Palworld: Increase Work Speed

Introduction​

Palworld allows you to adjust how quickly players and Pals complete base-related work by changing a server configuration value. In this guide, you will learn how to increase work speed on your ZAP-Hosting Palworld server by editing the correct config file and applying the changes properly.

Preparation​

Before you begin, make sure that you have access to your Palworld game server administration in the ZAP-Hosting web interface.

Manual Configuration Required

This setup is performed manually through the configuration editor. You need to edit the Palworld server configuration file yourself under the Configs section of your game server administration.

Open the Palworld Configuration File​

To change the work speed, you need to edit the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

Where to find the file​

  1. Log in to the ZAP-Hosting website.
  2. Open your Palworld game server administration.
  3. Navigate to Configs.
  4. Open the file named PalWorldSettings.ini.

This file contains the gameplay settings that control rates and multipliers for your Palworld server.

Configuration File Location

In ZAP-Hosting, the relevant file for this change is available directly through your game server administration under Configs. If your server shows multiple configuration files, make sure that you edit PalWorldSettings.ini.

Change the Work Speed Setting​

The setting used to increase work speed is WorkSpeedRate.

What the setting does​

WorkSpeedRate controls how quickly players and Pals perform work-related tasks at your base. The default value is typically 1.0, which means normal speed.

Higher values increase the speed multiplier:

Config keyDefault valueExample valueEffect
WorkSpeedRate1.02.0Double work speed
WorkSpeedRate1.010.0Very fast work speed

Edit the value​

Look for the OptionSettings line inside PalWorldSettings.ini. The WorkSpeedRate entry is stored inside that settings block.

If the entry already exists, change its value. For example:

WorkSpeedRate=1.000000

Change it to a higher value such as:

WorkSpeedRate=2.000000

For a much faster result, you can use a higher multiplier such as:

WorkSpeedRate=10.000000

Example configuration snippet​

Depending on your current file contents, the setting may appear as part of a longer OptionSettings line similar to this:

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]
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=2.000000,bIsMultiplay=False,bIsPvP=False,CanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop=False,bEnableNonLoginPenalty=True,bEnableFastTravel=True,bIsStartLocationSelectByMap=True,bExistPlayerAfterLogout=False,bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer=False,bInvisibleOtherGuildBaseCampAreaFX=False,bBuildAreaLimit=False,ItemWeightRate=1.000000,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")
Edit the Existing Syntax Carefully

PalWorldSettings.ini uses a strict format. Make sure that you only change the value for WorkSpeedRate and do not remove commas, brackets, or quotation marks from the surrounding OptionSettings line.

Save and Restart the Server​

After editing the file, you need to save the changes and restart your Palworld server.

Apply the changes​

  1. Save the updated PalWorldSettings.ini file.
  2. Restart your Palworld game server from the ZAP-Hosting server administration.

A restart is required because Palworld reads these gameplay settings when the server starts. The new work speed value will not apply correctly until the server has restarted.

ActionRequired
Save PalWorldSettings.iniYes
Restart the serverYes
Additional console commandNo
Recommended Testing

Start with a moderate value such as 2.0 and test the result in-game. Extremely high values may make progression much faster than intended, which can affect your overall gameplay balance.

Verify the New Work Speed​

Once the server is back online, join your Palworld server and test work-related activities at your base.

You should notice that players and Pals complete tasks faster than before. If you do not see any change, re-open PalWorldSettings.ini and confirm that:

  • WorkSpeedRate is present
  • the value is set correctly
  • the file was saved successfully
  • the server was fully restarted after the edit
Gameplay Balance

Increasing work speed can significantly change how quickly your base develops. If you want a balanced experience, increase the value gradually instead of setting an extremely high speed immediately.
