Want to start over on your Palworld server? Here is how – the old world is kept as a backup.
How to
- Create a backup under Backups (recommended).
- Stop the server and wait until it is "offline".
- Files tab → open the folder
Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/. - Inside is a folder with a long name of numbers and letters – that is your world. Rename it, e.g. add
-old. - Start the server. Palworld no longer finds the old world and creates a new world.
All players then start with new characters.
Back to the old world
Stop the server, rename or delete the new world folder and give the old folder its original name again (remove the -old). Then start.
Good to know
- Settings stay: experience, capture rate etc. in
PalWorldSettings.inialso apply to the new world – see Palworld settings. - Own world from your PC? Instead of a new world you can also bring over your co-op or single-player world: Transfer a co-op world to the server.
- Old world folders use disk space. If you don't need them anymore, delete them in the Files tab.
