Frequently Asked Questions about DST Servers

Our 'Cave Explorer' packages and higher have Caves pre-configured. You don't have to do anything but start the server.

You need a token from Klei to run the server. In the game, go to 'Account' -> 'Games' -> 'Game Servers' and create a Cluster Token. Enter this with us.

Enter the mod IDs in the `dedicatedservermods_setup.lua`. They are configured in the `modoverrides.lua`.

With Caves, two server processes run. We recommend at least 4 GB RAM for a stable experience with Caves.

Add your Klei User ID (KU_...) to the `adminlist.txt`. You can find your ID in the game under Account Info.

Yes, in the `worldgenoverride.lua` you can adjust resources, monsters, and seasons.

Simply restart the server. Our system installs the update automatically.

Customers can set up manual or automatic backups for a minimal fee.

By default 6, but you can increase it in the config. Note that more players affect performance.

We have servers in Germany (Frankfurt am Main) and in USA (Salt Lake City).

Yes, you can activate PvP in the server settings.

Yes, the world is saved. When all players are offline, the server pauses automatically (time stops).

Yes, you can force events in the config or leave them on 'Auto'.

The server stops. Your world remains. After topping up, it continues.

Yes, in the `cluster.ini` under `cluster_name`.

DST has no built-in Voice Chat. Use Discord or TeamSpeak.

You can play 'Wilderness' mode or use items like the 'Celestial Portal' to change characters.

Yes, client mods (like Minimap HUD) work as long as the server does not explicitly forbid them.

The server pauses automatically when no player is on it. You don't have to stop it manually (except to save money).

Yes, in the `cluster.ini` under `cluster_password`.

Don't Starve Together Server Hosting: Survival with Style

Don't Starve Together (DST) is unique. The art style, the humor, and the merciless difficulty make it a co-op hit. But if you want to play 'properly', you need the Caves. Technically, this requires two servers connected to each other (Shards). At RespawnHost, this is no problem.

Why rent a DST server at RespawnHost?

A complete DST server consists of two processes: Master (Overworld) and Caves (Underworld). This doubles the RAM and CPU requirements. Our packages are designed to run both instances stably so you can seamlessly switch between worlds without the server crashing.

Features for Survivors

  • Caves Support: Full support for Overworld and Underworld (Sharding)
  • Mod Support: Easy installation of server and client mods
  • Token System: Easy authentication with your Klei token
  • World Options: Adjust seasons, resources, and monsters
  • DDoS Protection: Security for your world
  • Backup System: Protect your progress (Rollback possible)

With our Pay-Per-Use model, you only pay when you play. Perfect for fixed playgroups that meet in the evening.

Fairness through Pay-Per-Use

Why pay for a server when everyone is sleeping? At RespawnHost, you start the server before the session and stop it afterwards. So you save money and only pay for real playtime.
