Change Base Worker Limit on Your Palworld Server
How to increase the maximum number of working Pals at each base on your Palworld server.
The BaseCampWorkerMaxNum setting controls how many Pals can work at a single base camp.
Changing the Worker Limit
- Stop your server
- In the XGamingServer Panel, click Files
- Open
Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini - Find
BaseCampWorkerMaxNumand change it:
BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=20- Save and start your server
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:
BaseCampMaxNumis 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.
