How to Change the Difficulty of Your Palworld Server
Overview
Dedicated servers have no single "difficulty" dropdown. You customise individual settings in the config file instead.
Step-by-Step Instructions
<ol><li>Stop the server and back up your files first.</li><li>Open DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini and copy all of its contents.</li><li>Paste the contents into the Palworld Configuration Tool and adjust the settings you want.</li><li>Copy the updated config and replace the contents of the file.</li><li>Save and restart the server.</li></ol>
Code / Configuration
<pre><code>Difficulty=Custom # also: Casual / Normal / Hard DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000 NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000 ExpRate=1.000000 PalCaptureRate=1.000000 PalSpawnNumRate=1.000000 EnemySpawnRate=1.000000</code></pre>
Warning
A malformed config will prevent the server from starting. Always keep a backup of the original file.
