Palworld server guide

Palworld server lag and memory

A Palworld server uses more memory the longer it runs, and long-running servers start to lag. Give it the memory Pocketpair recommends (16 GB) and restart it on a schedule, with a warning to players first; HaruHost does the restarts for you.

How much memory

Pocketpair recommends 16 GB of memory and 4 or more CPU cores, on a fast SSD. 8 GB can start a server, with a higher risk of running out of memory.

Restart on a schedule

An automation can message players, save and restart the server at set times, for example every night. See scheduled restarts.

  • The machine's page shows CPU and memory use over time.
  • Settings such as base camp limits and raids change how much the server has to do.
