Introduction

Palworld allows you to control how players use fast travel on your game server through the main server configuration. In this guide, you will learn how to edit the correct config file in your ZapX customer account, adjust the fast travel settings, and apply the changes properly.

Preparation

Before you start, make sure you have access to your Palworld game server in the ZapX customer account and permission to edit the configuration files.

Info

Manual configuration required This setup is done by manually editing the Palworld server configuration. You can find the required file in the Gameserver Management under the Configuration tab.

Locate the configuration file

To change the behavior of fast travel, you need to edit the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

In the ZAP-Hosting Gameserver panel:

Open your Palworld game server.
Open the Configuration tab (raw text view).
Open the file PalWorldSettings.ini.

This file contains gameplay-relevant server settings, including options for fast travel.

Info

Configuration location Depending on the current panel layout, the file is managed via the Configuration tab (raw text view) in your server management. If the exact path is not shown in the interface, you can still safely edit the required values directly in PalWorldSettings.ini.

Understand the fast travel settings

Palworld offers two relevant configuration keys for fast travel behavior.

Config Key	Value Type	Default Value	Function
`bEnableFastTravel`	`True` / `False`	`True`	Enables or disables fast travel completely
`bEnableFastTravelOnlyBaseCamp`	`True` / `False`	`False`	Restricts fast travel to travel between bases

These values are part of the options string in the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

Tip

Choosing the right setting If you want a more immersive travel experience with more exploration, you can disable fast travel completely. If you want to keep travel available but limit player mobility, base-only fast travel is usually the better choice.

Edit the fast travel values

Open PalWorldSettings.ini and find the section OptionSettings=. In Palworld, many server settings are stored as comma-separated values in this entry.

Enable normal fast travel

To allow standard fast travel, make sure the following value is present:

ini

bEnableFastTravel=True

If players should be able to use all normal fast travel options, also set this value:

ini

bEnableFastTravelOnlyBaseCamp=False

Disable fast travel completely

To turn off fast travel entirely, set:

ini

bEnableFastTravel=False

Then players must travel manually through the world.

Allow fast travel only between bases

If you want to allow fast travel only between base camps, use this combination:

ini

bEnableFastTravel=True,bEnableFastTravelOnlyBaseCamp=True

This setting is especially popular on PvP servers as it allows limited travel without giving players unrestricted movement.

Warning

Do not change syntax Do not remove other existing values from the OptionSettings= line unless you intend to change them. Palworld stores many settings in a single comma-separated entry; incorrect formatting can cause settings not to load.

Example configuration

Here is an example of how the relevant part of the configuration in PalWorldSettings.ini might look:

ini

OptionSettings=(Difficulty=None,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,bEnableFastTravel=True,bEnableFastTravelOnlyBaseCamp=True)

Replace the fast travel values in your existing configuration according to the desired setting.

Info

Existing server configurations Your OptionSettings= line usually contains many more values than in the example. You only need to adjust bEnableFastTravel and bEnableFastTravelOnlyBaseCamp and leave the rest of the line unchanged.

Recommended configurations

Depending on your server type, you can use the following combinations:

Server Style	`bEnableFastTravel`	`bEnableFastTravelOnlyBaseCamp`	Result
Standard Gameplay	`True`	`False`	Full fast travel enabled
Exploration Focus	`False`	`False`	No fast travel at all
PvP or restricted travel	`True`	`True`	Fast travel only between bases

Apply changes

After saving your changes in PalWorldSettings.ini, you must restart the server for the new settings to take effect.

Restart the server

Use the restart function in your ZAP-Hosting Gameserver management after saving the file.

Usually, no further in-game or console commands are needed. The new fast travel configuration will be applied on server start.

Info

Restart required Changes to PalWorldSettings.ini are only reliably applied after restarting the Palworld server.

Verify the result

Once the server is back online, connect and test the fast travel behavior in-game.

You should check that:

full fast travel works if enabled
no fast travel options are available if disabled
only travel between bases is possible if base-only is enabled

Tip

Troubleshooting incorrect behavior If the setting does not take effect, open PalWorldSettings.ini again and check the formatting of the OptionSettings= line, especially for missing commas, duplicate keys, or invalid True / False values.
