How to edit dropped item decay time on a Palworld server

Palworld includes a dropped item decay system where items left on the ground gradually disappear over time. This feature encourages players to collect resources and items they drop during their gameplay promptly. Managing dropped items is crucial to prevent loss and ensure effective resource utilization within the game.

Note: The world will also delete an item if it exceeds the dropped-item maximum value. Learn how to edit dropped-item max value here.

Note: A dropped item that has decayed before may reappear when the value is increased.
