Locate the PalWorldSettings.ini config file
Your Palworld server configuration file, PalWorldSettings.ini, is the foundation for configuring the server. To access this essential document, go to the Saved/Config/LinuxServer directory on your FTP. In this folder, you will find the PalWorldSettings.ini file, which contains the multiple parameters that govern the operation of your server.
Understanding the language of personalization
The PalWorldSettings.ini file uses a structured key-value format, where each parameter is represented by a key in square brackets and a corresponding value that determines the specific parameter. For example, the following line adjusts the speed rate for the day:
[/script/pal.palGameWorldSettings]
OptionSettings= (dayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000)
Here, the “DayTimeSpeedRate” key controls the progress of game time during daylight hours, and its value, 1.000,000, indicates normal speed. By changing these values, you can speed up or slow down the game's progress as you like.
