How to Enable Auto Update for Your Don't Starve Together Server

Learn how to toggle auto updates for your DST server through the RocketNode panel.

Enabling Auto Update for Your DST Server

Auto update ensures your DST server stays in sync with the latest game patches and changes from Klei.

How to Enable It via the RocketNode Panel

  1. Log in to the RocketNode Game Panel.

  2. Select your Don’t Starve Together server.

  3. Stop the server from the Overview tab.

  4. Go to the Configuration tab and open Startup.

  5. Find the AUTO UPDATE toggle.

  6. If the toggle is blue, auto update is enabled. Click to turn it on or off.

  7. Start your server again when you’re ready.

Notes

  • With auto update enabled, the server will install game patches automatically after release.
  • We recommend keeping this on for public servers to avoid client-server version mismatch errors.
