Palworld server modding

OS Name/Version: Debian 13

Product Name/Version: AMP Release “Proteus” v2.8.0.2, built 12/07/2026 17:27

Problem Description:

I have a problem with a Palworld server where I have many hours of playtime, and I wanted to install mods. However, it’s not working because the PalModSettings.ini file keeps resetting itself after every server restart. I read in another post that there’s a separate instance for modded Palworld, and I wanted to know if it’s possible to install the mods on a normal server afterward, or if I need a new instance. If so, is there an easy way to transfer my old save file to the new instance?

Steps to reproduce:

  • Step 1: Drag mods into the mods folder
  • Step 2: geh in die PalMod Settings.ini stell den Punkt auf True und gib den text auch in die ini ein ActiveModList=YourPackageName
  • Step 3: Restart the Server

Actions taken to resolve so far:

Tried it several times. Also with the folders used for mods on the client. Searched for videos and other tickets with a similar problem.
