How much RAM and disk does Palworld need?

8 GB of RAM to start and 12 GB of disk. Each plan gives the server its own RAM: Pro 8 GB, Studio 16 GB and Ultra 32 GB. A grown base with a full group uses the most, and captured pals and buildings grow the save faster than in other games.

How often is a Palworld world saved?

The server autosaves every few minutes while it is up, and from Pro we add an automatic copy every day. If a base gets corrupted you restore the previous copy from the panel.

Can I change the difficulty and the capture rate?

Yes. Edit PalWorldSettings.ini from the file manager: experience, capture rate, damage and raid hours. Restart and the world carries on where it was.

Can Palworld run mods?

Yes, by uploading the files from the manager. Bear in mind that Palworld mods change with every game patch: if one breaks the boot you see it in the console and remove it.

Palworld dedicated server with your own rules

In co-op Palworld the world lives on the host's PC and closes when they log off. A Palworld dedicated server keeps the island running: your base keeps its Pals at work, the day and night cycle goes on and anyone in the group can play without waiting for the host. We run the official dedicated server from Pocketpair, version v1.0.5.102999, updated when a game patch lands.

The server rates that shape a run (experience, capture rate, day and night speed and the death penalty) are settings in the panel, and an hourly autosave task is scheduled from the first start. Palworld is a heavy game for a server: a grown base with many Pals and buildings fills memory fast, which is why it starts on the bigger plans and why the RAM table on this page matters.

Set up a Palworld server for your group

Sign in, open the create wizard and pick Palworld; the wizard only offers the plans with enough memory for it.
Write the server name and description players will see in the community server list, if you choose to appear there.
Set a server password for your group and an admin password for yourself; keep them different.
Adjust experience, capture rate and death penalty now or later, then start the server and wait for the console to report it is listening.
In Palworld choose Join Multiplayer Game, type the address and the port from the panel in the box at the bottom and connect.

Connecting and staying admin

Players join with the address and port shown on the overview, plus the server password if you set one. To get admin rights in game, open chat and log in with the admin password; from there you can kick, ban and teleport without leaving the session. The panel console also sends announcements to everyone online.

Rates, death penalty and community list

Experience, capture rate and day and night speed are percentages from 10 % to 2000 %, so 200 % doubles a rate. The death penalty decides what you drop: nothing, items, items and equipment, or everything, Pals included. PvP is off by default. Slots go up to 32 within your plan. Turn on the community server list so the server appears in the game's list; Xbox and PS5 players can only join that way. It is off by default.

Why Palworld needs so much RAM

The server boots on 8 GB of RAM, and memory use grows with the number of Pals, bases and buildings on the map. 16 GB keeps a long run with a full group stable. The save also grows steadily, so 12 GB of disk leaves room for it and for the hourly backups.

Console, saves and recovery

The console lists players, shows server info and metrics, and saves on demand. If a patch or a mod breaks the world, restore the last backup from the panel; the hourly autosave keeps the loss small. Mods go in through the file manager, and the console shows which one stops the boot.

When the server will not let you in

If the game shows a version mismatch, your client and the server are on different patches: update the game, or wait for the server update after a release. A wrong password returns you to the menu without much explanation, so check it first. If the server restarts on its own under load, the console shows an out-of-memory stop; fewer Pals per base or more RAM fixes it.
