# Adjust Hunger & Stamina Drain on Your Palworld Server (/docs/palworld/hunger-stamina)



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

Control how fast hunger and stamina drain for both players and Pals.

Changing Hunger & Stamina Rates [#changing-hunger--stamina-rates]

In `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`:

Player Settings [#player-settings]

```
PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=0.500000
PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate=0.500000
```

Pal Settings [#pal-settings]

```
PalStomachDecreaceRate=0.500000
PalStaminaDecreaceRate=0.500000
```

How Values Work [#how-values-work]

* **Lower = slower drain** (0.5 = half speed, eat/rest less often)
* **Higher = faster drain** (2.0 = double speed, need food/rest more)
* Default is `1.0` for all four settings

| Value | Effect                              |
| ----- | ----------------------------------- |
| `0.1` | Almost no hunger/stamina drain      |
| `0.5` | Half drain — popular casual setting |
| `1.0` | Default                             |
| `2.0` | Double drain — hardcore survival    |

> 💡 **Tip:** Setting `PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=0.5` and `PalStomachDecreaceRate=0.5` is one of the most popular changes — halves how often you need to feed yourself and your Pals.
