About Don't Starve Together
Don’t Starve Together (DST) is the standalone multiplayer expansion to Don’t Starve, the wilderness survival game from Klei Entertainment. It opened in Early Access in December 2014 and reached full release on 21 April 2016. Your group are Survivors, stranded together in the Constant.
You build a base, craft at the Science Machine and cook in the Crock Pot. Then the seasons turn. Hound waves hit the camp and low sanity brings out shadow creatures. In winter, Deerclops comes for your base. Further out are bosses such as Bearger and Dragonfly, and below ground the Caves lead down to the Ruins.
A dedicated server keeps your world online after the host logs off, so whoever is on can keep the base going while the others sleep. It also gives the surface and the Caves data centre hardware instead of a share of someone’s gaming PC.

Answers before you rent. Anything else, ask support on live chat.
Pick a plan and a location above and check out. The server is live 60 seconds later. Then paste your Klei server token into Basic Settings, restart, and the server shows up in Browse Games.
It depends mostly on the Caves and your mods. Plans come in 3 GB, 4 GB or 6 GB, or a custom plan from 3 to 6 GB, and 4 GB is our most popular plan for this game. A world with Caves runs two shards at once, so it needs more room than the Forest alone. Support can size it with you.
On six continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa. The live map above shows every location, the checkout shows your ping to each one, and every location costs the same.
Launch Don’t Starve Together, open Browse Games, type your server name into the search and click Join. Enter the password if you set one. How to join.
List the Workshop mod in dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua, switch it on in modoverrides.lua for both the Master and the Caves shard, and restart. Check each mod is up to date first.
Add your Klei user ID (it starts with KU_) to adminlist.txt in Config Manager and restart. Ping AI can write the line for you, and you paste it in yourself.
Edit worldgenoverride.lua in Config Manager, once for the Forest and once for the Caves. World-generation options such as map size and resources only apply when a new world is made. World settings guide.
Usually the token or the build. The server needs a complete Klei server token to be listed, and a server on an older build than your game drops out of Browse Games. Check the token in Basic Settings, run the update in your panel and restart.
No. Klei has no crossplay between PC, consoles and mobile, and console and mobile players cannot join a Steam dedicated server like ours. Your PingPlayers server is for players on Steam.
In Survival, when every survivor is a ghost and nobody is revived before the timer runs out, the world resets to a brand new one. The Death Reset Timer setting controls how long you get. In Endless and Wilderness the world never resets.
Yes, free on every plan. Our engineers copy your saves, mods and configs, check them and hand you the new IP, and your old server keeps running until then. How free migration works.
Two linked worlds, each running as its own shard: the surface (the Master shard) and the Caves below it, reached through sinkholes. Each has its own worldgenoverride.lua and modoverrides.lua, so set a change in both. Worlds and Caves guide.
Yes. The surface and the Caves save separately, so the Caves can be reset while your base on the surface stays. Shut the server down and ask support which Caves files to clear, then restart and fresh Caves are made.
Every plan comes with a 24-hour money-back guarantee. If the server is not right for your group, talk to support on live chat or email.
In My Servers, open the three dots on the server card, choose Billing, then View options next to Renewal settings and cancellation, and click Cancel Subscription. The server stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
Yes, with SharePay. After signup the panel gives you a link, and your group pays their share without making an account. It works on any plan, for any group size.
Yes, and switching is free on games your plan has the memory for. Ask support before you switch so you know what happens to your Don’t Starve Together files.
