FAQ

Where is PalWorldSettings.ini located?

The file is located at Pal/Saved/Config/<Platform>Server/PalWorldSettings.ini inside your Palworld server installation directory. <Platform> is Linux for Linux servers or Windows for Windows servers.

What is WorldOption.sav? How does it relate to PalWorldSettings.ini?

WorldOption.sav is a binary file that stores the same server settings. It is generated automatically when you create or modify a world through the in-game settings UI, and is located in the world save folder (Pal/Saved/SaveGames/<WorldID>/WorldOption.sav).

Priority: If WorldOption.sav exists, the game reads settings from it and ignores PalWorldSettings.ini. This means editing the INI file will have no effect until you delete the SAV file. If you want to manage settings purely via PalWorldSettings.ini, delete WorldOption.sav and restart the server.

You can use this tool to import an existing WorldOption.sav, modify the settings, then download the updated SAV file to put back.

What does the Difficulty setting do?

Setting Difficulty=None means the game uses the custom rate values you specify in the rest of the settings. Setting it to Normal or Difficult applies preset multipliers that override some of your custom rates.

Can I change settings while the server is running?

No. You must stop the server, edit PalWorldSettings.ini or replace WorldOption.sav, save the file, and then restart the server for changes to take effect.

What is RCON and should I enable it?

RCON (Remote Console) allows you to execute server commands remotely. It is useful for server administration but should be secured with a strong admin password. Set RCONEnabled=True and configure RCONPort if you need remote management.
