# Palworld Player Stat Enhancement (Status Points) (/docs/palworld/stat-enhancement)



Palworld's **status point** system (added in the Feybreak update) lets players spend points earned on level-up to permanently boost a stat. As a server owner you can allow or disallow enhancement of each stat individually — useful for balancing PvP or forcing a survival-focused playstyle.

The Settings [#the-settings]

These live in `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`, inside the `OptionSettings=(...)` block.

| Setting                       | Default | Description                                     |
| ----------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `bAllowEnhanceStat_Health`    | `True`  | Allow allocating status points to HP.           |
| `bAllowEnhanceStat_Attack`    | `True`  | Allow allocating status points to Attack.       |
| `bAllowEnhanceStat_Stamina`   | `True`  | Allow allocating status points to Stamina.      |
| `bAllowEnhanceStat_Weight`    | `True`  | Allow allocating status points to Carry Weight. |
| `bAllowEnhanceStat_WorkSpeed` | `True`  | Allow allocating status points to Work Speed.   |

Set any to `False` to remove that stat from the enhancement screen. Points that would have gone into a disabled stat can still be spent on the remaining ones.

Common Setups [#common-setups]

Balanced PvP (no attack stacking) [#balanced-pvp-no-attack-stacking]

Stops players from snowballing raw damage while keeping mobility and utility:

```
bAllowEnhanceStat_Health=True
bAllowEnhanceStat_Attack=False
bAllowEnhanceStat_Stamina=True
bAllowEnhanceStat_Weight=True
bAllowEnhanceStat_WorkSpeed=True
```

Hardcore survival (no carry-weight cheese) [#hardcore-survival-no-carry-weight-cheese]

Keeps inventory management meaningful:

```
bAllowEnhanceStat_Weight=False
```

Disable enhancement entirely [#disable-enhancement-entirely]

```
bAllowEnhanceStat_Health=False
bAllowEnhanceStat_Attack=False
bAllowEnhanceStat_Stamina=False
bAllowEnhanceStat_Weight=False
bAllowEnhanceStat_WorkSpeed=False
```

Applying Changes [#applying-changes]

Stop the server from **Console**, edit the values on the single `OptionSettings` line, save, and start again. Changes only affect **future** point allocation — players who already spent points keep those bonuses until they respec.
