How To Change Building Limits On Your Palworld Server

Learn how to modify building limits on your Palworld dedicated server. Control the maximum number of buildings per player and configure area restrictions.

Building limits control how many structures each player can place and where they can build. Adjusting these settings helps balance creative freedom with server performance. Too many buildings can cause lag, so setting reasonable limits keeps your server running smoothly.

How To Change Building Limits

Open the XGamingServer panel

Access the XGamingServer panel and stop your Palworld server.

Go to Startup

In the sidebar, go to Startup.

Configure building limits

Under the Bases & Guilds section, edit the following:

MaxBuildingLimitNum - Maximum number of building pieces per player. Set to 0 for unlimited. Default varies by server configuration.
BaseCampMaxNum - Maximum number of base camps allowed on the entire server.

Under the Advanced section:

bBuildAreaLimit - Set to True to prevent building near certain structures like fast travel points, or False to allow unrestricted placement.

💡 Tip: If your server experiences lag, try lowering MaxBuildingLimitNum. A value of 5000-10000 gives players plenty of room to build while keeping performance stable.

⚠️ Warning: Setting MaxBuildingLimitNum to 0 (unlimited) on a busy server can lead to significant performance issues as players build massive bases. Monitor server performance if you use this setting.

Restart your server

Start your server from the Console page to apply the changes.
