Game Modes - Don't Starve Together
There are three main game modes, with the option to add more through mods.
This is the default mode, designed to be more challenging and cooperative. In this mode, players who die turn into ghosts, which decrease the sanity of living players (between 3.3 and 10 points per minute). If all players die, a timer appears, and if no one revives before time runs out, the world resets.
This mode offers a more relaxed experience without forcing players to cooperate. The world never resets here, and players can revive themselves at the portal.
Inspired by other survival games, this mode spawns players in random locations on the map, and they do not turn into ghosts upon death. When a player dies, they return to the character selection screen and reappear in a new random location. There are no revival items.
Go to the Startup tab.
In the Startup Settings section, locate Game Mode.
Enter the desired Game Mode.
Enter only valid values in lowercase: survival, endless, or wilderness.
If you need further assistance, please create a ticket here.
