Change Egg Hatching Time on Your Palworld Server
How to speed up or slow down Pal egg incubation time on your Palworld dedicated server.
By default, Huge Eggs take 72 real hours (3 days) to hatch. Most server owners reduce this significantly.
Changing Egg Hatch Time
- Stop your server
- In the XGamingServer Panel, click Files
- Open
Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini - Find
PalEggDefaultHatchingTimeand change it:
PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=1.000000- Save and start your server
Values
| Value | Hatch Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
0 | Instant | No wait at all |
1.0 | 1 hour | Popular choice |
5.0 | 5 hours | Moderate wait |
10.0 | 10 hours | Still meaningful |
24.0 | 1 day | Half the default |
72.0 | 3 days | Default — widely considered too long |
💡 Tip: Most servers set this to
1.0or5.0. The default 72 hours is the single most complained-about setting.
