Available Palworld Server Configuration File Parameters
Configuration file
On this page, you can learn about server settings, game balance settings, and other items that can be set with ini files. Please note that not all settings below are added into the stock configuration file and you may need to add some of the ones below to your server's configuration file if it's not already there.
** Stop your server prior to making any configuration file changes or they will not save. **
Location of configuration file
Configuration file should be located at the following location:
Server Control Panel > Configuration Files > PalWorldSettings.ini (Text Editor or Config Editor)
** Using the Config Editor allows for a GUI-like interface, but will not allow for manually added parameters to be added individually and you are limited to those that are shown on the GUI. The GUI may take a moment to load as well.
Although it is more 'advanced', our team recommends using the text editor and manually editing the file to ensure you know what changes are being made. The Config/GUI editor has also been known to overwrite prior changes at times.
