Don't Starve Together

Config Generator

Fill in the fields below to generate a ready-to-use cluster.ini for your Don't Starve Together dedicated server. For the full setup walkthrough -- getting the server files, required ports and starting it up -- see the Don't Starve Together setup guide. Not sure your hardware is up to it? Check compatibility first.

The main cluster identity and gameplay file, in <Your Klei Folder>/MyDediServer/cluster.ini. A DST cluster also needs a cluster_token.txt (from your Klei account) that this generator doesn't produce.
