Setting a password on your Don't Starve Together server

The server password is the cluster_password setting in your server's cluster.ini file. Your server may also have it as a startup setting. Check the startup settings first.

In the startup settings

1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your Don't Starve Together server.
2. Select the Configuration tab, select General in the list on the left, then the Startup group (see Startup).
3. If there is a startup setting for the cluster password, enter your password there. Leave it empty for a server without a password.
4. Select Save in the bar at the bottom.
5. Restart the server (see Power controls).

A startup setting is written into cluster.ini every time the server starts, so if your server has one, always change the password there.

In cluster.ini

If your server has no startup setting for the password, set it in cluster.ini:

1. On the Files tab, open the folder DoNotStarveTogether/config/server and select cluster.ini to open it in the editor (see Edit a file).

2. In the [NETWORK] section, set your password after cluster_password:

   cluster_password = yourpassword

3. Select Save file.

4. Restart the server.

That's it. Players now need the password to join your server.
