What tools do I need for a Palworld dedicated server?

Most admins need three things: a PalWorldSettings.ini editor for rates and rules, a RAM estimate based on players and bases, and a save converter if you are moving a co-op world online. Those are under Server tools on this page.

How do I fix the Palworld host save when moving to a dedicated server?

Co-op hosts use player ID ...0001. Dedicated servers tie characters to Steam accounts. The save converter rewrites those GUIDs in Level.sav and Players/*.sav so your character carries over.

Where does PalWorldSettings.ini go?

Linux: Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini. Windows: Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/PalWorldSettings.ini. Replace the OptionSettings line and restart the server.

Palworld dedicated server setup

Running a dedicated Palworld server usually means three chores: editing PalWorldSettings.ini, figuring out how much RAM your bases will burn, and sometimes moving a co-op world onto a machine that stays online. The server tools handle that. If you just want breeding odds or a type chart, jump straight to the game tools.

Server settings & rates

Dedicated servers read the OptionSettings line in PalWorldSettings.ini, not the co-op WorldOption.sav file. The settings generator imports what you already have, flags heavy values like BaseCampWorkerMaxNum, and gives you a clean line for Linux or Windows.

RAM, CPU & memory leak

Player count alone is a bad guide. Working Pals, conveyors, and mod packs stay in memory even when nobody is online, and dedicated server RAM tends to climb over long uptimes. The calculator factors bases, automation, mods, and leak headroom, then matches you to an AleForge plan with enough room.

Co-op to dedicated migration

The co-op host is always player ID …0001. Dedicated servers give each Steam account its own ID. Copy a world without rewriting those GUIDs and you wake up on the beach as a new character. The save converter patches Level.sav and Players/*.sav in your browser. Files never leave your machine.

Breeding, combat & bases

Once the server is up, the game tools cover the rest: parent combos, mutation odds, passive skills like Legend and Artisan, type matchups, a five-Pal team builder, and staffing for all twelve base jobs.
