Guides

Save File Locations

Host/Co-op:

%localappdata%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\YOURID\RANDOMID\

Dedicated Server:

steamapps\common\Palworld\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\RANDOMSERVERID\

Map Unlock

Click to expand map unlock instructions

1. Copy LocalData.sav from src\resources\
2. Find your server/world save folder
3. Replace the existing LocalData.sav with the copied file
4. Launch the game with a fully unlocked map

Note: Use the Tools → Restore Map option in PST to apply the unlocked map to ALL your worlds/servers at once with automatic backups.

Host → Server Transfer

Click to expand host to server transfer guide

1. Copy Level.sav and Players folder from host save
2. Paste to dedicated server save folder
3. Start server, create a new character
4. Wait for auto-save, then close
5. Use Fix Host Save to migrate GUIDs
6. Copy files back and launch

Using Fix Host Save:

• Select the Level.sav from your temporary folder
• Choose the old character (from original save)
• Choose the new character (you just created)
• Click Migrate

Host Swap (Changing Host)

Click to expand host swap guide

Background:

• Host always uses 0001.sav — same UID for whoever hosts
• Each client uses a unique regular UID save (e.g., 123xxx.sav, 987xxx.sav)

Prerequisites: Both players (old host and new host) must have their regular saves generated. This happens by joining the host's world and creating a new character.

Steps:

1. Ensure Regular Saves Exist

   • Player A (old host) should have a regular save (e.g., 123xxx.sav)
   • Player B (new host) should have a regular save (e.g., 987xxx.sav)

2. Swap Old Host's Host Save to Regular Save

   • Use PalworldSaveTools Fix Host Save to swap:
   • Old host's 0001.sav → 123xxx.sav
   • (This moves old host's progress from host slot to their regular player slot)

3. Swap New Host's Regular Save to Host Save

   • Use PalworldSaveTools Fix Host Save to swap:
   • New host's 987xxx.sav → 0001.sav
   • (This moves new host's progress into the host slot)

Result:

• Player B is now the host with their own character and pals in 0001.sav
• Player A becomes a client with their original progress in 123xxx.sav

struct.error when parsing save

2. This triggers an automatic structure update
3. Ensure the save was updated on or after the latest game patch

GamePass converter not working

Solution:
