Palworld Server Game Settings
How to change the Palworld Game Settings (PalWorldSettings.ini file) using Docker Environment variables.
With Environment Variables
warning
These Environment Variables and Settings are subject to change since the game is still in beta.
Check out the official webpage for the supported parameters.
Converting server settings to environment variables follow the same principles (with some exceptions):
- all capital letters
- split words by inserting an underscore
- remove the single letter if the setting starts with one (like 'b')
For example:
- Difficulty -> DIFFICULTY
- PalSpawnNumRate -> PAL_SPAWN_NUM_RATE
- bIsPvP -> IS_PVP

Manually
info
Manually changing the PalWorldSettings.ini requires you to set DISABLE_GENERATE_SETTINGS to true
in the environment settings
When the server starts, a PalWorldSettings.ini file will be created in the following location: <mount_folder>/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini
Please keep in mind that the ENV variables will always overwrite the changes made to PalWorldSettings.ini.
warning
Changes can only be made to PalWorldSettings.ini while the server is off.
Any changes made while the server is live will be overwritten when the server stops.
