Palworld servers get found and joined by strangers quickly. A password is the simplest fix.
- Stop the server.
- In Files, open
Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini. - Set
ServerPassword="yourpassword". Keep the quotes; the file won't load without them. - While you're there,
ServerNameandServerDescriptioncontrol how it shows in the list. - Save and start the server.
My change keeps going back
Some settings are also on the Startup tab, and those can overwrite the file when the server starts. If a change keeps reverting, set it on the Startup tab instead.
