How To Change The Hunger And Stamina Rates On Your Palworld Server

Learn how to change hunger and stamina rates on your Palworld dedicated server. Follow this guide to control how fast players and Pals get hungry and lose stamina.

Palworld has four settings that control how quickly players and Pals lose hunger and stamina. All default to 1.0. Lower values slow down depletion, and setting a value to 0.0 disables it entirely.

Changing Hunger and Stamina Rates

Open the XGamingServer panel

Access the XGamingServer panel and stop your Palworld server.

Go to Startup

In the sidebar, go to Startup.

Edit the hunger and stamina settings

Under the Player and Pal sections, find and adjust the following settings:

Setting	Description	Default
`PlayerStomachDecreaceRate`	How fast players get hungry	`1.0`
`PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate`	How fast players lose stamina	`1.0`
`PalStomachDecreaceRate`	How fast Pals get hungry	`1.0`
`PalStaminaDecreaceRate`	How fast Pals lose stamina	`1.0`

📝 Note: Yes, "Decreace" is the actual spelling used by Palworld in the setting name. Make sure to match this exact spelling if editing config files directly.

Restart your server

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

Recommended values:

Style	Stomach Rate	Stamina Rate
Casual	`0.1` - `0.3`	`0.5`
Balanced	`0.5`	`0.7`
Default	`1.0`	`1.0`
Hardcore	`1.5` - `2.0`	`1.5`
Disabled	`0.0`	`0.0`

💡 Tip: Many servers set PlayerStomachDecreaceRate to 0.5 and PalStomachDecreaceRate to 0.3 so players still need to eat occasionally but Pal feeding is less tedious. Setting stamina to 0.0 removes the stamina system entirely.
