Palworld features supply drops that appear at regular intervals and can contain useful resources. In this guide, you will learn how to manually change the supply drop frequency on your ZAP-Hosting Palworld game server by editing the correct configuration file and applying the changes properly.
The setting for the supply drop frequency is called SupplyDropSpan.
This value defines the interval between supply drops in minutes.
In the PalWorldSettings.ini file, Palworld server settings are mostly stored in the line starting with OptionSettings. You need to find the existing settings block and check if SupplyDropSpan is already present.
If yes, change the value.
If not, add it within the OptionSettings=(...) section together with the other comma-separated settings.
Use the following format:
SupplyDropSpan=[your_value]
Replace [your_value] with the number of minutes you want to use.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
SupplyDropSpan=180 | Default interval of 3 hours |
SupplyDropSpan=60 | Supply drops every 1 hour |
SupplyDropSpan=360 | Supply drops every 6 hours |
SupplyDropSpan=30 | Very frequent supply drops |
Here is how the setting might look within the complete OptionSettings block:
OptionSettings=(Difficulty=None,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,ExpRate=1.000000,PalCaptureRate=1.000000,PalSpawnNumRate=1.000000,PalDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PalDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,PalStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,BuildObjectDamageRate=1.000000,BuildObjectDeteriorationDamageRate=1.000000,CollectionDropRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectHpRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=1.000000,EnemyDropItemRate=1.000000,DeathPenalty=All,bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage=False,bEnableFriendlyFire=False,bEnableInvaderEnemy=True,bActiveUNKO=False,bEnableAimAssistPad=True,bEnableAimAssistKeyboard=False,DropItemMaxNum=3000,DropItemMaxNum_UNKO=100,BaseCampMaxNum=128,BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=15,DropItemAliveMaxHours=1.000000,bAutoResetGuildNoOnlinePlayers=False,AutoResetGuildTimeNoOnlinePlayers=72.000000,GuildPlayerMaxNum=20,PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=72.000000,WorkSpeedRate=1.000000,bIsMultiplay=False,bIsPvP=False,CanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop=False,bEnableNonLoginPenalty=True,bEnableFastTravel=True,bIsStartLocationSelectByMap=True,bExistPlayerAfterLogout=False,bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer=False,CoopPlayerMaxNum=4,ServerPlayerMaxNum=32,ServerName="zaphosting",ServerDescription="",AdminPassword="",ServerPassword="",PublicPort=8211,PublicIP="",RCONEnabled=False,RCONPort=25575,Region="",bUseAuth=True,BanListURL="https://api.palworldgame.com/api/banlist.txt",SupplyDropSpan=60)
Maintain syntax
Do not remove commas, parentheses, or other existing values in the OptionSettings line. A formatting error in this line can prevent the server from loading the configuration correctly.
After editing the value:
- Save the changes in
PalWorldSettings.ini. - Restart your Palworld server via the ZAP-Hosting game server management.
A restart is required because Palworld does not apply this gameplay setting live while the server is running.
Normally, no further in-game or console command is necessary for this change. Restarting the server is the required step to load the updated SupplyDropSpan value.
| Action | Required |
|---|---|
Edit PalWorldSettings.ini | Yes |
Add or change SupplyDropSpan | Yes |
| Execute additional console command | No |
| Restart server after saving | Yes |
