Adding Mods to Your Dont Starve Together Server

you have to install mods via FTP. You can use FileZilla for this. You can download it at https://filezilla-project.org/ The mods have to be put onto the FTP upload in the mods folder. Then you will need to create and edit the dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua and list the mods:

e.g.

ServerModSetup("345692228")
ServerModSetup("346968521")
ServerModSetup("352373173")

and so on. You will get the ID from the mod folder and the Workshop URL.

To enable mods, there are two ways.

The first is to force-enable the mods. While simpler, it does not allow you to configure the mod's settings and all mods will use default configuration. To do this, the file modsettings.lua (mods/modsettings.lua) will need to be modified to force enable the mods they desire. For example, this would enable three mods from the Workshop.

ForceEnableMod("workshop-345692228")
ForceEnableMod("workshop-346968521")
ForceEnableMod("workshop-352373173")

The second option is using a modoverrides.lua file. Dedicated servers can now enable mods and set mod configurations via a file in the configuration directory named modoverrides.lua (\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\modoverrides.lua). An example of the contents of this file is

return {
    ["workshop-350811795"] = { enabled = true },
    ["workshop-387028143"] = { enabled = true },
    ["workshop-361336115"] = { enabled = true,
        configuration_options =
        {
            hunt_time = 6,
            ["String Phrase Option Name"] = "some value",
        }
    },
    ["workshop-336882447"] = { enabled = true }
}

In order to retrieve the configuration_options for the mod, you will need to browse to the mod directory and open the modinfo.lua file. Copy the entire configuration_options table and paste in your modoverrides.lua. Then configure to your liking. If there is no configuration_options table, then the mod is not configurable.

After you have done that, you simply start the server and it will load both files and therefore use the mods.
