Introduction

Palworld gives you control over how many resources players collect and how quickly collectible objects respawn. In this guide, you'll learn how to manually edit the correct configuration file on your ZAP-Hosting game server to change the Collection Drop Rate and related resource settings.

Edit the collection settings

Palworld stores many gameplay options as key-value pairs in the OptionSettings section of the PalWorldSettings.ini file. To increase gathered resources or change the respawn speed of resources, you need to adjust the corresponding values there.

Relevant configuration keys

Use the following settings for collection behavior:

Config KeyDefault ValueDescription
CollectionDropRate1.000000Controls how many items players receive from collectible resources. Higher values increase the amount.
CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate1.000000Controls how quickly collectible objects respawn. Higher values speed up resource return.
CollectionObjectHpRate1.000000Controls the HP of collectible objects like stones or trees. Higher values usually make them harder to destroy.

Example configuration values

If you want to double the gathered resources and halve the respawn time of resources, set both values to 2.000000.

ini
CollectionDropRate=2.000000
CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=2.000000

If collectible objects should also be easier to destroy, you can reduce the HP multiplier:

ini
CollectionObjectHpRate=0.500000
Tip

Recommended starting values A value of 2.000000 is a common starting point for CollectionDropRate and CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate. This achieves noticeably faster progression without drastically changing the Palworld gameplay.

Save and restart the server

After editing the file, save your changes in the Configuration tab (raw text view).

Restart required

Palworld does not immediately apply these gameplay configuration changes while the server is running. You must restart the server after saving for the new values to take effect.

ActionRequired
Save PalWorldSettings.iniYes
Restart serverYes
Additional console commandNo confirmed command needed
Info

Restart necessary A full server restart is required after changes to CollectionDropRate, CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate, or CollectionObjectHpRate. No additional in-game or console commands are needed for these settings.
