# Change Base Worker Limit on Your Palworld Server (/docs/palworld/base-workers)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

The `BaseCampWorkerMaxNum` setting controls how many Pals can work at a single base camp.

Changing the Worker Limit [#changing-the-worker-limit]

1. Stop your server
2. In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Files**
3. Open `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`
4. Find `BaseCampWorkerMaxNum` and change it:

```
BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=20
```

5. Save and start your server

Values [#values]

| Value | Notes                                |
| ----- | ------------------------------------ |
| `10`  | Reduced — better performance         |
| `15`  | Default                              |
| `20`  | Popular increase                     |
| `30`  | High — noticeable performance impact |
| `50`  | Maximum — significant server load    |

> ⚠️ **Performance warning:** This is one of the biggest performance levers. More workers = more AI calculations. Start at 20 and only increase if your server handles it well.

| Setting                 | Default | Description                                   |
| ----------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `BaseCampMaxNum`        | `128`   | Total bases server-wide (all guilds combined) |
| `BaseCampMaxNumInGuild` | `4`     | Max bases per guild (max 10)                  |

> 📝 **Note:** `BaseCampMaxNum` is the **server-wide total** across all guilds — not per-guild. This is a common source of "can't build more bases" confusion. Increase it if your server has many guilds.
