How to set up a dedicated server on Linux for PalWorld

1. Create a user with a home directory named palworldserver, add a SECURE password to this account

• useradd -m palworldserver
• sudo passwd palwordserver

2. Switch to palworldserver

• su - palwordserver

3. Run the following commands in /home/palworldserver

• steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit

4. Change to the server directory

• cd ~/.steam/SteamApps/common/PalServer

5. Start your server with ./PalServer.sh

Once your server has been ran once, you can shut it down and configure your options:

1. Stop your server
2. Refresh your server directory
3. cd to /Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer and either edit or replace PalWorldSettings.ini (If this directory doesnt exist, you need to run your server at least once)

IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHEN STARTING THE SERVER:

1. .steam/sdk64/steamclient.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

   • mkdir -p ~/.steam/sdk64/
   • steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1007 +quit
   • cd ~/.steam/SteamApps/common/'Steamworks SDK Redist'/linux64/ (This is how it formatted the directory on my linux, it may look different for you. It is in the common directory tho, you will see it)
   • cp steamclient.so ~/.steam/sdk64 (You NEED to use the one from the linux64 folder, if you dont you will get a different error I will list below.)
   • Start your server

2. /home/palworldserver/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

   • Please refer to the first error, step 4.

Admin Commands -

• In game, press enter and type /adminpassword PASSWORD in the chat box. This will give you admin.

RCON Access:

• Edit the PalServerSettings.ini file, and locate these two lines:
  • RCONEnabled=False, RCONPort=25575
• Change False to True, and set the port to whatever port you want to use for RCON (Make sure to open this port through port forwarding!)
• Nodecraft developed a RCON console here: https://adminpal.gg/

Memory Checker Service -

• Im lazy and dont want to write a full install thing, so only mess with this if you know what youre doin. Put the service and the timer where they need to go, and put the check_memory.sh in your server root. You can run check_memory.sh manuall without using the service/timer. The timer is set to restart the server every 3 hours currently, if you open the timer with nano or another editor you can just change the 3 to whatever number suits you.
