Palworld server settings generator

How to use the generator

1. Stop the server first. A running Palworld server writes the settings it started with back to the file when it stops, so an edit made while it runs is lost.
2. Paste your current PalWorldSettings.ini to start from it, or start from the shipped defaults.
3. Change what you want. Each setting shows its default and Pocketpair's description, and the checks flag the mistakes we have seen the server skip or misread.
4. Copy or download the file, save it as PalWorldSettings.ini in Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer on Linux or Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer on Windows, then start the server.

What it checks

• A line break inside the OptionSettings line: in our test the server ignored every setting after the break.
• Misspelt or unknown setting names, which the server skips without a line in its log.
• Values the game does not know, such as an unknown death penalty, which fell back to the default in our test.
• Values outside Pocketpair's stated ranges, such as more than 10 bases per guild.
• Double quotes or a trailing backslash in a text value, which cut the value short or stopped later settings from being read in our test.
• A pasted DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini, the template the server never reads.

Each check rests on Pocketpair's documentation or on our own test of server v1.0.5.102999 (Steam build 25247047). The descriptions are Pocketpair's; 23 settings have none, and the generator says so rather than guess.

All 122 settings, in 11 groups

• Server name, passwords and who can join: 17 settings
• Ports, remote admin and logs: 10 settings
• Saving and backups: 2 settings
• Difficulty, time of day and rates: 17 settings
• Damage, health, hunger and stamina: 15 settings
• Gathering, items and technology: 17 settings
• Bases and building: 11 settings
• Guilds: 7 settings
• Death, respawn and Hardcore: 10 settings
• Travel, start and stat points: 8 settings
• PvP: 8 settings

Every default is the value in the DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini that ships with Steam build 25247047 (v1.0.5.102999), checked 2026-10-19. The Palworld server settings reference lists each one with its description.

On ForgeWorld Gaming

On a ForgeWorld Gaming server the panel writes the server name, description, both passwords and the crossplay platforms from the Startup tab at every start, sets the player limit from your plan's slots, and manages the port, IP and RCON settings. Change those in the panel; the generator marks them.
