About this game
Palworld is a multiplayer open-world survival crafting game where you explore a vast world, befriend and collect mysterious creatures called Pals, and use them for combat, building, farming, and factory work. You can live peacefully alongside them or fight a ruthless poaching syndicate, while also managing survival in a harsh environment with limited food and dangerous enemies. Pals can be mounted to travel across land, sea, and sky, assigned to automate production, and bred to pass on traits, and the game supports solo play, online co-op for up to 4 players, and dedicated servers for up to 32 players.

- Check that the machine hosting the dedicated server has sufficient CPU, RAM, and disk performance for your player count and settings.
- Reduce the number of active pals per player to around 15 and limit bases to about 3 per guild.
- Avoid increasing spawn rates or other heavy settings that can overload the server.
- Restart the server or session if pals stop attacking or working, as long-running servers are more prone to AI issues.
- Reduce the number of deployed pals and clear leftover debris or overlapping objects around bases to lessen AI strain.
- Adjust world and base settings gradually to match the capabilities of your hosting device.
Completely remove all mod-related files and loaders following the official mod-clearing guidelines, then verify game files and start a new or clean world to prevent crashes and missing progress when the game still reports mods as installed.
