Why do custom settings in PalWorldSettings.ini fail to take effect?

Palworld requires all server settings to exist on a single contiguous line inside OptionSettings=(...). If there is an unintended line break, missing comma, or quotation mismatch, the Unreal Engine parser silently resets the entire configuration to default values. Our studio generates a 100% compliant single-line string.

Where do I put server.cfg on a FiveM server?

Place server.cfg directly in the root directory of your cfx-server-data repository alongside the run.bat / run.sh executable. Ensure your server license key from keymaster.fivem.net is filled into sv_licenseKey.

Server Hosting Installation Guide & Best Practices

1. Where to Place PalWorldSettings.ini

Navigate to your server directory: PalServer/Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ (or LinuxServer/). Replace the existing empty template with your generated file and restart the server daemon.

2. Port Forwarding Checklist

If self-hosting from home: Forward UDP port 8211 (Palworld) or UDP/TCP 30120 (FiveM) in your router settings. Ensure Windows Defender Firewall allows inbound rules.

3. OneSync Infinity for FiveM

Always leave set onesync on enabled. Standard 32-slot servers without OneSync experience desynced entity physics and vehicle pop-in when multiple players congregate in downtown Los Santos.
