Palworld dedicated server Linux questions answered

Palworld server basics

Can GeekCrest help with a Palworld dedicated server Linux host?

Yes, over SSH. GeekCrest itself runs on Windows 10 or 11, but SSH reaches a Linux or Windows server you own, so the agent can read logs and edit PalWorldSettings.ini there. On Linux the settings folder is LinuxServer instead of WindowsServer.

Where is PalWorldSettings.ini on a Windows server?

On Windows it is in the Pal\Saved\Config\WindowsServer folder inside the server folder, and it appears after the first start. Check the file name first. If you changed settings for a tamer playstyle in Palworld and nothing seems to change, check that you edited PalWorldSettings.ini and not the template, DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini.

What if a Palworld update resets players on my dedicated server?

A backup made before the update is the way back. Always back up first. Copy Pal\Saved\SaveGames before every update, and restore the copy if player data is missing afterwards, then read the Palworld server documentation for what changed.

Can I move my single-player world to a server?

Player data is tied to player IDs, so a move may not work. Back up first. Before you transfer a savefile to a dedicated server, copy both the single-player save and the server's SaveGames folder to a safe place, then follow the Palworld server documentation step by step and check the result in the game.

Using GeekCrest

Is geekchicpro.com the official GeekCrest website?

Yes, geekchicpro.com is the official GeekCrest website. The download page offers the original build, and you can compare its SHA-256 checksum with the published manifest before you run it. Verify first. If you have a question, use the Send feedback button inside GeekCrest.

Does the code always work?

No. GeekCrest does not promise that a script, a setting or an explanation is right, because a model can make mistakes. Read the diff, run your own test command and join the game to check the result before you rely on a change.

Which approval mode suits a server?

Ask first is the usual starting point, because it pauses before actions that change something and shows the file diff. Plan only runs nothing. Auto-run acts at once, so use it only on files you have backed up.

How do I set a Palworld server password with GeekCrest?

ServerPassword is the setting players need to join, and AdminPassword is a separate one for admin commands. Stop the server first. Ask GeekCrest to change the value in PalWorldSettings.ini, accept the diff and restart. A cloud model sees the file text the agent reads, so mask both passwords or use a local model.

Models, privacy and download

Does my server data leave my PC?

The answer is two-part. With a cloud model, the prompt text, including file text the agent reads, goes to that provider, and with a local model nothing leaves the machine. Chats, working folders and API keys stay on your PC either way.

Which models can I connect?

A cloud AI provider through a standard API endpoint, a model running locally on your PC, or the built-in model. The Test button shows the response time and the context window. Test before the first task.

Why does Windows warn me about the installer?

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning. Check the checksum. Compare the SHA-256 checksum with the published manifest, and only after the two values match choose More info, then Run anyway.
