Palworld Base Camp Performance Budget Estimator

Estimate your Palworld server performance load from base-related settings. Get a performance tier rating with tailored recommendations for your player count.

Critical: BaseCampWorkerMaxNum above 15 does NOT work correctly on dedicated servers — NPCs glitch and stutter. Keep at 15 or lower despite the setting allowing higher values.
