By default, Palworld limits the number of bases that each guild can build. If you're hosting a multiplayer server and want larger groups to create additional bases, you can increase this limit by modifying your server's configuration.
This guide explains where to find the configuration file, which setting to change, and how to apply the changes.
Prerequisites
Before making any changes, ensure that:
-
You have access to your server's file manager or FTP.
-
Your server is stopped before editing configuration files.
-
You create a backup of your configuration file before making changes.
Step 1: Stop Your Server
Before editing any configuration files, stop your Palworld server from your hosting panel.
This prevents your changes from being overwritten while the server is running.
Step 2: Locate the Configuration File
Navigate to the following directory:
/
└── Pal/
└── Saved/
└── Config/
└── LinuxServer/
└── PalWorldSettings.ini
On Windows servers, the folder may be:
/
└── Pal/
└── Saved/
└── Config/
└── WindowsServer/
└── PalWorldSettings.ini
Step 3: Open the Configuration File
Open the following file:
PalWorldSettings.ini
This file contains nearly all gameplay and world configuration options for your server.
Step 4: Find the Guild Base Setting
Locate the following setting:
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=3
The default value is usually:
3
which allows each guild to own up to three bases.
Step 5: Increase the Limit
Change the value to your preferred amount.
Example:
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=5
or
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=10
Example with a higher limit:
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=20
Choose a value that fits the size of your community.
Step 6: Save the File
Save your changes after editing the file.
Step 7: Start the Server
Start your Palworld server again.
The new guild base limit will be applied automatically after the server starts.
Verifying the Change
After the server has started:
-
Join the server.
-
Enter the game with a guild.
-
Attempt to place an additional Palbox after reaching the previous limit.
-
If configured correctly, your guild will now be able to create additional bases.
Example Directory Structure
/
└── Pal/
└── Saved/
└── Config/
└── LinuxServer/
└── PalWorldSettings.ini
Example Configuration
Default:
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=3
Modified:
BaseCampMaxNumInGuild=10
Important Notes
-
Higher base limits allow larger guilds to expand their settlements.
-
Increasing this value may increase server CPU and memory usage, especially on servers with many active players.
-
Very high values can affect server performance depending on your hardware and the number of structures built.
-
Existing worlds do not need to be recreated for this setting to take effect.
Troubleshooting
I can't find BaseCampMaxNumInGuild
Ensure you're editing the correct PalWorldSettings.ini file inside the LinuxServer (or WindowsServer) directory.
My changes don't apply
-
Confirm the server was stopped before editing the file.
-
Verify the file was saved successfully.
-
Restart the server after making changes.
-
Double-check the configuration syntax to ensure there are no missing commas or formatting errors.
The server resets my changes
Some hosting panels provide Startup Variables that can overwrite configuration values. Check your panel for any Palworld configuration variables that may override the settings in PalWorldSettings.ini.
Conclusion
By editing the BaseCampMaxNumInGuild setting in PalWorldSettings.ini, you can easily increase the number of bases each guild is allowed to build. This is especially useful for larger multiplayer communities that require additional space for resources, breeding, storage, or specialized production areas. Always restart the server after saving your changes to ensure the new limit is applied successfully.
