Palworld servers have many customization options available that can drastically change how players interact with the server. Players can change settings such as XP gain rate, gather rates, and more to either add challenges to servers or make them easier. In addition, there are additional options to increase crossplay compatibility, the max number of bases in a guild, or pals in a base, and much more. Certain settings include maximum values and may require more server RAM to run effectively.

Note: Make backups locally to avoid losing any necessary files.

1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Select the Settings tab and choose Server Settings.

4. Edit the desired settings. Changes are applied automatically.

5. Start the server.
