Add Official Palworld Dedicated Server Egg / Template

[rikurunico]

Feature Request: Palworld Dedicated Server Support

Context
Palworld has gained significant adoption and is increasingly hosted using container-based environments.
Currently, running Palworld servers on Pterodactyl requires custom images, manual startup scripts,
or community-maintained workarounds, which increases operational complexity and inconsistency.

Proposed Feature
Add an official Palworld Dedicated Server egg (or equivalent template) to Pterodactyl, including:

• SteamCMD-based installation
• Configurable startup variables (port, max players, world name, etc.)
• Proper handling of updates and server restarts
• Log visibility compatible with the Pterodactyl console
• Optional support for community-recommended launch flags

Why This Matters

• Reduces friction for new users hosting Palworld servers
• Improves standardization and maintainability
• Avoids duplicated effort across the community
• Aligns with Pterodactyl’s existing support for popular game servers

Current Workarounds
Users currently rely on:

• Custom Docker images
• Manual SteamCMD execution
• Non-standard entrypoints

These approaches work but undermine the consistency and ease-of-use Pterodactyl is known for.

Expected Impact
This would benefit:

• Hosting providers
• Communities running multiple Palworld instances
• Individual users migrating from ad-hoc setups to Pterodactyl

If needed, I am willing to help test or validate the egg once available.

Thank you for considering this request.
