Palworld allows you to control how many players can join a single guild on your server. In this guide, you'll learn how to manually change the maximum player limit per guild by editing the correct configuration file in your ZAP-Hosting game server management.
In the PalWorldSettings.ini file, look for the configuration line OptionSettings. The guild player limit is controlled by the key GuildPlayerMaxNum.
Use the following setting to specify the maximum number of players per guild:
GuildPlayerMaxNum=[your_value]
Replace [your_value] with the number of players you want to allow per guild.
| Configuration Key | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
GuildPlayerMaxNum | Maximum number of players per guild | 20 |
For example, if you want to allow up to 30 players per guild, set:
GuildPlayerMaxNum=30
Edit Existing OptionSettings Line
In Palworld, server settings are usually stored in a single OptionSettings=(...) line. You should change the existing GuildPlayerMaxNum value in this line instead of adding a second entry.
Your configuration might look like this:
[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]
OptionSettings=(GuildPlayerMaxNum=30)
If your file already contains many settings in OptionSettings=(...), only change the GuildPlayerMaxNum part and leave the other values unchanged.
Avoid Duplicate Keys
Do not add GuildPlayerMaxNum multiple times in the same configuration block. Duplicate keys can cause unexpected behavior or make it unclear which value the server uses.
After editing:
- Save the changes in
PalWorldSettings.ini - Restart your Palworld server
A restart is required for the new guild player limit to be loaded by the server.
| Action | Required |
|---|---|
Save PalWorldSettings.ini | Yes |
| Restart server | Yes |
| Additional console command | No confirmed command necessary |
Restart Required The updated max players per guild value will not apply immediately while the server is running. You must fully restart the server after saving the configuration.
