Example result
Example: the generated PalWorldSettings.ini
You set the options using a form or AI Easy Mode, and the generator creates the finished PalWorldSettings.ini for Palworld live. Below are the first lines of the default configuration; your file contains your values and all other settings.

Palworld server configuration: What you can set in PalWorldSettings.ini
Palworld server settings, often called world settings, are divided into six sections in the generator. The key in the OptionSettings line appears in parentheses. Rates are multipliers: 1.0 is the default, 2.0 doubles it, and 0.5 halves it.
Server identity
Server name (ServerName), description (ServerDescription), server password (ServerPassword), admin password (AdminPassword), and maximum player count (ServerPlayerMaxNum, 1–32, default 32).
Difficulty & rates
Difficulty preset (Difficulty: None, Casual, Normal, Hard), day and night speed (DayTimeSpeedRate, NightTimeSpeedRate), XP rate (ExpRate), capture rate (PalCaptureRate), wild Pal spawns (PalSpawnNumRate), resource drops (CollectionDropRate), and Pal work speed (WorkSpeedRate).
Combat & PvP
PvP (bIsPvP), player-to-player damage (bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage), friendly fire between guild members (bEnableFriendlyFire), and multipliers for player damage dealt and received (PlayerDamageRateAttack, PlayerDamageRateDefense).
Death penalty
What players lose on death (DeathPenalty): None lets them keep everything, Item (default) drops items, ItemAndEquipment also drops equipment, and All also loses your Pal team. Plus the penalty for being offline for a long time (bEnableNonLoginPenalty).
Multiplayer & guilds
Multiplayer toggle (bIsMultiplay), maximum guild size (GuildPlayerMaxNum, 1–100, default 20), and maximum co-op party size (CoopPlayerMaxNum, 1–8, default 4).
Administration
Enable or disable RCON for external admin tools (RCONEnabled) and set the RCON port (RCONPort, default 25575).
The generator covers a selection of 25 settings. Any Difficulty value other than None overrides most individual rates. PublicPort and PublicIP are deliberately excluded from the form because they depend on the server's network configuration.
Guide
How to configure your Palworld server with PalWorldSettings.ini
From the first setting to a running server: here's how to apply your Palworld server settings.
- 1
Step 1
Open generator
The generator starts with the default PalWorldSettings.ini values, which you can see immediately in the live preview. If you already have a file, paste its contents into the import field or upload it (.ini or .txt, up to 2 MB).
- 2
Step 2
Choose Easy Mode or the form
In “Easy” mode, describe your server in your own words, such as “a PvP server where you lose everything on death, including Pals.” AI suggests suitable values and explains each change; only the suggestions you select are applied. In “Advanced” mode, you set every option yourself.
- 3
Step 3
Configure Palworld server settings
Set the server name, passwords, and player count; choose the difficulty preset, XP and capture rates, PvP, death penalty, guild and co-op sizes, and RCON. Leave Difficulty set to None if you want your custom rates to apply.
- 4
Step 4
Check live preview
The preview shows the finished file with exactly two lines: the section header and the OptionSettings line. The generator flags invalid values.
- 5
Step 5
Copy, download, or share
Copy the contents, download PalWorldSettings.ini, or share a link. Server and admin passwords are never included in a share link.
- 6
Step 6
Put the file on your server
On a self-hosted server, stop the server, replace the file in Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ (or Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ on Windows), and restart it. On a ZAP-Hosting server, set the server name, passwords, and player count using the startup parameters in the panel, because the file is regenerated on every start.
Setup
File location & usage
If you self-host, upload the file. With us, change the server name, passwords, and player count using the startup parameters in the panel.

Palworld reads PalWorldSettings.ini only at startup — restart your server for the changes to take effect.
The ZAP-Hosting way
Startup parameters in the panel

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
File location, 2-line format, settings that don't take effect, death penalty, Easy Mode, and security—briefly explained.
At Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ or WindowsServer/.
On Linux, the file is at Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini; on Windows, it is at Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\PalWorldSettings.ini. On a ZAP-Hosting server, you can view it in the Customer Panel's File Manager, but the server image regenerates it on every start.
Palworld requires this format: an extra line causes the server to load the default values.
PalWorldSettings.ini must contain exactly 2 lines: the section header [/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings] and a single OptionSettings line containing all settings as a comma-separated tuple. Unlike most of our generators, this one deliberately adds no comment header: that would make the file invalid for Palworld, causing the server to load all default values instead.
Restart the server, set Difficulty to None, and check the 2-line format.
Palworld reads PalWorldSettings.ini only at startup, so you need to restart the server after replacing the file. If Difficulty is set to Casual, Normal, or Hard, the preset overrides most individual rates, such as ExpRate or PalCaptureRate. Your custom values apply only with None. An extra line or comment in the file causes the server to load the default values. On a ZAP-Hosting server, the server image regenerates the file on every start: change the server name, server and admin passwords, and player count using the startup parameters in the panel. The other settings do not yet have startup parameters and are lost on the next start.
None, Item, ItemAndEquipment, or All.
DeathPenalty has four levels: None (players keep everything), Item, the default (items drop, equipment stays), ItemAndEquipment (items and equipment drop, Pals stay), and All (items, equipment, and your Pal team are lost). For a PvP server with full loss, choose All and enable PvP and player-to-player damage.
Describe what you want instead of clicking: AI suggests suitable values.
Describe the server you want in your own words, such as “small co-op server with faster leveling and easier captures.” AI suggests suitable settings and explains each change. You choose which suggestions to apply; nothing changes without your confirmation. Server and admin passwords are not sent to the AI.
Yes, by pasting it or uploading a file up to 2 MB.
Yes. Paste the contents of your PalWorldSettings.ini into the import field or upload the file (.ini or .txt, up to 2 MB). The detected values appear in the form, where you can adjust them further.
No. Server and admin passwords stay hidden and are never included in a share link.
Server and admin passwords are not saved in share links and are masked in the form. A share link contains only the non-secret values you deliberately changed.
Free, no sign-up required.
The generator is free to use without signing up: the form, Easy Mode, import, copying, downloading, and sharing all work without an account. PalWorldSettings.ini is generated directly in your browser. Only for Easy Mode suggestions are your description and the current values, without the server and admin passwords, sent to the AI.
