Why Host Your Don't Starve Together Server on Flux?

A Don't Starve Together world is a long project: the base, the farms, the Crock Pot and the chests full of what you gathered before winter. Hosted from someone's own game, it stops when they log off. A dedicated Don't Starve Together server keeps it there for the whole group, whoever is playing.

Every plan runs the surface and the Caves, linked as they are in a game you host yourself, with dedicated vCores and memory reserved for your server on a decentralized cloud of thousands of independent nodes across 50+ countries.

The fiddly parts are handled. Paste your free Klei cluster token and pick a play style; add Workshop mods and set their options from a form; change the world's seasons, creatures and resources with the game's own options. An outdated server disappears from the server list, so this one checks for game and mod updates every 30 minutes and restarts itself onto them, after warning the players.

You still get an ordinary management panel: the server console in the browser, a file browser, a live terminal and backups. Plans start at $4.49/month, billing is pay-as-you-go with no contract, and your world is downloadable whenever you want it.

Don't Starve Together Server Features Explained

Two worlds, one server

A Don't Starve Together server with Caves is two servers, called shards: the surface and the Caves, linked so players move between them through the sinkholes. Every plan here runs both, side by side. Switch the Caves off if your group does not want them, and on again later: the sinkholes are already in the world.

Your Klei cluster token

Every dedicated server logs into Klei with a cluster token, or it does not start. Make one for free at accounts.klei.com and paste it when you deploy. If Klei ever refuses it, the dashboard says so and why, instead of leaving you with a server that never appears.

Mods and world options as forms

Workshop mods are added by ID, link or collection, and each mod's own options, read from the mod itself, are dropdowns rather than lines of Lua. The world's options are the game's own Host Game choices, for the surface and the Caves.

Never left behind by an update

A server running an older build than the players disappears from their server list. This one checks for a new game build and for updated mods every 30 minutes, warns the players, gives them five minutes, saves and restarts onto it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our hosting service

$4.49/month for 4 players (1.5 vCores, 3 GB of RAM, 12 GB of storage), $5.49/month for 8 players (2 vCores, 4.5 GB, 15 GB) and $6.99/month for 16 players (2.5 vCores, 6 GB, 25 GB). Every plan runs the surface and the Caves. Billing is pay-as-you-go with no long-term contract.
Yes, on every plan. The surface and the Caves run side by side, linked as in a game you host yourself, and players go down through the sinkholes (mine one open with a pickaxe first). You can switch the Caves off, and on again later: a world made without them already has its sinkholes.
Every Don't Starve Together dedicated server logs into Klei's servers with a cluster token, or it does not start at all. It is free: sign in at accounts.klei.com, open Games, then Game Servers, add a new server and copy the token (it starts with pds-g^KU_). Paste it when you deploy.
Klei refuses it and the server cannot start. The dashboard says so and why, and the server tries again every 15 minutes, so a new token pasted into Deployment Settings is picked up with the redeploy.
Survival, Relaxed, Endless, Wilderness and Lights Out, the same five as the game's Host Game screen. Changing it later changes the world's settings on the next restart; the map itself stays.
Add mod IDs or links, or a whole Workshop collection, when you deploy or in the Mods tab. The server downloads them on every start, the Mods tab shows each mod's own settings as dropdowns, and it flags mods that only players install, which do nothing on a server.
