How To Optimise Your Palworld Server for Maximum FPS

Note:

Server lag in Palworld is rarely caused by the number of players; it is caused by the number of ‘Active Entities.’ Every dropped berry, every piece of stone, and every stray Pal poop is a data point the server must track. By aggressively managing item lifetimes and worker counts, you aren’t just preventing lag—you are preventing the database corruption that leads to ‘Infinite Loading Screens’ and lost player progress

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Stop Your Server

---

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

4. Open the ‘PalWorldSettings.ini’ File

Navigate to:

Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini

---

5. Apply These Settings

Tip: Use Ctrl + F to quickly find the required setting inside PalWorldSettings.ini

The “Performance First” Configuration

Setting	Optimized Value	Why This Saves Your Server
DropItemMaxNum	1000.000000	Limits the total number of dropped items in the world. Prevents “item lag” in busy mining areas.
DropItemAliveMaxHours	0.500000	Items disappear after 30 minutes. This is the #1 secret to preventing save file bloat.
AutoSaveSpan	60.000000	Saves every 60 seconds. High enough to prevent “save stutters,” frequent enough to prevent data loss.
BaseCampWorkerMaxNum	15	Reducing this from 20 to 15 significantly lowers CPU pathfinding calculations.
PalSpawnNumRate	1.000000	Keep this at default. Increasing it is the fastest way to crash a mid-range server.
DropItemMaxNum_UNKO	50	Limits the amount of… “waste” Pals leave behind. Essential for long-term cleanliness.
