Transferring Your Host Character

After following the steps above, here's how to use Palworld Save Pal to transfer your co-op host character to your new character. This process is also known as a host save fix.

Ensure your server is stopped before proceeding.

  1. Download the standalone version of Palworld Save Pal, a free save editing tool, from its latest release.
  2. Extract the zip and open psp.exe.
  3. Select Steam as the Save Platform, then navigate to your downloaded save folder and open Level.sav. Level.sav should be in the same folder as your downloaded LevelMeta.sav and Players folder.
  4. In the Palworld Save Pal sidebar, go to Tools and click UID Swap.
  5. Select the host character 00000001.sav for Player A and your new server character for Player B, then click Swap ID's and Confirm Swap. Once done, click Save in the sidebar.
  6. Upload the updated Players folder and Level.sav and LevelMeta.sav files to your server again, replacing any existing files.
  7. Start your server.
