How To Fix Server Lag and Stuttering on Palworld Servers With 32+ Players

Note:

The #1 secret to a smooth 32-player Palworld server is managing the total number of active AI entities. The server’s CPU treats every working Pal and every roaming Invader as a “task.” When 32 players each have 20 Pals at their base, the server is trying to manage 640 simultaneous AI brains.

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 the Limits

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

Setting Name	Recommended Value	Why This Saves Performance
DropItemMaxNum	800 - 1500	Reduces the number of loose items the server has to track.
BaseCampWorkerMaxNum	10 - 12	Fewer Pals working at once drastically lowers CPU pathfinding load.
PalSpawnNumRate	0.8	Slightly fewer wild Pals means less AI for the server to calculate.
bEnableInvaderEnemy	FALSE	Disabling raids prevents sudden, massive spikes in AI activity.
