Palworld
Palworld Server Planner
Four questions, then we read Palworld's official server figures for your situation. Every number you see is published by the game's own server guide — we decide which of its figures applies to you, and we say why.
Context for the rest of the answers. On its own it does not change the figures.
Mods give the server more to keep track of.
Worlds accumulate bases, Pals and structures as they are played.
Things like higher spawn rates or raised base and capture limits.
Answer all four to see a recommendation.
How this works, and what it will not do
The official guide publishes two memory figures and does not break them down by group size, mods or how long a world has been running. So this planner does not calculate anything. It weighs up your answers, decides which of the guide's own figures fits, and shows it to you.
- It will never turn a number of players into an amount of RAM. The guide does not connect the two, and neither will we.
- It will not add gigabytes for mods, world age or settings. Those change which figure we point you at, not the figure itself.
- If your answers do not justify the larger-environment figure, it says extra headroom may be sensible rather than making up a number in between.
The full official list, including the network port and operating systems, is on the Palworld server requirements page. Once you know the figures, self-host or rent weighs up whether your own machine is the right place to meet them.
