In Palworld you can play with friends in a co-op world or on your own (dedicated) server. These are the differences.
At a glance
| Co-op world | Own server | |
|---|---|---|
| Players at once | up to 4 | up to 32 |
| World reachable | only while the host plays | around the clock |
| Performance | runs on the host's PC | own server, the PC stays free |
| Game rules (experience, capture rate …) | limited | all settings |
| Admin commands, bans, backups | – | yes |
When your own server is worth it
- More than 4 friends want to play.
- Your group plays at different times – with your own server everyone can keep playing, even when you are offline.
- You want your own rules, e.g. double experience or faster breeding – see Palworld settings.
- The host's PC starts stuttering with big bases.
