Don't Starve Together mod
A mod the app installs and turns on in the game's mods folder. It runs in the world you host.
DST · your world
The effect shows up in your game almost instantly: the creature next to you, the rain starting or winter arriving.
STEP BY STEP
Getting started
Everything happens from the game's status bar, at the bottom of the app.
- 1
The app finds your game
It detects your Steam copy of Don't Starve Together on its own. If it lives in another folder, pick it with «Set path» in the bar below.
- 2
Install the mod in one click
Press «Install mod». The app copies it into the game's mods folder and leaves it enabled: no need to go through the Mods menu.
Mods load when the game starts: if it was open, close it and open it again.
- 3
Open the game
Press «Launch game»: the app reminds you how to play and opens Don't Starve Together through Steam. You can also open it as usual.
- 4
Host your world
In the game menu go to «Play» and then «Host Game», and load or create your world. Once the world is loaded, the bar below switches to «Running · Connected».
- 5
Choose what each gift does
In «Profiles» create an example one in a click or build your own: each gift, follow or chat command fires the effect you pick.
EFFECTS
What your chat can do

IMPORTANT
Before you go live
You have to host the match
The mod runs in the world you host («Play» → «Host Game»). If you join someone else's server, effects won't work.
Restart after installing or updating
Don't Starve Together loads mods at startup. If the mod doesn't show up, open the game's Mods menu, enable «OverInteractive» and restart the game.
Experimental mod
Some effects are still being tuned. Test the commands before using them live.
Nobody else needs the mod
Effects happen in your world: players who join your match don't have to install anything.
FAQ
Yes. Effects run in the world the host runs, so it has to be yours.
Load your world with «Host Game»: the mod connects once the world is running. If it still won't connect, check that «OverInteractive» is enabled in the Mods menu and restart the game.
No. Only whoever hosts the match needs it.
In the ⋯ menu of the bar below, «How to play».
From the ⋯ menu in the bar below, «Uninstall mod». The mod is deleted and disabled in the game.
