How To Change Your World Settings

Don’t Starve Together allows you to customize your world settings to create your own custom Don’t Starve experience. To do this, we will have to modify some files on your server.

Creating the leveldataoverride.lua

This section is to walk you through creating leveldataoverride.lua from the example file we include with all of our servers.

  1. Open the panel and select your Don’t Starve Together Server
  2. Stop your server from the Console page (You can also issue the stop command from the status bar in the panel)
  3. Open the File Manager
  4. Navigate to DoNotStarveTogether - > config -> server
  5. You will see two folders here, Caves and Master. You will need to do the following steps for both shards (Caves and Master) if you want to override settings in both.
  6. Open the select server shard
  7. Click the three dots to the right of leveldataoverride.example.lua and rename
  8. Change the file name to leveldataoverride.lua and choose RENAME to confirm the change
  9. Now you can click and edit leveldataoverride.lua to make the changes you want.

Note: Any Worldgen changes, such as world size, will require the save to be regenerated. You can follow this guide to [reset your world data](https://help.aleforge.net/article/184-how-to-reset-your-dont-starve- together-world).

[Check out this guide](https://help.aleforge.net/article/149-all- leveldataoverride-options-for-dont-starve-together) for all accepted values for the options in leveldataoverride.lua.
