Frequently Asked Questions

What is Palworld?

Palworld is a video game that combines life simulation, construction, and combat elements like those found in Pokemon, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and ARK: Survival Ascended. Developed by Pocketpair, the game features a world where you can breed and train creatures called Pals to perform various tasks such as farming and building within your base.

The construction and management elements introduced by Palworld allow you to create your own home and customize it according to your preferences and needs.

Is Palworld an open-world game?

Yes, Palworld allows you to explore a vast map, facing different biomes like volcanic areas, frozen wastelands, or relentless deserts, each with its unique surprises and challenges.

Can Palworld be played offline?

Yes, in Single-Player and Co-Op modes. However, you will need to be on a Local Server hosted from your PC to continue exploring and discovering the world of Palworld.

Can Pals be traded in the game?

Yes, players can swap Pals from their team simply by dropping them. The Pal will then appear in front of the player in a sphere which will disappear after some time. Before the sphere disappears, each player can pick up the sphere and collect the pal. Other forms are by placing the Pal you want to exchange in a base for work. Your friend will then be able to take the Pal from the base workers but the players will need to belong to the same guild to trade this way.

Does Palworld have PvP?

Unfortunately, this option is not available in the game at the moment. However, an official statement has been released, indicating that it is planned for one of the upcoming updates.

Does it have Crossplay?

Yes, Palworld fully supports crossplay across all platforms — Steam, Xbox, Windows 10 PC, and PlayStation 5. This means players on any of these platforms can join the same world and play together, regardless of where they purchased the game.

Does my Nitrado server work for all platforms?

Yes, with full crossplay now available, Nitrado servers can support players from Steam, Xbox, Windows 10 PC, and PlayStation 5. Just ensure your server is properly configured to allow cross-platform connections.

How many people can join my Palworld server?

Steam currently supports 32 players. Xbox and Windows 10 versions of Palworld do not yet support servers, but do allow players to play together with 4-person Co-Op.

Common Issues

Carrying Too Many Items

One of the most common issues, especially for beginners in Palworld, is carrying too much weight causing you to move much slower than normal. This situation forces you to discard some of your precious materials. Some solutions to this include using the grappling gun for movement, bringing Pals that enhance your carrying capacity like Cattiva, or increasing your stats to carry more weight.

Insufficient Beds

Sometimes having extra beds might seem excessive, but it’s crucial, especially when there are possibilities of them being destroyed during raids. With the ability to have 15 Pals in your base and more with Palworld mods, beds ensure your Pals are content and can always rest to continue working.

Create Multiple Bases

While having only one base might seem like a good idea, it’s better to have specialized bases. Such as mining and smelting, to streamline the process and have more Pals dedicated to specific production.

Inconsistent Food Supply

Placing food in food boxes might seem simple, but constantly collecting and placing it can become tedious. Ensure a constant food supply by having berry or wheat plantations and a couple of Pals responsible for cultivation, allowing them to manage their own food without your intervention.

Not Collecting All Lifmunk Statues

These intriguing statues found throughout the map serve a purpose beyond aesthetics or achievements. You can exchange them at the Anubis statues around the map to improve your chances of capturing Pals, making it easier, especially with bosses and special Pals.

Palworld Server Issues

Palworld Updates

Game updates sometimes cause issues on servers as they may not register correctly, leading to the server ‘crashing’. It is best to give the server some time and disable all mods. If the problem persists, the worst-case scenario would be to restore the server’s latest backup to fix it.

Automatic restarts

Having automatic restarts enabled is not a problem but a recommendation to prevent data corruption and address potential issues on your server. Here are the advantages of having automatic restarts activated on your Palworld server:

• Preventing memory leak
• CPU usage reduction
• Ensuring proper synchronization of backups and game saves on your Palworld server.

Palworld Server stuck on Startup

In some cases, Palworld servers cannot successfully come online so players can join. This typically occurs when recent file changes are made, resulting in broken formatting. For instance, removing settings, adding extra line breaks, and more can cause this situation to unfold. This can be confirmed by an endless cycle of the server trying to start.

To fix it you can:

• Manually revert any recently changed files and settings, then restart the server.
• Delete previously edited files, then restart the server to regenerate them.
• Use the “Backups” section to restore from a backup, reverting to a working version.
• Reset the entire server and reboot it so new files generate properly.

Palworld Recent Servers Issue

While attempting to join your Palworld server, an issue with the Recent Servers category can happen that results in nothing being shown. This applies to any server that you’ve recently played. The cause for this is a known Palworld issue, being triggered by seamlessly nothing.

To fix it you can:

• Keep refreshing until the desired server appears in the list.
• Reboot Palworld, reconnect with the IP Address:Port direct method, then check if the server appears.
• Wait until Palworld releases a patch for this issue, leaving you to directly connect in the meantime.
