If you need the different Palworld World Settings explained to you, then look no further as you set up your custom island in the game.
If you're booting up Palworld for the first time, or want to try something new in the creature collection survival game, then the World Settings are your best friend. These let you customize your experience in a variety of ways.
There are the basic settings that involve difficulty and multiplayer functionality. Then it gets a bit deeper when you open up the Custom Settings option. We'll walk you through all of them so you know exactly what you're adjusting before you create your world.
All Palworld World Settings and what they do
There are three basic settings you'll start with:
- World Name: This one is easy. Type in the name of your world.
- Multiplayer: Toggle if multiplayer is or isn't allowed in your world.
- Difficulty: Select from four difficulty settings.
- Casual for those new to survival games
- Normal for survival game regulars
- Hard for survival game veterans
- Custom for an adventure like no other
Each difficulty setting in the Palworld World Settings changes how fast you gain EXP, how easy you can catch Pals, and what happens to your inventory when you die. Customizing these settings can make your time in Palworld as easy or as terrifying as you'd like.
