How To Change the Auto-Save Interval on Your Palworld Server

Note:

While increasing the AutoSaveSpan helps eliminate the “save stutter” on busy servers, it also increases the risk of a “rollback.” If your server crashes or loses power, any progress made between the last auto-save and the crash will be permanently lost. For most active servers, a value between 300 and 600 is considered the sweet spot for performance and safety.
