Introduction

Palworld raids are attacks by invaders targeting player bases on your server. This guide shows you how to enable or disable raids by manually editing the correct configuration file in the ZAP-Hosting game server management.

Preparation

Before you start, make sure you have access to your Palworld game server via the ZAP-Hosting web interface and have permission to edit server configuration files.

Info

Manual configuration required This setup is done by manually editing the Palworld server configuration in the Configuration tab of your game server management. After saving changes, you must restart the server for the new setting to take effect.

Find the correct configuration file

To enable or disable raids, you need to edit the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

In the ZAP-Hosting game server management:

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

This file contains the main gameplay configuration values for your Palworld server, including the setting that controls whether raids are enabled.

Edit the raid setting

Look for the OptionSettings section in the PalWorldSettings.ini file. The relevant configuration key is:

ini

bEnableInvaderEnemy=True

This setting controls whether invader attacks are active on the server.

Enable raids

To enable raids, set the value to True:

ini

bEnableInvaderEnemy=True

With this value, hostile attacks on player bases can occur periodically during gameplay.

Disable raids

To disable raids, set the value to False:

ini

bEnableInvaderEnemy=False

This completely disables invader attacks, allowing for quieter building and can slightly reduce server load.

Configuration overview

Use the following table as a quick reference for the raid setting:

Configuration File	Configuration Key	Value	Effect
`PalWorldSettings.ini`	`bEnableInvaderEnemy`	`True`	Enables raids and invader attacks
`PalWorldSettings.ini`	`bEnableInvaderEnemy`	`False`	Disables all raids and invader attacks

Info

Default behavior The default behavior of the Palworld server is usually bEnableInvaderEnemy=True, so raids are enabled by default unless you manually change the setting.

Save and apply changes

After editing the value in PalWorldSettings.ini, save the file in the ZAP-Hosting Configuration tab.

Then you must restart your Palworld server for the updated configuration to load.

Restart the server

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

Warning

Restart required If you do not restart the server, the changed raid setting may not take effect. Editing the file alone is not enough.

Verify the setting

After restarting, your new raid configuration should be active.

If bEnableInvaderEnemy=True, raids are enabled.
If bEnableInvaderEnemy=False, raids are disabled.

If the setting does not seem to apply, open PalWorldSettings.ini again and check that the value is saved correctly without formatting errors.

Tip

Peaceful base building Disabling raids can be useful if you want to focus on exploration, base building, or relaxed co-op gameplay without periodic enemy attacks.
