How to Enable the Global Palbox on Your Palworld Server

The Global Palbox is Palworld's cloud storage for Pals: it lets players pull any stored Pal out of any Palbox, and even carry Pals between servers. On a dedicated server it ships half on. Saving Pals to it is allowed, but loading them back is switched off, so you have to flip both settings yourself. This guide shows the two lines to add and where.

What the Global Palbox does

Normally a Pal only lives in the specific Palbox you built it into. The Global Palbox turns that into shared storage: a Pal deposited at one base can be withdrawn at any other base, or on another server that also has import enabled. It has two independent directions, each with its own server flag: export (upload a Pal to the cloud) and import (download a Pal back out).

The two settings you need

Both keys go in the OptionSettings block of PalWorldSettings.ini:

bAllowGlobalPalboxExport=True
bAllowGlobalPalboxImport=True

• bAllowGlobalPalboxExport lets players save Pals to the Global Palbox.
• bAllowGlobalPalboxImport lets players load Pals back out of it.

Export is on by default. Import is the one dedicated servers disable, which is exactly why Pals go in but never come back until you set it to True.

Enable it in the DoomHosting panel (easiest)

On a DoomHosting Palworld server you can flip both settings without touching any files:

1. Open your server in the panel and go to Config.
2. Find the Global Palbox section.
3. Turn on Allow Pal import (and Allow Pal export, if you ever turned it off).
4. Save, then restart the server so the new values load.

Or edit PalWorldSettings.ini directly

Prefer the file, or hosting elsewhere? Add the two keys by hand:

1. Go to Files and open Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini.
2. Find the single long OptionSettings=(...) line and add both keys inside the parentheses, each separated by a comma.
3. Save, then restart the server.

Unlock and place the Global Palbox in game

The server flags only open the door. Each player still has to unlock the Global Palbox in the technology tree, then build it: press B for the build menu and place it at a base. Once it is standing, players use it to upload or download Pals within whatever the two flags allow.

Common issues

• Pals upload but never download. bAllowGlobalPalboxImport is still False. Set it to True and restart.
• Nothing changed after editing. The server was not restarted, or the file was edited on your own PC instead of on the server. Only the copy under Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ on the server is read.
• The key is ignored. It has to sit inside the existing OptionSettings=(...) line. Keys placed on their own line outside that block do nothing.
• Players cannot find the box. It must be researched in the tech tree and built before anyone can use it.
