Palworldhas a massive open world filled with over a hundred creatures for you to tame, train, and put to work while you expand your base. While more features are being added with every patch, the world can feel a little unbalanced and even empty in certain areas.
When you create a server, you also get the option to change many different settings, including multipliers for almost every activity and mechanic available. While most are just right, others can be changed to make your experience exponentially better while still allowing it to feel challenging and engaging.
Updated on July 08, 2025, by Mohamed El Ouardighi: Palworld has been constantly updated with new content to keep the game alive, and the most recent one—Feybreak—was probably the biggest yet. That’s why we’ve gone over our old Palworld lists and updated them accordingly.
12Night Time Speed
The day and night cycle in Palworld is important in that, at different times, you will encounter different types of Pals and even be able to sneak up on sleeping ones. On solo servers, you can sleep in your bed to change the time from night to day at any point.
Certain Pals, likeTombatandDepresso, will continue working at night.
This means that you can decrease the Night Time Speed setting to give you more time to catch night Pals without having to rush to find as many as possible. When you are ready, just hop in your bed and start the next day, letting your Pals get back to work.
11Max Structures Per Base
Your base is your haven in Palworld, so you’ll need to ensure you have everything you need in it, keeping it constantly functioning and producing materials while also providing plenty of comfort for your Pals so they don’t get overworked.
However, the base structure limit might hold you back from building the base of your dreams, especially if you’re someone who enjoys being creative and putting time and effort into your base. In that case, you’ll definitely want to remove the limit on the maximum structures per base. This will give you the freedom to customize each of your bases as you wish, allowing for more creative expression.
10EXP Rate
If you are playing in a large clan or with multiple friends on the same server, it’s smart to diversify what recipes you plan on learning to save your Technology Points. Otherwise, you will never quite have enough to get everything you want.
The simplest way to correct this is by changing the EXP Rate setting so that yougain levels faster. This is most important on solo servers as it will still take many hours to reach even the mid-levels while spending points on every recipe.
9Pal Appearance Rate
With how massive the world map is and how few world features there are in early access, it can feel sort of empty while soaring through the sky on your Beakon. The Pal Appearance Rate setting can fill the world with more Pals, as long as your PC can handle the extra load.
This can also fix other issues, such as never finding the right Pal when getting theten captures experience bonus, or when you spend hours hunting for a singleVenom Gland. However, with this setting, it’s recommended not to max it out and instead increase it to two.
8Pal Hunger Depletion Rate
Over time,Pals will become hungry, especially if you spend time riding them or using them in combat, and with Feeding Bags they will peck away at your food stash over time. However, with how easy it is to obtain food and how much even a berry refills the bar, it’s just a very minor inconvenience.
To help give this mechanic some weight and give you a reason to build and maintain multiple crop plots, increase this setting. This also gives you a reason to spend those Ancient Technology Points on better Feed Bags, which are often underutilized.
7Gatherable Items Multiplier
A great deal of the gameplay loop of Palworld involves using axes and pickaxes to harvest wood, stone, ore, sulfur, and much more. Although you can build workstations for wood and stone, this will mean you must spend a great deal of time swinging away at various colored rocks.
For most, this kind of grinding becomes tedious and almost a time waster, and you would rather spend this time catching Pals or fighting NPC camps. By increasing the multiplier, you can still engage in this mechanic without having to spend half your time doing so.
6Dropped Items Multiplier
By capturing or knocking out Pals, they will drop items into your inventory depending on the specific Pal. Almost every Pal will drop a useful item and some are used very frequently, especially at early levels.
With the current setting, and especially on solo servers, knocking out or catching enough Pals to getVenom Glands, Pal Metal, orAncient Civilization Partsmeans spending hours just to lose them to the first set of arrows or armor you craft.
5Structure Deterioration Rate
When building objects are placed outside your base’s zone, they will start to lose health until eventually destroyed. On larger multiplayer servers, this prevents seeing random stairs and repair benches littering the world, but on solo servers, this can be a pain.
By changing the setting to zero, you won’t have to worry about any of your objects placed outside the zone disappearing, especially if it is only partially over the line. This can also give you more room to expand your base, as long as you don’t need your working Pals on objects placed outside.
4Maximum Number Of Dropped Items In The World
This setting affects all items that you can see lying on the ground, either from randomly spawning items likePal Spheres to ones dropped by you and Pals on your Farm. The most noticeable effect of changing this setting is seeing more random items on the ground as you travel.
One issue increasing this setting fixes is if you have multiple farms where Pals are gathering and dropping items, you will see fewer items in the wild. This can add to the empty feeling of Palworld if the setting remains as low as it does by default.
3Pal Capture Rate
Each time new Pals are released, you might be a completionist who wants to make sure you capture every single Pal out there. This can be difficult, as different Pals have varying capture rates, and of course, it depends on the Sphere you’re using.
If you don’t want to go through all the hassle and you’re just a casual player, feel free to bump up the Pal Capture Rate and increase the multiplier to make it easier to capture any Pal you come across. That said, don’t expect to capture every Pal on the first try—especially the Alpha Pal—but it will definitely make it easier for you.
