3. Navigate to /Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/PalWorldSettings.ini.

Editing WorldOptions.sav (Legacy - Advanced)

Danger

We don’t recommend using WorldOptions. Instead, we suggest you use one of the above options. Using this file will overwrite anything inside PalWorldSettings.ini. This also means if you change the server settings in our panel it will no longer work and you MUST update them though WorldOptions.sav.

You also MUST fill out all the options such as IP, Port, RCON, password etc. correctly otherwise your server will not be discoverable/joinable.

If you’re using an Xbox server you cannot use this file.

1. Generate a WorldOptions.sav file using the settings you want from here (We suggest importing your PalWorldSettings.ini file).
2. Login to the Game Host Bros Panel and once there, select your Palworld Service.
3. Once on your Palworld Service, ensure you stop it before proceeding.
4. Once stopped, on the left, navigate to Management then File Manager.
5. Navigate to Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/YOURWORLDFILE and drag the WorldOptions.sav into the save folder with your LevelMeta.sav and Level.sav.
6. After you have uploaded the file, start the server.
