palworld-worldoptions

A tool for creating WorldOption.sav and applying the PalWorldSettings.ini for dedicated servers

I also created a web version of this tool: https://palworldoptions.com/

Background

BaseCampWorkerMaxNum in PalWorldSettings.ini doesn't load on dedicated servers.
However there is a workaround!

Placing WorldOption.sav with a modified BaseCampWorkerMaxNum in your dedicated server save will apply the configured BaseCampWorkerMaxNum.
However PalWorldSettings.ini will be ignored!
This tool will create a WorldOption.sav with your PalWorldSettings.ini applied to it

Using the EXE

• Shutdown your server
• Drag and drop PalWorldSettings.ini onto the exe or run in the same directory
• Copy WorldOption.sav to your save directory with LevelMeta.sav and Level.sav
• Start your server and check your settings

WorldOption.sav created via the exe can be used for windows and/or linux dedicated servers

Example:

If you want to call the EXE from a script add the --script flag to make it non-interactive

Using the Scripts

The exe should work for most people. If you're running linux you can run the tool via the scripts

Python 3.10 or later
Linux Users will also need to install uesave
