and is never read.

Why are my settings ignored?

Three usual reasons: the wrong file was edited (it must be PalWorldSettings.ini under Saved/Config, not Default in the root), the server was not restarted, or Difficulty is not None — then the game takes its built-in preset and ignores part of your values.

How do I speed up EXP and catching Pals?

EXP is ExpRate (the engine accepts 0.1 to 20), catch chance is PalCaptureRate (0.5 to 2). CollectionDropRate and CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate speed up gathering, PalEggDefaultHatchingTime speeds up hatching.

How do server settings differ from in-game world settings?

They are the same set of parameters. Single-player changes them in the world settings menu; a dedicated server takes them from the OptionSettings line in PalWorldSettings.ini. A server also has keys the menu never shows: name and passwords, ports, RCON, REST API, cross-play.

How do I enable RCON and the REST API safely?

Turn on RCONEnabled or RESTAPIEnabled, set an admin password and keep the ports distinct: game 8211, RCON 25575, REST API 8212. Without an admin password, remote control is open to anyone who knows the address.
