Best Palworld custom world settings

Like most other survival games, Palworld gives you the tools to customize your difficulty and apply your own settings to your world. You can make your Palworld server a hardcore survival experience or a carefree casual time depending on your choices.

Best Custom World Settings in Palworld

To change your Palworld server settings, just start a new world and then choose Custom Settings next to the Custom Difficulty option to reveal all of the sliders. Casual, Normal, and Hard all tweak these sliders in various ways, and you can see the settings for each of them if you have the slider menu opened.

The default Normal settings are fine for most people, but a few tweaks transform Palworld into a much more enjoyable experience. These are the best custom difficulty settings that you should try for your world in Palworld.

If you don’t like your world’s difficulty settings, you’re thankfully not stuck with them. You can change your server’s settings at any time from the main menu. Some of Palworld’s features — like grinding for EXP — don’t get super annoying until you’re quite far in the game, so being able to tweak difficulty settings at any time is a huge relief.
