How To Enable or Disable Caves on Your Don’t Starve Together Server

1. Log In to Your Panel


2. Navigate to the ‘Files’ Tab

The Cybrancee panel navigation menu with the Files tab selected.

3. Locate the Server Cluster Directory

Path: Home > Container > DoNotStarveTogether > Config > Server

The breadcrumb navigation path pointing directly to the server folder.

4. Select the ‘cluster.ini‘ File

The server folder contents with the cluster ini configuration file highlighted.

5. Disable Server Sharding

Scroll through the configuration file until you locate the [SHARD] section. Find the shard_enabled setting and change its value to false.

[SHARD]
shard_enabled = false

By setting this to false, you are telling the surface world to operate entirely on its own. It will refuse to link to any underground maps, effectively closing off the caves.

The cluster.ini file editor inside the server directory with shard_enabled set to false highlighted.

6. Save the Changes


7. Restart Your Server
