How do I become admin on a Palworld server?
Set an admin password in the server settings file, then authenticate in the in-game console with the admin command and that password.
Do console commands work in single-player Palworld?
A limited set works on a local world. The full moderation command set is intended for dedicated servers.
Can console commands ban a player permanently?
Yes. Ban commands persist against the player's identifier, which is why you should list players and confirm the identifier first.
Will using commands break my save?
Standard admin commands are safe. Third-party trainers and memory editors are what corrupt saves — avoid them.
How do I force a save before a restart?
Run the save command from an authenticated admin console, then use a timed shutdown with a broadcast so clients disconnect cleanly.
