Edit PalWorldSettings.ini Safely (Hosted)

Safe edit flow

1. Backup in Pterodactyl.
2. Stop the server.
3. Open PalWorldSettings.ini in Files (or SFTP).
4. Change rates, death penalties, or passwords carefully — preserve INI structure.
5. Save → Start → watch console → test join.

Prefer panel Startup variables for name/password when the egg exposes them, and use the INI for world rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stop first?

Yes — stop the server before editing, then start after a backup.

Where is the file?

Usually under the Pal/Saved/Config path in the Files browser — search for PalWorldSettings.ini.

Syntax tips?

Keep parentheses/keys intact; one bad character can prevent boot.
