Don’t Starve Together server commands are Lua functions such as c_save(), c_rollback(1) and c_announce("text"). On FREAKHOSTING, type them into the Game Panel Console to run them on your overworld. In the game, admins open the console with ~, press Ctrl to switch to remote mode and type the same commands. Most commands need brackets, and text goes in double quotes.

How to run a command from the Game Panel

1

Open the console

Open your server in the Game Panel and click Console. See the console guide.
2

Type the command

Type the command exactly, for example c_save(), and press Enter.
3

Read the result

The answer appears in the console output.
Commands typed in the panel console run on the overworld (Master). The caves run as a second server alongside it.

How to run a command in game

1

Become admin

Add your Klei User ID to adminlist.txt. See add admins.
2

Open the console

Press ~ (tilde) in game.
3

Switch to remote mode

Press Ctrl with the console open. Remote mode sends the command to the server instead of running it on your PC. Most admin commands only work in remote mode.

Server and world commands

The Stop button in the Game Panel already sends c_shutdown(), so your world is saved when you stop the server normally.

Player commands

To find a player’s Klei User ID, ask them to check the USER INFO page under Account in the game’s main menu. See Klei support.

Frequently asked questions

How do I roll back my DST server?

Type c_rollback(1) in the Game Panel console to go back one save, or a higher number to go back further. With Save automatically on, the server saves at the end of every in-game day, so one step is usually one day. Make a panel backup first if you’re unsure.

Why does my command do nothing in game?

You are probably in local mode. Press Ctrl with the console open to switch to remote mode, and check that you are in adminlist.txt.

Do I need quotes around names and text?

Yes. Text such as announcements and Klei User IDs goes in double quotes: c_announce("Hello"). Numbers don’t: c_rollback(2).

Can I use cheat commands like c_godmode on my server?

Yes, as an admin in remote mode. They affect your character in game, so use them from the in-game console rather than the panel console.
