How to Change Breeding Time in Palworld

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Learn how to adjust breeding time in Palworld for quicker results and maximize your breeding efficiency.

Breeding Pals is one of the best ways to obtain powerful companions with desirable passive skills. By placing a male and female Pal in a Breeding Farm with Cake, two parent Pals can produce a new Pal that inherits traits from both parents. Palworld allows server owners to adjust breeding timers, letting you speed up or slow down the incubation process.

Change Breeding Time via the NolimitHost Panel

  1. Log into the NolimitHost Game Panel and select your Palworld server.
  2. Stop your server first, so it doesn't overwrite your changes while you work.
  3. Open the Palworld Settings tab in the left navbar.
  4. Locate PalEggDefaultHatchingTime. By default, it is set to 72 hours. This reflects the real-world hours it takes to hatch the largest, rarest eggs. Smaller eggs hatch proportionately quicker.
  5. Set the value to be faster or slower. Set it to 0 for instant hatching.
  6. Save your settings and restart your server to apply the change.

Change Breeding Time via Config File

PalWorldSettings.ini is the main configuration file for your server.

  1. Stop your server first, so it doesn't overwrite your changes while you work.
  2. In the left sidebar of your NolimitHost Game Panel, open your server files via File Manager, or connect over SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol — a secure way to browse and upload your server's files from your own computer).
  3. Navigate to Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini.
  4. Find PalEggDefaultHatchingTime= inside the OptionSettings=(...) line and change the value (in hours). 
    PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=1
  5. Save the file and restart your server to apply the change.
Note: If the file is mostly empty, you can paste the full default block from DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini and edit just this value.
