⚙️Customizing Palworld Rules

Your World, Your Rules. 🌍 Want to level up faster? Hatch eggs instantly? Or maybe just stop losing your stuff when you die? You can change all of this in the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

📂 Step 1: Finding the Secret File

This file is hidden deep in the server folders. Follow this path exactly:

1. Go to your Witchly Panel > Files.

2. Click the folders in this order:

   Pal ➡️ Saved ➡️ Config ➡️ LinuxServer

3. Inside LinuxServer, find the file named: PalWorldSettings.ini

4. Click to edit it.

⚠️ Is the file empty?

If you open the file and it is completely blank, do not panic!

This is normal for a new server. You need to copy-paste the "Default Settings" code into it first.

• [Click here to get the Default Settings Code] (Link to a Pastebin or your own snippet)

  (If it already has text, just skip to Step 2).

📝 Step 2: The Cheat Sheet

The file looks like a big wall of text. Don't let it scare you! You just need to find the specific word and change the number next to it.

Here are the most popular settings:
