How to Become a Don’t Starve Together Admin
Before you can become a Don’t Starve Together admin, you will need your KU ID, an ID provided by your Don’t Starve account. To access this, load Don’t Starve Together and, at the main menu, press “Account”.
Inside your Don’t Starve Together account you’ll see your “User Info” and, more importantly, the “Klei User ID” of your account. Copy your ID and save this for the next steps to become an admin on your game server!
With that ID in hand, follow these steps to become an admin:
- Head to your Don’t Starve Together Nitrado server webinterface and stop your server.
- Then, to the left under “Tools”, click “File Browser”.
- In your server files, head to the “dontstarve” folder.
- After, create a new file named “adminlist.txt”.
- Once created, add you and your admin’s Klei User ID, one per line, like this:
- Finally, after adding those IDs press “Save Changes” and start your server.
Once your server is online, you and your admins will now have access to Don’t Starve Together admin commands!
