PalEggDefaultHatchingTime controls the time needed to incubate a Huge Egg, in hours. For example, a value of 1.000000 sets the base time to one hour. Other egg sizes also use incubation time.
Edit the hatch time
- Open your Palworld server in the Konnect game panel. Stop it and wait until it is offline.
- Open Files > Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini. A Windows or Proton server uses WindowsServer instead.
- Find PalEggDefaultHatchingTime inside the OptionSettings line.
- Change only its number, for example PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=1.000000. Keep the surrounding commas and parentheses.
- Save the file and start the server.
Use the file editor for settings without a Startup field. If your server has an Egg Hatch Time field, change it there so Startup does not overwrite your file edit.
Check the result
Join the server and put a new egg into an incubator. Check its countdown. Do not use an egg that was already incubating to judge a new setting.
If the time did not change, confirm you edited the active PalWorldSettings.ini, not DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini. Reopen the file after starting to check for a Startup override. An imported world can also carry settings in WorldOption.sav; keep that file and contact support rather than deleting it.
To move an existing world, read the Palworld world transfer guide.
