Summary
Palworld servers have many customization options available that can drastically change how players interact with the server. Players can change settings such as the XP gain rate, gather rates, and many more to either add challenges to servers or make it easier. These options include several risky settings that may cause issues on a server; those settings have been included in this guide to warn against using them.
