The `PalSpawnNumRate` setting controls how many wild Pals populate the world.

Changing Spawn Rate [#changing-spawn-rate]

1. Stop your server
2. In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Files**
3. Open `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`
4. Find `PalSpawnNumRate` and change it:

```
PalSpawnNumRate=1.500000
```

5. Save and start your server

Values [#values]

| Value | Effect                              |
| ----- | ----------------------------------- |
| `0.5` | Fewer Pals — feels emptier          |
| `1.0` | Default spawn density               |
| `1.5` | 50% more Pals — livelier world      |
| `2.0` | Double Pals                         |
| `3.0` | Very dense — may impact performance |

> ⚠️ **Performance:** Higher values increase CPU load. If your server lags, try reducing this to `0.8` or `0.9`.
