By default, Palworld dedicated servers are capped at 32 slots. While this is suitable for most communities, large networks may want to increase this limit or adjust guild roster sizes to accommodate more players.

Increasing the Player Cap
Unlike other settings, the 32-player limit is hard-coded into the game engine. To exceed it, you must use a Slot Injector mod.
- Prerequisite: Install UE4SS (See our Modding Guide).
- Mod: Install a slot injection mod or a comprehensive plugin like PalGuard.
- Config: Modify the mod settings to your desired slot count (e.g., 64).
- Warning: Every active base consumes significant CPU. Exceeding 32 players will drastically impact server Tick Rate.
Guild & Base Capacity
| Variable | Default | Optimized | Recommendation |
|---|
GuildPlayerMaxNum | 20 | 20-50 | Safe to increase for larger social groups. |
BaseCampWorkerMaxNum | 15 | 15-20 | Avoid setting to 50; 32 players with 50 workers = 1,600 simultaneous AI paths, which will crash any CPU. |
