Whether you’re transitioning from a local setup to a more robust server environment or moving to a new Palworld Dedicated Server<\/a><\/b> at Hostinger, uploading your existing game world can enhance your gameplay experience. This guide provides a step-by-step process to securely transfer and set up your world so you can keep enjoying your adventure.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Step 1 – Preparations<\/h2>

Make sure you have set up your VPS hosting and created the Palworld instance.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Step 2 – Locate Your Palworld World Files<\/h2>

Navigate to the directory where your Palworld world is saved on your local machine or current server<\/b>. While the location might vary depending on your setup, typically it will follow a path similar to this: <\/p>

\n<\/p>
Step 3- Upload Your World Files<\/h2>
Log in to your Game Panel VPS, navigate to your Palworld instance and select File manager<\/b>.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
<\/div>
\n<\/p>
Next, navigate to the following path:<\/p>
\/Pal\/Saved\/SaveGames\/0 folder <\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
Once there, upload files from your local machine or current server.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
<\/div>
\n<\/p>
Step 4 – Configure Your Server to Use the Uploaded World<\/h3>
After transferring the existing world save, you will have to access the GameUserSettings.ini <\/b>file on the following location:<\/p>
\/Pal\/Saved\/Config\/LinuxServer\/GameUserSettings.ini<\/code><\/pre>
Open it using the file manager and replace the DedicatedServerName<\/b> with the folder name where you copied the files.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
<\/div>
\n<\/p>
Make sure to save the changes. Once your world is uploaded and the server configuration is updated, restart<\/b> your Palworld server. <\/p>
\n<\/p>
<\/div>
\n<\/p>
This ensures the new settings take effect and the server loads your existing world.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Uploading your existing world to your Palworld server is a great way to continue your adventure on a more powerful platform that you can also share with your frieds. By following these steps, you can ensure that your world is transferred safely<\/b> and set up correctly<\/b> on your new server. <\/p>
\n<\/p>
Always remember to back up your world before making any changes<\/b> – this way, your digital creations and progress is preserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
