How to Optimize Your Palworld Server

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Optimize your Palworld server to get the best performance for you and your players. The default configuration prioritizes compatibility over performance — targeted adjustments can reclaim significant headroom.

Core Settings to Tune

SettingRecommendation
PalSpawnNumRateReduce to lower active entity count without breaking progression
DropItemMaxNumSet to 200–300 to prevent clutter overwhelming the physics tick
DropItemMaxNum_UNKOSet to 200–300 (same reasoning)
ServerPlayerMaxNumSet to realistic peak plus a small buffer — over-allocating wastes resources
bEnableInvaderEnemyDisable if not used — saves processing per frame

Managing RAM and Memory Leaks

Palworld's dedicated server has a known memory leak that grows by 50–200 MB per hour under load. A memory leak means the server keeps using up more and more RAM over time instead of releasing it, eventually running out of memory and crashing (an OOM/Out of Memory crash). The only reliable mitigation is scheduled restarts.

  • Set up automatic restarts every 6–12 hours via Advanced → Schedules in the panel.
  • A daily restart bounds RAM usage to a predictable ceiling.

Adjust via 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 Palworld Settings and adjust the values.
  4. Save and restart your server to apply the changes.

Verify Performance

Join as a regular player and check:

  • Server FPS — Press ~ and type stat fps
  • Player movement — Walk, sprint, mount. Rubber-banding indicates tick rate or bandwidth issues.
  • latency — Open containers, craft, swap items. Actions should register in under 100 ms.
