How this estimate works

We start from Palworld’s published server requirements (at least 8 GB), then add memory for each player, each of your mods and your how far into the game, and round up to a whole GB. It’s an estimate based on typical usage: a world that has been played for a long time, or heavy mods, can need more. Source for the minimum.
