Palworld: Change HP Regeneration

Introduction

Palworld allows you to change regeneration settings for both players and Pals through the main server configuration. In this guide, you will learn how to edit the correct config file in the ZAP-Hosting web interface, adjust HP regeneration values, and apply the changes properly.

Preparation

Before you begin, make sure that your Palworld server is online and that you can access its web administration through the ZAP-Hosting panel.

Configuration Access Requirement

You need access to your game server administration and the Configs area to edit the Palworld configuration files manually.

Open the Palworld Configuration File

To change HP regeneration, you need to edit the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

In the ZAP-Hosting game server administration:

1. Open your Palworld server.
2. Navigate to Configs.
3. Open the file PalWorldSettings.ini.

This file contains the main gameplay configuration values for your server, including player and Pal health regeneration multipliers.

Manual Configuration Changes

Depending on your current configuration, settings may appear in a long parameter line within the OptionSettings section. You should edit the existing values carefully and keep the formatting intact.

Change HP Regeneration Values

The HP regeneration settings are stored as numeric multipliers. A value of 1.0 uses the default regeneration speed.

Supported Regeneration Settings

Use the following configuration keys in PalWorldSettings.ini:

Config key	Description	Default value
PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate	Player natural HP regeneration rate	1.0
PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep	Player HP regeneration while sleeping	1.0
PalAutoHPRegeneRate	Pal natural HP regeneration rate	1.0
PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep	Pal HP regeneration while sleeping in the Palbox	1.0

Value Behavior

You can use the following value logic when you change regeneration:

Value	Effect
1.0	Default regeneration speed
Greater than 1.0	Faster healing
Less than 1.0	Slower healing
0.0	Disables regeneration

Choosing Good Regeneration Values

If you want a slightly easier survival experience, try values such as 1.5 or 2.0. If you want a more challenging setup, use values below 1.0 or disable regeneration entirely with 0.0.

Edit the Configuration Entries

In most Palworld server setups, these values are located inside the OptionSettings=(...) line of PalWorldSettings.ini.

Example Configuration

Add the entries if they are missing, or change the existing values if they are already present:

OptionSettings=(PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=1.0,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.0,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=1.0,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.0)

For example, if you want faster natural healing for players and Pals, you could use:

OptionSettings=(PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=2.0,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=2.0,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=2.0,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=2.0)

If you only want to change specific values, adjust only those entries and leave the rest of your existing OptionSettings values unchanged.

Preserve Existing OptionSettings Values

Do not delete unrelated entries from the OptionSettings line. This section usually contains many gameplay settings, and removing them can unintentionally reset other parts of your server configuration.

Save and Apply the Changes

After editing the file, save your changes in the ZAP-Hosting Configs area.

To apply the new regeneration settings, restart your Palworld server.

Restart the Server

1. Save the edited PalWorldSettings.ini file.
2. Return to your server administration.
3. Restart the server.

A restart is required because Palworld reads these gameplay settings during server startup.

Restart Required

The HP regeneration changes will not take effect immediately while the server is running. You must restart the server after saving the configuration.

Verify the New Regeneration Settings

After the server has restarted, join your server and test the new healing behavior in-game.

You can verify the change by checking:

• player natural HP recovery
• player healing while sleeping
• Pal natural HP recovery
• Pal healing behavior in the Palbox while sleeping

If the regeneration does not behave as expected, reopen PalWorldSettings.ini and confirm that:

• the config keys are spelled exactly correctly
• the values use valid decimal numbers such as 1.0 or 2.0
• the entries remain inside the OptionSettings section
• the server was restarted after saving
