Palworld dedicated servers can be uploaded from either the co-op or other dedicated servers. While this typically results in losing some player data on Windows servers, migrating from dedicated Linux servers is much less risky. It can be done with minimal risk of losing any data. The community has found ways to help Windows dedicated servers transfer their saves without losing the player data by directly editing the files themselves.
Note: Transferring a save to a dedicated server may result in lost progress! Player saves may be fixed by following the instructions here. Make any backups locally to preserve server data.
1. Download the world save from the desired server located in the Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0 directory. Some providers may require an SFTP Client.
2. If the file is zipped, extract the save to an empty folder.
3. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
4. Start the server.
5. After a complete start, stop the server.
6. Go to the Files tab.
7. Find the following directory: /home/Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0
8. Right-click the world folder and press Delete.
