phase-2026-03-08-1-server-verify Phase

Project
Goal: Verify existing Palworld server is running on k3s, rename to "Pal-E World", tune settings for co-op, confirm Lucas and James can connect.
Owner: Dev agent
Repo: forgejo_admin/palworld-server
Depends on: None
Forgejo Issue: forgejo_admin/palworld-server #2

Scope

  • [x] Verify palworld-server pod is running (CONFIRMED: 1/1 Running)
  • [x] Clean up stale pods (deleted UnexpectedAdmissionError client, failed daily-reboot job)
  • [x] Update server name to "Pal-E World" in k3s.tfvars.example
  • [x] Update README with Pal-E World branding
  • [x] PR submitted: forgejo_admin/palworld-server #4 — QA approved, awaiting merge
  • [ ] Update local k3s.tfvars with server_name = "Pal-E World"
  • [ ] tofu apply to push name change to cluster
  • [ ] Verify RCON access
  • [ ] Verify connection via Tailscale IP on UDP 8211
  • [ ] Tune PalWorldSettings.ini for co-op (base limits, worker pals, kid-friendly difficulty)

Status

PAUSED. PR #4 open and approved, awaiting merge. Remaining items are manual (tofu apply, settings tuning, connection test). Paused to avoid conflicting with other palworld-server work Lucas is doing.
