How to Join Your Chapter22 Palworld Server

Join steps

Start the server in Pterodactyl and wait until the console is ready.
Copy IP:port from the console / Network allocation.
In Palworld: Join Game → Direct Connect (or Community list if visible).
Enter IP:port and the server password if you set one.
Invite friends with the same address — no home-router forward on managed hosting.

Tips

Crossplay filters can hide servers — try Direct Connect first.
If the list is empty, Direct Connect still proves the game port works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which port do friends use?

The primary allocation from Pterodactyl — not necessarily 8211.

Community browser empty?

See the not-showing guide; Direct Connect still works with IP:port.

Password?

If you set SERVER_PASSWORD in the panel, friends must enter it when joining.

Need help?

If you are stuck after following this guide, open a ticket from the Chapter22 client area with the exact error, the port or DNS change you made, and whether the service listens locally (ss / Resource Monitor) but fails externally.
