Palworld Egg Hatching Time, Work Speed and Hunger Settings

Breeding and base automation can feel slow, especially on a small server. Several keys in PalWorldSettings.ini let you adjust the pace.

Key names

• PalEggDefaultHatchingTime: base hatch time for the longest-hatching eggs, listed with a default of 72.000000 hours. Smaller eggs hatch faster.
• WorkSpeedRate: multiplier for the work speed of Pals.
• CollectionDropRate: multiplier for resources gathered.
• PalStomachDecreaceRate: how quickly Pals get hungry. The key really is spelled Decreace.

Other multipliers for player hunger, stamina or Pal health exist, but check your own file for the exact names before editing.

Hatching

Lowering PalEggDefaultHatchingTime makes huge eggs hatch quicker. Setting it to a small number such as 1.000000 makes hatching very fast. For a gentle boost, try 12.000000 to 24.000000.

Work speed

WorkSpeedRate at 2.000000 doubles work output. This speeds crafting, farming and production, and can reduce the time players spend waiting. High values make the game easier, so use them if your group prefers a relaxed pace.

Steps

1. Stop the server.
2. Open PalWorldSettings.ini in Files.
3. Edit the values inside the OptionSettings line.
4. Save, start the server and test.

Hunger

Lowering PalStomachDecreaceRate means Pals eat less often, which helps players who cannot log in daily. A value below 1.000000 slows hunger.

Balance advice

• Raise one value at a time.
• Do not change everything at once, or the game loses its sense of progress.
• Ask your players what feels slow before you tune.

Common mistakes

• Misspelling the key, especially the Decreace one.
• Editing while the server runs.
• Setting extreme values that trivialise progression.

Items already in progress may not change instantly, so test with a new egg. Our Discord team can review your settings if something does not apply.
