Palworld is the creature-collecting survival hit where you catch, breed, and put Pals to work while building bases, crafting weapons, and exploring an open world. On a dedicated server, up to 32 players share one persistent world that keeps running even when everyone logs off — no host required, no session limits, no “the host went to bed” problem. Running your own server also means running the game your way. Every rate and rule is yours to change: XP and capture rates, day/night speed, death penalties, PvP on or off, base limits, and much more. This section covers everything from joining your server for the first time to fine-tuning performance. Your Palworld server at Wasabi Hosting is managed through the Wasabi Hosting Game Panel, which includes a live Console, File Manager, Backups, Schedules, and Startup parameter editing.

​
Why Run a Dedicated Server?

Always online

The world persists 24/7. Friends can play, build, and breed Pals whenever they want — nobody has to host from their own PC.

Up to 32 players

Co-op sessions cap out at 4 players. A dedicated server raises that to 32, perfect for communities and larger friend groups.

Custom rates and rules

Boost XP, tweak capture rates, slow the nights, soften the death penalty, or crank the difficulty — every setting is configurable.

PvP or PvE — your call

Enable player-vs-player damage and friendly fire for a competitive server, or keep things cooperative. You decide.

​
What You Control

All of the important gameplay settings live in PalWorldSettings.ini, which you can edit directly in the panel’s File Manager:
  • World rates — XP, Pal capture, Pal spawn, resource collection, and item drop multipliers
  • Difficulty — damage dealt/taken for players and Pals, hunger and stamina drain, death penalty (None, Item, ItemAndEquipment, or All)
  • PvP settings — player-to-player damage, friendly fire, and enemy raids
  • Server identity — name, description, password, max players, and admin password
  • Guild and base limits — guild size, base count, and workers per base
See the server configuration guide for a full walkthrough of every setting, including ready-made presets for casual, balanced, hardcore, and PvP servers.

Why Host Palworld with Wasabi?

Palworld’s world simulation is demanding: every Pal working at every base is simulated server-side, so CPU speed matters more than almost anything else.
  • AMD Ryzen 7950X3D / 9950X CPUs — high single-core performance keeps the world simulation smooth even with dozens of active bases
  • DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs — Palworld servers are memory-hungry, and fast storage means quick saves and restarts
  • DDoS protection included — GCore-backed protection with 200+ Tbps capacity at no extra cost, on our own network (AS215370)
  • Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Ashburn (US East) locations for low ping in Europe and North America
  • Instant setup — your server deploys about 2 minutes after payment, and upgrades keep all your files
