Palworld Dedicated Server: Setup & Optimization Guide

You can launch a Palworld server from Create Server and tune Pal count, RAM, and world settings before your group starts exploring.

Quick Setup

Create Palworld server (minimum 4 GB RAM, recommended 8 GB)
Default port: 8211 (UDP)
Connect via Join Multiplayer Game → Enter IP:Port

Editions

Steam — PC, mod support
Xbox/Game Pass — Crossplay between Xbox and Game Pass PC
⚠️ Steam and Xbox players CANNOT play together

Key Settings (PalWorldSettings.ini)

Performance Optimization

Palworld's dedicated server is CPU- and memory-hungry, especially with many bases and Pals. To keep tick rate smooth:

CPU: Palworld can be deployed from /create-server; consult the live game page for current requirements.
RAM: memory use grows with world age and base count. Budget ~0.5 GB per active player on top of the base 4 GB, and pick 12 GB for 24–32 slots.
Scheduled restarts: the server process leaks memory over long uptimes. Enable a daily automated restart in the dashboard (off-peak) to reclaim RAM and reduce lag spikes.
Backups: enable automatic daily backups; always back up Pal/Saved/ before a game update, since save formats can change.
Network: port 8211 is UDP. If you use a Dedicated IP, the port stays stable through resizes so players never have to re-add the server.

Recommended Tuning (PalWorldSettings.ini)

; Reduce world-object load for large servers
CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=1.500000
; Cap concurrent Pals per base to limit CPU cost
BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=15
; Keep player count matched to your plan's vCPU/RAM
ServerPlayerMaxNum=16

Tips

Auto-save interval: adjust AutoSaveSpan in server settings (lower = safer, higher = less I/O).
Regular restarts help with memory management.
Backup world before updating the game.
Steam and Xbox players cannot share a server — pick the right edition before launch.
