How to add Steam Workshop Mods to your Dont Starve Together server

This quick-start guide shows you how to install and configure Steam Workshop mods on your Don’t Starve Together dedicated server.

Tip: Add mods one at a time. Out-of-date or broken mods are easier to spot—and remove—when you install them gradually.

Step 1 – Install Mods & Copy Their Settings

1. Stop the server.
2. Click Steam Workshop button and install the mods you want.
   • Toggle Collections if you want to install a collection.
3. On your PC, open the Don’t Starve Together Workshop page in Steam and subscribe to the exact same mods.
4. Launch Don’t Starve Together game, enable those mods, then copy the generated modoverrides.lua block (see video below).

Step 2 – Apply the Mod Configuration on the Server

1. In the control panel, go to the Configuration Files button and open the [MASTER]/modoverrides.lua and/or [CAVES]/modoverrides.lua files and paste the code you copied. 
   
   • Be aware that some mods will need to be enabled on both [MASTER] and [CAVES] modoverrides.lua files, and some mods only in one or another. Always read the mod description on the workshop page for correct installation instructions.
2. Restart the server and watch the Web Console for errors such as missing mods or extra setup steps.
