To modify the server settings, you need to open the location of the server configuration file. If you are using Steam tools, you can navigate to the file location by selecting "Browse Local Files" in Steam.
Using FTP Software for Rental Servers
If you want to make detailed configuration changes on a rental server, you can access the file location using FTP software. Some rental server companies may also have unofficial server configuration managers that allow you to make settings through them.
Open DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini
Once you have opened the file location, open DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini. After opening the file, copy all the contents without making any changes and proceed to the next step.
Paste the contents into PalWorldSettings.ini
