Palworld: Max Guild Players

Introduction​

Palworld allows you to control how many players can join a single guild on your server. In this guide, you will learn how to manually change the maximum guild players limit by editing the correct configuration file in your ZAP-Hosting game server administration.

Preparation​

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

Configuration Access Requirement

You need access to your Palworld server administration and the Configs section, because this setting must be changed manually in the server configuration file.

Locate the correct configuration file​

To change the guild player limit, you need to edit the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

In your ZAP-Hosting game server administration:

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

This file contains the main gameplay configuration values for your Palworld server, including guild-related settings.

Edit the max guild players setting​

Inside PalWorldSettings.ini, look for the OptionSettings configuration line. The guild player limit is controlled by the GuildPlayerMaxNum key.

Configuration value​

Use the following setting to define the maximum number of players allowed in one guild:

GuildPlayerMaxNum=[your_value]

Replace [your_value] with the number of players you want to allow per guild.

Default and example values​

Config keyDescriptionDefault value
GuildPlayerMaxNumMaximum number of players allowed in one guild20

For example, if you want to allow up to 30 players per guild, set:

GuildPlayerMaxNum=30
Edit the Existing OptionSettings Line

In Palworld, server settings are typically stored inside a single OptionSettings=(...) entry. You usually need to change the existing GuildPlayerMaxNum value within that line rather than adding a second duplicate entry.

Example snippet​

Your configuration may look similar to this:

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]
OptionSettings=(GuildPlayerMaxNum=30)

If your file already contains many settings inside OptionSettings=(...), only change the GuildPlayerMaxNum part and leave the other values unchanged.

Avoid Duplicate Keys

Do not add GuildPlayerMaxNum multiple times in the same configuration block. Duplicate keys can cause unexpected behavior or make it unclear which value the server will use.

Save and apply the changes​

After editing the value:

  1. Save the changes in PalWorldSettings.ini
  2. Restart your Palworld server

A restart is required for the new guild players limit to be loaded by the server.

ActionRequired
Save PalWorldSettings.iniYes
Restart serverYes
Additional console commandNo verified command required
Restart Required

The updated max guild players value does not apply immediately while the server is running. You need to fully restart the server after saving the configuration.

Verify the new guild limit​

Once the server has restarted, the new guild size limit should be active for players joining or managing guilds on your Palworld server.

If the change does not appear to apply, check the following:

  • confirm that you edited the correct file: PalWorldSettings.ini
  • confirm that GuildPlayerMaxNum is written correctly
  • confirm that the value is inside the active OptionSettings=(...) configuration
  • confirm that the server restart completed successfully
Configuration Formatting

Palworld configuration files are sensitive to formatting. If you accidentally remove commas, brackets, or other existing values inside OptionSettings=(...), the server may ignore the setting or fail to load it correctly.
