How To Optimize Your Palworld Server Performance - Palworld Guide

You can enhance your Palworld server performance by implementing the optimization techniques below. These practices can result in a noticeable improvement in most cases.

Daily Restarts

Set up automatic daily restart schedules to manage resource consumption and provide the server a fresh start every 24 hours.

Optimize Configuration

Multiple server settings impact performance negatively. The most critical adjustments are made through the GhostCap Panel under Server Options.

Main Settings

BuildObjectDeteriorationDamageRate — Higher values improve performance (minimum 0.1).
bAutoResetGuildNoOnlinePlayers — Set to True to disband inactive guilds (deletes bases after inactivity).
PalSpawnNumRate — Decrease to spawn fewer creatures.
DropItemMaxNum — Lower values help when drop rates are increased.
ServerReplicatePawnCullDistance — Reduce this value significantly for better performance.
BaseCampWorkerMaxNum — Decrease to reduce server load.
MaxBuildingLimitNum — Set a limit on buildings per player.
bEnableInvaderEnemy — Set to False.

Secondary Performance Settings

BaseCampMaxNum — Reduce for heavily-populated servers.
Auto Save Span — Increase intervals to reduce CPU spikes.

Note

Heavy building and high player count servers will always reach a limitation at some point.
