Most Palworld server settings are changed from PalWorldSettings.ini. Use Config Editor for common fields such as server name, password, admin password, rates, PvP, raids, and Pal settings.
- Open your Palworld server in the control panel.
- Click Configuration Files.
- Find
PalWorldSettings.ini, then click Config Editor.
- Edit the setting you need. The top section contains server identity, password, admin password, crossplay, and basic server fields.
- Scroll further down for gameplay, camp, collection, PvP, player, and Pal modifiers.
- Click Save & Exit.
- Restart the server so Palworld reloads the updated settings.
