Adding admins to your Don't Starve Together server

Admins are listed by their Klei ID in a file called adminlist.txt on your server. You create it on the Files tab of the dashboard.

Get your Klei ID​

There are two ways to find a Klei ID.

Method 1: on the server​

  1. Connect to your server and type c_listallplayers() in the console. You can also type it in the console on the Overview tab of the dashboard (see Send a command).
  2. You see a list of the players connected to the server. Find your name and copy your Klei ID. It starts with KU_.

Method 2: on the Klei website​

  1. Go to Klei Entertainment and log in with your Steam account.
  2. Once logged in, you see your Klei ID.

Create the adminlist.txt file​

  1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your Don't Starve Together server.
  2. Select the Files tab and open the folder DoNotStarveTogether/config/server.
  3. If adminlist.txt is already there, select it to open it. Otherwise select New file, enter adminlist.txt as the name and select Create (see Create a file or folder). The name must be exactly adminlist.txt. The new file opens in the editor.
  4. Paste your Klei ID on the first line. To add more admins, put each Klei ID on its own line.
  5. Select Save file.
  6. Restart the server (see Power controls) and connect to it.

If it worked, you see a star icon next to your character portrait:

To remove an admin, delete their line from adminlist.txt, save the file and restart the server.
