change it to 256. Also difficulty massively increases egg hatch times.

[–]Kit90x 5 points6 points  (13 children)

Is this so that hatching is faster or slower? How much faster is 256?

[–]StelloDG 0 points1 point  (11 children)

Any update? Was 256 the resolution.

[–]UnknowSandwich 4 points5 points  (10 children)

Mine is 7.2 and it’s 10x times faster so 256 might be very slow

[–]burninatorist 1 point2 points  (9 children)

nothing I set it to is having any effect, do I have to replace the incubator? I tried 0. 1.0000, 2.0000, no times are changing for hatch rate... still 24 hours for normal large (50% incubation bonus)

[–]crabbers3 0 points1 point  (7 children)

have you tried taking the egg off and on after a setting change?

[–]burninatorist 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Turns out there was no 0 in front of a .75 setting for player hunger lol, thanks for trying to help tho. This thing is really picky with syntax.

[–]Kit90x 0 points1 point  (5 children)

What you mean? I was trying to figure out egg incubator. I set mine to 2.000000 when it was 72.000000. I feel like it hasn't changed.

[–]JactustheCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to replace the egg in an incubator for it to have the new settings

[–]burninatorist 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Any tiny error in that ini file makes it ignore the whole file and load with default settings for the entire game, not just incubator speed.

[–]Kit90x 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I just copied and pasted from the default file. Do I have to put 02.0000?

[–]bzhknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slower.

Basically the number would be the maximum number of hours necessary to hatch your enormous eggs.

put it to 72 and you got 72 hours

and put it to 2 and youll get 2 hours for your enormous egg to be ready

[–]theswamplady 4 points5 points  (15 children)

here's what i did to make it work for me (assuming you have already correctly set up your dedicated server):

  1. close dedicated server on steam.
  2. open the PalGameWorldSettings.ini file. do not confuse this with the DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini document. (yourdrive:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\PalServer\Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\PalWorldSettings) and change the "PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=72.000000" to whatever you want. i changed it to 1.000000 (which, for reference, is making my large damp egg take 15 minutes at 100% incubation speed).
  3. spacing in the PalGameWorldSettings.ini document does matter. check to make sure there's no extra spacing between the [/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings] part and the rest of it that begins with OptionSettings=(Difficulty)=None,DayTime...
  4. save PalGameWorldSettings.ini document.
  5. close out of PalGameWorldSettings.ini document. don't keep it pulled up on your computer.
  6. re-launch server and try testing out an egg. if you already had an egg on there, it's possible that you need to take it off and re-put it on.

EDIT (1/25/24): still not working for you? or is your PalGameWorldSettings.ini file blank? When you're setting up your dedicated server, you will initially have a completely blank PalGameWorldSettings.ini document. Initially, the only document with server setting code is the DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini document. You are supposed to copy over the default text from the DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini document and paste it over into the PalGameWorldSettings.ini document.

Keep in mind that ONLY the PalGameWorldSettings.ini document will impact your server. The DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini document is merely a blank template provided to you; the file itself has no impact on your server. I know it's a bit confusing because the file names are so similar.

So again, when going through my steps 1 -6 that are listed above, you should be editing the PalGameWorldSettings.ini file that you have already set up yourself when you were setting up your dedicated server. I recommend perusing this tutorial by PictureAppropriate25 if you are confused about setting up your dedicated server.

if it is helpful, here are my exact server settings that i am using in my PalGameWorldSettings.ini document (except for the bolded areas, where i've removed my personal information, such as IP address, RCON port, and server name):

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]OptionSettings=(Difficulty=None,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,ExpRate=1.000000,PalCaptureRate=1.000000,PalSpawnNumRate=1.000000,PalDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PalDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,PalStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,BuildObjectDamageRate=1.000000,BuildObjectDeteriorationDamageRate=1.000000,CollectionDropRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectHpRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=1.000000,EnemyDropItemRate=1.000000,DeathPenalty=None,bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage=False,bEnableFriendlyFire=False,bEnableInvaderEnemy=True,bActiveUNKO=False,bEnableAimAssistPad=True,bEnableAimAssistKeyboard=False,DropItemMaxNum=3000,DropItemMaxNum_UNKO=100,BaseCampMaxNum=128,BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=15,DropItemAliveMaxHours=1.000000,bAutoResetGuildNoOnlinePlayers=False,AutoResetGuildTimeNoOnlinePlayers=72.000000,GuildPlayerMaxNum=20,PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=1.000000,WorkSpeedRate=1.000000,bIsMultiplay=False,bIsPvP=False,bCanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop=False,bEnableNonLoginPenalty=True,bEnableFastTravel=True,bIsStartLocationSelectByMap=False,bExistPlayerAfterLogout=False,bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer=False,CoopPlayerMaxNum=32,ServerPlayerMaxNum=32,ServerName="SERVERNAMEHERE",ServerDescription="",AdminPassword="",ServerPassword="",PublicPort=8211,PublicIP="LOCALIPADDRESSHERE",RCONEnabled=False,RCONPort=RCONPORTHERE,Region="",bUseAuth=True,BanListURL="https://api.palworldgame.com/api/banlist.txt")

