How the game changes
- Research at crafting stations, creature interactions, boss defeats, meals and optional giant crops send checks. Rare blueprints, Hermit trades and exploration milestones add further rewards.
- Most research recipes become received items. Character-exclusive recipes, decorative items and content after Ancient Fuelweaver or Celestial Champion are not included in that shuffle.
- Choose surviving a number of days, defeating any selected boss, or defeating all selected bosses. Survival counts a living character's time, not the age of the world; the longest-lived group member determines completion.
- Crafting can retain material costs, offer the first craft free, allow repeated free crafting after the first, or become free-build once a recipe is unlocked.
- Cave and ocean depth, creature and cooking checks, starting recipes and plant seeds are configurable. Optional season unlocks let the multiworld control seasonal progression.
- Logic difficulty accounts for survival knowledge. Damage buffs can help solo players tackle raid bosses; regular traps, season traps and DeathLink are optional.
- The built-in tracker lists checks and example cooking recipes. Published presets include a year of survival, seasonal giants, Ancient Guardian and an advanced RPG-style setup.
Before you start
- Install APWorld 1.3.3 with Archipelago 0.6.4 or later, plus the Workshop mod, currently labelled 1.3.3.1. These are separate version numbers. The host runs the DST client on the same machine as the game server.
- Generate locally with one YAML per DST server, regardless of how many people share it. The resulting ZIP can be hosted on the Archipelago website; other players joining the DST world do not need Archipelago installed themselves.
- Select Local Save and enable the server mod. Match world seasons, starting season and day phases to the YAML manually; the generator does not change those settings for you.
- Warly-exclusive cooking checks require Warly or another supported way to use his Portable Crock Pot from the start. Do not enable these checks without that capability.
- August Workshop feedback reports Nightmare Werepig's check triggering on one of its shadow creatures, and a multi-boss route requiring Scrappy Werepig unexpectedly. Avoid those boss configurations for a conservative first run; the reports are not independently reproduced here.
- Once first connected, offline progress can sync later. Reconnect before regenerating the world or unsent progress is lost. Regenerating or resetting a character also resets the survival timer.
- A world cannot switch to a different Archipelago slot or seed. One slot may be shared across multiple worlds, but multiple slots cannot share one DST world.
- The current setup documents Windows, macOS and native Linux save paths. On Steam Deck, use the Linux game build. Custom or beta-branch save folders need the documented host.yaml override.
- Gem Core and Don't Starve Alone are known incompatible mods. DeathLink can be punishing; Relaxed or Endless worlds and reduced death penalties are documented alternatives.
