Palworld guides
Palworld: 60 server guides on world settings, admin commands and mods, from Play Your Way, in plain English.
Getting Started
Settings & Admin
How to become a Palworld server admin
Find your admin password, log in with /AdminPassword, and use the commands that matter: broadcast, kick, ban, teleport, save and shutdown.
Palworld server settings and best presets
Where PalWorldSettings.ini lives, why your edits don't apply, what every common key does, and three presets to start your server from.
Palworld World Options Beyond the Settings Tab
Palworld server settings Pocketpair documents that the World Settings tab leaves out, with its descriptions and how to change them by hand.
Mods & Plugins
Files & Backups
Move a Palworld Co-op World to Your Server
Copy a Palworld co-op save onto your dedicated server with the File Manager, the risks of a Windows save on Linux, and the host character caveat.
Reset Player Data on Your Palworld Server
Clear the character files in your Palworld world folder with the File Manager, what that risks for bases and guilds, and the Hardcore alternative.
Reset Your Palworld Server World
Start a new Palworld world by backing up, stopping the server and deleting the world folder in the File Manager, with your settings and passwords kept.
Performance
Fix Palworld Server Lag and Memory Growth
Stop a Palworld server slowing down over time: read RAM, restart nightly, trim the settings that cost the most, keep saves cheap and size the plan.
How much RAM does a Palworld server need?
Palworld needs at least 8 GB and Pocketpair recommends 16 GB. See which plan fits 8, 16 or 24 players, the signs you need more, and how to upgrade.
Troubleshooting
Fix a Missing Palworld Character After a Move
A player lands on character creation after a Palworld world move. Check the loaded world, then the host character and the Windows to Linux caveat.
Fix Common Palworld Dedicated Server Problems
The usual Palworld server problems in one place: joins after patches, settings that do not stick, memory crashes, lost progress and mod players.
Fix Depressed Pals When Players Are Offline
Pals depressed after you log off? What the wiki and Pocketpair document, the World Settings worth trying, and the idle guild reset to keep off.
Fix Palworld Settings Not Applying
Palworld settings that will not stick: saving while running, Startup-managed keys, a WorldOption.sav override, a broken settings line and key spelling.

Get a Palworld server
Your choice of location, online in minutes, and these guides are a click away from the panel.
Every Palworld server here is a dedicated server, so the world stays up when nobody is playing and friends can drop in at different times. The panel's World Settings tab turns PalWorldSettings.ini into labelled controls, and the Console sends admin commands without joining the game. After a Palworld 1.0 patch, take a backup and restart: the server installs the new build before the world loads.
