If you want to play at high difficulty, increase the maximum number of base Pals to 20.
No Death Penalty Is Recommended
For those new to the game and unfamiliar with its mechanics, it's advisable to opt for the setting where "No Drops" to minimize the risk of incurring death penalties. Given the numerous bugs present at the time of release, it's a good idea to choose the no-drop option to avoid potential total losses.
Death Penalty Choices
- No drops
- Drop all items except equipment
- Drop all items
- Drop all items and all Pals on team
| Note！ | If you drop an important item or a Pal due to the death penalty, you can still retrieve those at the location where you got knocked out. |

How To Change Dedicated Server Settings

PalWorldSettings.ini File Location
| Windows File Directory |
| \steamapps\common\PalServer\ Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer |
Update The Parts You Want To Change And Save By Overwriting The File
While the server is in a stopped state, rewrite each item in the file to the desired numerical values. Once the overwrite is complete, start the server and confirm if the settings have been loaded.
| Note！ | Please note that you cannot modify settings while the server is being used! |
