Associate your DST server with a Steam Group

Keep your friends close, and your enemies the heck off your server!

With Steam groups you now have more tools available to you to build and maintain communities of trusted players to play with.

As an administrator or officer of a Steam group, you can now set your Don't Starve Together Server to only allow members of your Steam group; or just associate your server with a group so other members can easily find worlds that they would like to play on.

With associated community features such as events, chat, announcements, forums and member administration; Steam groups will allow group admins, server admins and group members to hang out and have fun.

We have set up a steam group subforum here and on steam on the official forums, please feel free to start up a Steam group, setup your community how you feel is best; Or, find groups that you think fit your playstyle and let us know about it!

Group Configuration

You need to be the administrator or an officer of the Steam group.

Connect to Steam and go to your group page, then click on the "Edit group profile" link


You'll find the Steam ID of your group :

Server Configuration

Edit settings.ini file and add the following lines in the [network] section :

[network]
steam_group_id = YourGroupID
steam_group_only = true

Setting steam_group_only to true will only allow members of the specified group to connect to your server. If you set it to false, your server will be open to everyone (unless you specify a password) but it will appear in the top of the server list for members of the group.

yes its cluster.ini and gibberson was right:

[STEAM]
steam_group_admins = true
steam_group_id = YourGroupID
steam_group_only = false

[Aphexamine]

there is no "settings.ini" file anywhere in the Dont Starve Together folder.
