(Estimated Read Time: 19 minutes)

Are you tired of grinding for a specific item in Don't Starve Together? Perhaps you need to travel to another location in The Constant quickly. If time is of the essence, you can complete various goals using console commands in Don't Starve Together and skip pesky mechanics or even fix a bug yourself!

Don't Starve Together Console Commands

Don’t Starve Together console commands are active by default. Press the tilde key (~) to open the in-game command console. It’s also important to mention that some commands may not work in an online multiplayer setting unless you’re the server administrator.

Also, access the settings.ini file in your system's "DoNotStarveTogether" folder (without the quotes) if you can't access the command console. Here, look for the console_enabled field and change its setting to “true” (without the quotes) if it’s currently set to “false.”

Remember, exit the game before saving the settings.ini file, or the changes may not take effect. Additionally, don't change other fields unless you know their effects. Otherwise, the game might misbehave, which may require a clean reinstall to fix.
