## Key Files

|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|

|
| `/home/steam/palworld-server/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini` | Server settings |
|
|

## Server Details
|
|
|
|
- Unprivileged LXC with nesting, auto-starts on boot
|
|
- Runs as `steam` user (never root)
|
|
- Launch flags: `-useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -UseMultithreadForDS -players=16`
|
|
- REST API enabled for admin tools (port 8212, LAN only)
|
|
- Backup saves enabled (`bIsUseBackupSaveData=True`)
|
|
- Autosave every 30 seconds (default)
|
|
- Running on HDD-backed storage (local-lvm) — fine for small group play
|
|
|
|
## Setup Notes
|
|
|
|
- SteamCMD requires `+@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType linux` to avoid "Missing configuration" error
|
|
- DNS: switched from 8.8.8.8 to local gateway (10.10.0.1) to fix intermittent resolution failures
|
|
- SteamCMD experiences frequent "No Connection" disconnects during downloads but recovers and completes
