Don't Starve Together servers are a fun way to accomplish large game playthroughs. With more players, many tasks become much easier as there are more helping hands to gather resources, explore, and fight monsters. Public servers boast the highest player counts and are widely accessible due to crossplay; however, some users may look to cause trouble on these servers. To remove troublemakers, server administrators can kick or ban a player using multiple methods, both in-game and server-side.
