Palworld Custom Server Settings
Palworld dedicated server settings can be changed by editing the PalWorldSettings.ini file located in the /Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ directory on your server.
Go to the Game control panel, access your server page, then click "File managers" to access your server files via the web interface. Alternatively you can use the SFTP protocol to connect and manage the files with any desktop FTP client.
Make sure your server is stopped before making changes!
By default this file may be empty so you must use the correct formatting for custom settings to work.
[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]OptionSettings=(ExpRate=4.000000,PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=1.000000)
Custom options are added under the line "[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]" in parentheses after "OptionSettings=" as shown in the example above. Custom settings are separated with a comma.
Steam user "Private Ryan" has a popular toxic giving a good explanation of some common settings and their values:

For most settings with rate values, 1.000000 value is the default, so changing to 0.500000 would halve the time and 2.000000 would double the time.
