Palworld server guide

Capture rate and Pal spawn rate on a Palworld server

Set Pal Capture Rate higher to make catches easier, up to 10, and Pal Spawn Rate higher for more Pals in the world, up to 20. Both are sliders in the server's settings in HaruHost and apply at the next restart.

The settings

  • Pal Capture Rate (PalCaptureRate): how easy catches are. 1 is normal.
  • Pal Spawn Rate (PalSpawnNumRate): how many Pals appear. More Pals means more work for the server.
  • Enable Predator Boss Pal: the predator bosses in the world.

Spawn rate and lag

Higher spawn rates put more Pals in the world for the server to run. Raise it in small steps and watch the server's FPS on the map.

Questions

Does a higher capture rate break the game?

It makes catching quicker, mostly early on. 1.5 to 2 is a common choice for small groups.
