Description of the steps involved in taking a save file from the Palworld Dedicated Server installed through steam for Windows and bringing them over to linux
  1. In steam right click the Palword Dedicated Server > Manage > Show files
  2. The save is in the folder called Pal
  3. Open Saved/SaveGames/0/<some_random_letters_and_numbers>/
  4. You should probably see some files like Level.sav, and Players.
  5. Select them all > Right click > Compress.

Now send them to your linux server. I uploaded to discord then used wget to download onto the server from linux. But scp / etc should also work.

  1. Start your server for the first time. 1.5) You may have to join it once. Don't worry, we'll delete the character you create in this step.
  2. Stop your server
  3. It'll auto create Saved/SaveGames/0/<some_random_letters_and_numbers>/
  4. Open the above folder. rm -rf * to delete the contents.
  5. unzip your zip from step 5 here.
  6. Start your server again
