Palworld allows you to control the maximum number of bases each guild can place on your server. In this guide, you'll learn how to manually edit the correct configuration file in your ZapX customer account, change the BaseCampMaxNumInGuild setting, and activate the change by restarting the server.
In the PalWorldSettings.ini file, find the OptionSettings section. The setting you need to change is:
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=[your_value]
Replace [your_value] with the number of bases each guild is allowed to place at most.
For example, if you want to allow up to 6 bases per guild, the entry should look like this:
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=6
If the setting already exists, just change the value. If it’s missing, add it within the existing OptionSettings parameter list in the file.
Default and Vanilla Maximum
Current reference values show the default is 4 and the normal vanilla maximum is 10. Values above 10 are generally not supported on an unmodified Palworld server.
| Configuration Key | Description | Default Value | Vanilla Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild | Maximum number of bases per guild | 4 | 10 |
Use Valid Values
Set BaseCampMaxNumInGuild only to a reasonable, supported value. Values above 10 usually require server-side modding and may not work correctly on a standard Palworld server.
After saving the file, restart your Palworld server via the server management.
A restart is necessary because Palworld only reads the PalWorldSettings.ini configuration at server startup. Without a restart, the new guild base limit will usually not be applied.
After changing BaseCampMaxNumInGuild, no additional console commands are usually required. After the restart, the new value should be active automatically.
| Action | Required |
|---|---|
Save PalWorldSettings.ini | Yes |
| Restart server | Yes |
| Run additional commands | No |
Test the New Limit After restarting, you can connect with a guild on the server and test the base placement limit to ensure the new setting works as expected.
