Palworld Dedicated Server (SteamCMD) [English/Englisch] [Windows]
By Zeromix
This guide will show you how to set up a server with the SteamCMD.

The following ports must be open:
UDP/TCP 8211

Also you will need 4GB of hard drive disk space.

German Version:

I also created a tool, that automates the installation process. You can find this tool here:

SteamCMD Download
First of all you need the SteamCMD. You can download it here:
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip

Extract it in a new folder and run it.
SteamCMD Login
First we need to create the server for the download:
force_install_dir ./palworld_ds/

After that, we can login via
login anonymous
Server Files Download
Now you can start the download with:
app_update 2394010 validate

If the download was sucessful, you have to type
exit
in the console close the SteamCMD.
Run the Server
The best option is to create a .bat file in your "palworld_ds" folder (e.g. Run.bat)
Edit the .bat file with following code:
start PalServer.exe -ServerName="Zero Test" -port=8211 -players=32 -log -nosteam -publiclobby

In this case "Zero Test" will be the server name, while
"-publiclobby" makes sure, that the server will be shown as "Community Server:"

To shutdown your server, simple use "CTRL+C."
Server Configuration
You can find the Config file here:
...\palworld_ds\Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\PalWorldSettings.ini

This file will be empty.
However, you can find the file "DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini" in your root folder of this server.

Just copy and paste the text from "DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini" into "PalWorldSettings.ini" and change, what you want to change.

More details about all this can be found here:

Frequently Asked Questions
I can not see my server / No one can connect to my server
Please make sure, that you have opened all the required ports in your router. If the everything is set correctly, but the problem still occurs, please contact your internet provider.
Or look for your router model here:
https://portforward.com/router.htm

Is there another way instead of opening the ports?
Yes, you can also host your server through a VPN network like "Hamachi". Of course only the people in the VPN network will be able to join the server then.
If forwarding your ports doesn´t work, please contact your ISP, i won´t be able to help you.

How can i change my server port?
Just edit the bat file with "-port=8211"

The SteamCMD download failed! What should I do now?
Mostly you just need to retry the download, then the problem should be fixed.

How do I update my server?
Just open the SteamCMD and login again, then retry the Step "Downloading the files" it will be checked which files need to be updated.