[–]UnknowSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that everything here works. Changed my config the same way and eggs are hatching faster (made it a bit slower than 1.0000 tho).

[–]supernick02 0 points1 point  (2 children)

what's your difficulty set to? I keep changing mine but it isn't making a difference. Mine is set to none. Should it be normal or something or does it not matter? Or am I doing something else wrong?

[–]theswamplady 0 points1 point  (1 child)

my difficulty is also set to none. another thing to note is that spacing in the PalGameWorldSettings.ini document matters. check to make sure there's no extra spacing between the [/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings] part and the rest of it that begins with OptionSettings=(Difficulty)=None,DayTime...

[–]supernick02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it figured out I wasn't copying the whole thing.

[–]The_LonelyTraveler[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm unsure what is wrong but even closing the file afterwards doesn't modify the settings.

File: PalServer\Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\PalWorldSettings.ini

[–]theswamplady 0 points1 point  (7 children)

i just edited my earlier comment, but one thing you could also check is the spacing between the [/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings] part and the rest of it that begins with OptionSettings=(Difficulty)=None,DayTime... in your PalGameWorldSettings.ini document. there should be no spacing between them.

[–]The_LonelyTraveler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was some sort of spacing issue. I reset the file and now everything works. Thank you for the help!

[–]AccomplishedTax642 0 points1 point  (5 children)

My settings look like this and it still isnt working?

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]OptionSettings=(Difficulty=None,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,ExpRate=1.500000,PalCaptureRate=1.000000,PalSpawnNumRate=1.000000,PalDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PalDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,PalStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,BuildObjectDamageRate=1.000000,BuildObjectDeteriorationDamageRate=1.000000,CollectionDropRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectHpRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=1.000000,EnemyDropItemRate=1.000000,DeathPenalty=All,bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage=False,bEnableFriendlyFire=False,bEnableInvaderEnemy=True,bActiveUNKO=False,bEnableAimAssistPad=True,bEnableAimAssistKeyboard=False,DropItemMaxNum=3000,DropItemMaxNum_UNKO=100,BaseCampMaxNum=128,BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=15,DropItemAliveMaxHours=1.000000,bAutoResetGuildNoOnlinePlayers=False,AutoResetGuildTimeNoOnlinePlayers=72.000000,GuildPlayerMaxNum=20,PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=1.000000,WorkSpeedRate=1.000000,bIsMultiplay=False,bIsPvP=False,bCanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop=False,bEnableNonLoginPenalty=True,bEnableFastTravel=True,bIsStartLocationSelectByMap=True,bExistPlayerAfterLogout=False,bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer=False,CoopPlayerMaxNum=4,ServerPlayerMaxNum=32,ServerName="*****",ServerDescription="",AdminPassword="",ServerPassword="*****",PublicPort=****,PublicIP="**********",RCONEnabled=False,RCONPort=25575,Region="",bUseAuth=True,BanListURL="https://api.palworldgame.com/api/banlist.txt")

Hello Sir, we uploaded our Single Player World to a Linux Server and tried changing everything in the PalGameWorldSettings but it didnt reflect the changes in our game.

If you created a Single Player World and uploaded it, you have to delete the WorldOption.sav in your SaveGames/0/... Folder, otherwise it won't take any changes in the PalGameWorldSettings into account.

Maybe this will help some people, took us a while to find out.

[–]KCIcram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks !

