The server overwrote the file
Confirm that the server was fully stopped before replacement. A running server may write its previous settings during shutdown.
Palworld
Save Editor

or drag the file here
01
Load a WorldOption.sav file to display editable settings.
BEFORE YOU EDIT
Check the WorldOption.sav you uploaded
WorldOption.sav is a binary file containing world-specific settings. If you run several worlds, check the path and modification time below to make sure you selected the file used by the active server.
- Typical location
Pal/Saved/SaveGames/<ServerID>/<WorldID>/WorldOption.sav- Input
WorldOption.sav copied from your existing server- Output
A rebuilt file with the same WorldOption.sav name
SAFE WORKFLOW
Apply changes safely in 4 steps
Keeping the original untouched and following this order gives you a quick route back if a setting does not behave as expected.
- 01Stop the server and identify the world
Have players disconnect, then stop the server process. If several worlds exist, use modification times and your backup records to confirm the correct WorldID directory.
- 02Back up and upload a copy
Copy the complete WorldID directory, then upload a copy of WorldOption.sav from it. Do not substitute another save type or a file without the .sav extension.
- 03Review, edit, and download
Change only the admin password and world options you understand. Leave unknown values untouched and verify that the downloaded file is named WorldOption.sav.
- 04Replace, start, and verify
With the server stopped, retain the existing file as a backup and put the edited file in the same location. Start the server, then check login, admin authentication, and each changed option.
SETTING NOTES
Understand commonly edited settings
A larger multiplier is not automatically better. Values can affect both game balance and server load, so change a small group at a time and verify the result.
Setting
What it controls
What to consider
AdminPasswordPassword used for in-game administrator authentication
Do not publish it or reuse a password from another service.
ExpRateExperience gain multiplier for progression
Large changes substantially alter progression and server balance.
PalCaptureRateMultiplier applied to Pal capture probability
Other capture modifiers can still affect the final result.
PalSpawnNumRateMultiplier for the number of Pals appearing in the world
High values may increase both combat difficulty and server workload.
DayTimeSpeedRate / NightTimeSpeedRateHow quickly daytime and nighttime pass
This also affects play tied to time, such as sleep and spawn conditions.
BaseCampWorkerMaxNumNumber of working Pals assignable at a base
Values beyond limits imposed by the current game or host may not apply.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When changes do not apply
The wrong world was edited
SaveGames can contain several ID directories. Confirm that the file you uploaded belongs to the world the server is actually loading.
A hosting panel manages settings
Some hosts regenerate files from their control panel or restrict WorldOption.sav. Check the provider’s setting priority and restart procedure.
A game update changed the structure
Properties added by a recent update might not appear yet or encoding may fail. Restore the backup and include the game version and error message when contacting us.
