Introduction

Palworld allows you to modify the damage your Pals deal and receive by adjusting the damage multiplier settings on the server. In this guide, you will learn which configuration file to edit in your ZapX customer account, which values to change, and how to correctly apply the new settings.

Edit the Pal damage multiplier values

Inside the PalWorldSettings.ini file, find the OptionSettings section. The settings for the Pal damage multiplier are stored as configuration keys in this section.

You need to adjust the following entries:

Configuration KeyDefault ValuePurpose
PalDamageRateAttack1.000000Controls how much damage your Pals deal
PalDamageRateDefense1.000000Controls how much damage your Pals receive

Example configuration

If the keys already exist, change their values to the desired multiplier. If they are missing, add them inside the OptionSettings entry.

ini
PalDamageRateAttack=1.500000
PalDamageRateDefense=0.800000

Meaning of the values

Use the following behavior as a reference when choosing your multiplier values:

Value changeEffect
Higher PalDamageRateAttackYour Pals deal more damage
Lower PalDamageRateAttackYour Pals deal less damage
Higher PalDamageRateDefenseYour Pals receive more damage due to a less favorable defense balance with the increased multiplier
Lower PalDamageRateDefenseYour Pals receive less damage
Warning

Carefully check multiplier values Palworld server settings use numeric multiplier values. Only enter valid decimal numbers like 0.500000, 1.000000, or 2.000000. Invalid formats may prevent the server from loading the configuration correctly.

Restart the server

After saving the updated configuration, restart your Palworld server so the new damage multiplier settings take effect.

No additional console commands are required after editing the file. A full server restart is sufficient to apply the changes.