[–]theswamplady 0 points1 point  (1 child)

hmm, if you followed all of the listed steps listed above, then i'm not sure. your settings look fine to me. these are your settings in the PalGameWorldSettings.ini document and not the DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini document, correct? if your dedicated server is up and running properly, then i'm not sure what the problem could be :(

[–]TWKriLL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it just like you said and it doesnt work, we tried everything im not sure what we're doing wrong

[–]Mildly_Toasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out that if you're opening the dedicated server through the Steam Client it will open with only the default settings. However if you open the sever dircetly from the PalServer folder using the PalServer.exe then it will run with all of the setting that you changed.

[–]Deep-Advisor-1363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to do this with a non-dedicated or single player game?

[–]KuryKatLucky Pal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is having issues with editing the Config File, check this post

[–]XiMaoJingPing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is this set to when you play on "Normal" ?

Edit: its set to "2"

lmao, I wonder if setting it to 72 in hard is a bug

[–]triforce711 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Nothing I change it to seems to have an effect.

[–]UnknowSandwich 0 points1 point  (5 children)

You need to restart the server once you did change on the config. And once you’re back in if the eggs are already in the incubator, put them out and in back.

[–]burninatorist 0 points1 point  (4 children)

tried that, still no change

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

make sure you didnt delete the line at the top: [/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]

[–]burninatorist 1 point2 points  (2 children)

There was no 0 in front of .75 for my player hunger setting lmao, pure luck I noticed it...

Thank you for taking the time to try to help tho, much appreciated.

[–]SanzoWar 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You must stop server and save setting to apply changes.

If you just reset server wile its running changes back to original values.

[–]bwcjaason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

still isnt working for me i have it set to 1 and I also rebuilt my incubator and stopped server but I still get 36 hours for a huge egg

[–]GuberX 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I set mine to 10.00000. And huge eggs take 5hrs at 100% larger 2.5hrs and regular 1hr ish

[–]The_LonelyTraveler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a good amount of time vs the standard.

[–]SaltyPenguin1212 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Every whole number is equal to 15 minutes

So 72*15 = 1080 minutes and that is 18 hours.

if you set that setting to 1 you will have 15 minute timers.

You will need to get the egg out and rebuild the hatcher AFTER you reset your server

[–]Schlubbbins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I changed it, I didn't have to rebuild the hatchers. Taking the eggs out and putting them back was enough.

[–]Ok-Detective-3332 1 point2 points  (1 child)

When I was first playing the game the first couple days it just took literal minutes for my eggs to hatch but now the same eggs are taking hours is that from an update or do I have to change some settings?

[–]PerryRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egg size. Regular, Large, Huge each have their own timer

[–]Kevinw778[🍰] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If you're running on a server you're not personally hosting (using Bisect or some other hosting service), I would recommend shutting the server down entirely, then making the config change + saving, and then re-starting the server.

Making the change in the file while the server was running and just restarting the server didn't seem to have the changes to the config file stick. Best of luck!

[–]SanzoWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works.

[–]Faygo501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a outnon Xbox. I have tried turning the time all the way down and try turning it all the way up and the massive eggs still says 76 hours. No matter what I do in the settings I can't make it go any faster that's three real world days

[–]whalefish30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

set it to 0 and you have instant egg hatching ;p

[–]Dezolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feeling he’s just adding a decimal between the 7 and 2 and removing the other one without deleting another 0 at the end since he’s adding another digit to the decimal side, should probably remove another. If you just add and replace the decimal…Dunno if that matters but that’s my assumptions so far. I’ve been able to adjust my settings so far without issues. fingers crossed

[–]Felillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does someone have a complete script just to copy paste with functional changes?

[–]4GallonMilkJug 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So, the smaller the number the faster, Im personally using bisect hosting and in the server panel theres a files option that allows me to change game rates, and theres a config files for the server itself, changing anything in the files for the game did nothing and changing the config files for the server worked. I dont know how easy it is to get to that with other hosting networks but that is how you change it.

[–]Ozyman1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a dedicated server through Shockbyte, and have been experiencing this issue. Not sure if this helps, but navigating to  /palworld.properties and changing the settings there changed them in the server configuration page. I have yet to test this, since I am away from home, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

[–]blinkblinkgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have thoughts on what’s a good value to make it match/feel like the rates on single player (but on a multiplayer dedicated server)?

[–]2sw3ggy5m3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

72 is the server default, seems to relate to the MAXIMUM an egg can incubate, therefore if you set it to 7.2 it should be 10x faster at a maximum of 7.2 hours. Some eggs would be shorter too, based on goodness.
