Introduction

Palworld offers randomizer settings that affect how pals spawn in your game world. In this guide, you'll learn how to manually enable and configure randomized pals on your ZAP-Hosting Palworld game server by editing the correct configuration file.

Configure Randomized Pals

The randomizer settings are stored as keys in the PalWorldSettings.ini file. You need to find the existing settings block and manually adjust the relevant values.

Overview of Randomizer Settings

Use the following configuration keys for randomized pal spawns:

Config KeyAllowed ValuesDefaultPurpose
RandomizerTypeNone, RegionNoneControls whether randomized pal spawns are disabled or randomized by region
bIsRandomizerPalLevelRandomTrue, FalseFalseEnables fully random wild pal levels when set to True
RandomizerSeed[your_seed_value] or empty""Defines the seed used during world creation
Warning

Compatibility with Dedicated Servers The value All has been reported as incompatible with Palworld Dedicated Servers. Use only supported values like None or Region.

Example Configuration

Add or adjust the following values in your PalWorldSettings.ini file:

ini
RandomizerType=Region
bIsRandomizerPalLevelRandom=True
RandomizerSeed="zaphosting"

Replace zaphosting with your own seed value if you want a specific randomization pattern. A seed ensures the same random pattern is used each time the world is created.

Meaning of Each Setting

RandomizerType

This setting controls whether pal spawns are randomized.

  • None disables randomization
  • Region enables regional randomization of pal spawns

If you want randomized pals on your Palworld world map, set this value to Region.

bIsRandomizerPalLevelRandom

This setting controls the levels of wild pals.

  • False keeps normal level behavior
  • True enables fully random wild pal levels

This makes Palworld gameplay especially unpredictable in early progression.

RandomizerSeed

This optional setting defines the seed used during world creation for randomization.

Example:

ini
RandomizerSeed="[your_seed_value]"

Replace [your_seed_value] with any text or number you want to use as the seed.

Info

Seed Behavior The randomizer seed is applied during world creation. Changing RandomizerSeed later in an existing world will have no effect unless you reset the world or start a new one.

Save and Apply Changes

After editing the file, save your changes in the ZAP-Hosting Configuration tab.

Then restart your Palworld game server so the updated configuration is loaded.

ActionRequired
Save PalWorldSettings.iniYes
Restart serverYes
Run additional console commandsNo
Reset world for seed changes on existing saveYes, if RandomizerSeed was changed
Tip

When to Start a New World If you enable randomization for the first time, especially with your own RandomizerSeed, it's best to use a fresh world so the settings take effect as intended.
