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
