Best Palworld Server Settings for PvP Servers

Note:

In a PvP environment, server latency (lag) is your biggest enemy. To ensure smooth combat and fair hit registration, it is highly recommended to keep BaseCampWorkerMaxNum at 10 or lower. Reducing the number of active Pals at bases significantly frees up CPU resources, prioritising player combat calculations and preventing “teleporting” during raids.
