FAQ

Where does PalWorldSettings.ini go on a dedicated server?

  • Linux Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini
  • Windows Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/PalWorldSettings.ini
  • Mac Pal/Saved/Config/MacServer/PalWorldSettings.ini

Replace the OptionSettings line and restart the server.

Why don't my settings changes apply?

Usually the server was not restarted, the OptionSettings line has a syntax error, or you edited DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini instead of PalWorldSettings.ini. A bad comma or quote makes the game fall back to defaults without an error.

What do the Difficulty presets do?

Casual, Normal, and Hard apply the game's bundled tuning. With Difficulty=None, the server uses your individual rate settings. Set None if you are changing ExpRate, capture rate, or damage multipliers.

What should egg hatching time be?

PalEggDefaultHatchingTime is in hours for the largest eggs. Smaller eggs hatch faster. Default is 1. Breeding servers often use 0. Co-op servers commonly use 0.5.

Which settings affect server performance?

PalSpawnNumRate, BaseCampMaxNumInGuild, BaseCampWorkerMaxNum, and DropItemMaxNum have the biggest impact. They control how much the server simulates even when no one is online. For a RAM estimate based on your setup, use the RAM calculator.
