The dontstarvetogether.properties file is where your server's configurations and settings are stored.
Whilst the default configuration of Don't Starve Together is suitable for most players, being able to customise your server is a great way to personalise it. With our control panel, this is made extremely easy so you do not have to manually edit the file from your server directory.
Accessing Your Server Settings
- Access your control panel and navigate to Files > Config Files.
- Open Don't Starve Together Server Settings.
