One world, and a switch for the second
Caves is not a level you load into. It is a second world running underneath the forest the whole time. It starts switched off, and turning it on later leaves everything above ground exactly as it was.
Don't Starve Together
Survive a gothic wilderness with friends, then go underground and survive that too. It set its all-time player record a decade after launch.

The forest first, the caves when you want them
The forest is the whole game for most groups
You never have to turn caves on. A world that stays above ground is a complete one, and the switch is there the day you want the other half.
Growing, not fading
It broke its own player record in 2026, ten years after leaving early access. More people are playing it now than ever have.
Which pass you need
Don’t Starve Together runs on a Standard Plus Pass, forest and caves together. There is no half of the game we sell on a smaller one.
THE PASS THIS GAME NEEDS
Standard Plus Pass
£9.99per month
The forest with eight of you in it, and caves underneath whenever you switch it on. Both worlds run on the one pass, and neither is an extra.
IF YOU WANT MORE
Premium Pass
£16.99per month
Both worlds through a long run, with everything you have built in them still standing.
What you choose
What you get to decide, and what each one changes. We set up everything else.
CHOICE
WHAT IT DOES
Caves
A second world beneath the forest. Switching it on takes a restart, and switching it off keeps the save.
Game mode
Survival, Endless or Wilderness, fixed when the world is created.
Max players
Eight is comfortable. The game itself will go to 31 if you want a crowd.
PvP
Whether players can hurt each other. Off unless you turn it on, and changing it takes a restart.
How we set it up
The official dedicated server
Klei's own dedicated server, set up from the first boot as one world that can grow a second underneath it, rather than two servers that happen to share a name.
The Klei token is not your job
Every server needs one, and Klei issues them per account, so ours runs your world. You never have to fetch one, or even see it.
Caves is a restart away
Turn it on in your world’s settings and the next restart adds the caves world beside the forest. Turn it off and your caves save is kept, not deleted.
Parking keeps everything
Both worlds, every save, the backups, and your admin and ban lists. You get your server back, not a fresh one.
Updates land between sessions
Your server takes each new build while nobody is playing, so you get the newest one without an evening ever being cut short to install it.
The forest is ninety seconds away
