Previously known as Damage Settings
Description
A mod which allows you to set a wide range of modifiers for hidden game settings and adds a few new ones. Now you can have wild pals do more damage while nerfing player pal damage, make trees shake forever when chopping (yes, really) and make all pals !
Features
- 5 general damage settings
- 12 PVE damage settings
- 4 PVP damage settings
- 4 world modifiers
- 62 character modifiers
- 11 effects / UI modifiers.
... yes, that's 98 total!
Installation
Simply place the folder inside the downloaded .7z file into your main game directory after installing UE4SS. I also recommend adding "MoreGameWorldSettings: 1" as a line immediately after the "Keybinds : 1" line and before all other mods in your Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\Mods\mods.txt file. This is in case of another mod you use which modifies the settings this mod changes, so your preferred settings aren't overwritten by MGWS.
To uninstall: close the game (client) or shutdown the server (dedicated server), then delete the MoreGameWorldSettings folder at Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\Mods. You can also remove the line you added to mods.txt if you prefer, although it shouldn't be necessary. Now open the game or server again and everything will be back to defaults.
Compatibility
MGWS is compatible with all known existing mods. However, the settings effect a wide range of things in Palworld and could be confusing when used in tandem with the vanilla World Settings. Keep this in mind when using the mod and when reporting issues.
Bug Reports
Ensure you have installed the mod correctly before making a report. Then, enable the Logging setting in config.lua and try to reproduce your issue. You will see a lot of information in Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\UE4SS.log, which is very useful to me. Send this to me, in a PM is preferable as the file can be quite large. The other option is to upload it to a host like Pastebin and comment the link on the modpage.

The mod isn't working!
Ensure there hasn't been an installation issue. The .7z contains the mod folder, it is not meant to be placed into the mods directory itself. You must unpack the folder from that file. Additionally, if you are using Vortex, it may not be installing properly, so attempt a manual installation. I don't use Vortex so I have no idea why this happens. Nitrado servers appear to have specific setups for modding, I would recommend switching to a better host, personally.
But x setting is the same!
Make sure this is actually the case. If you aren't on a server or can isolate the playerbase so there isn't any unintended consequences, set a really high value or even a value of 0. Any value of 0 should nullify all damage. If you still have issues, report the issue for me to look into.
Can I install this on an existing world / server?
Yes. MGWS can be added or removed at any time within a singleplayer or multiplayer server. You must restart the game / server for the old settings to be recovered.
Do all clients need it on a server?
No, only the server needs it installed.
