Don't Starve Together has a mechanic that lowers players maximum health when using specific items, or when starving. Users can modify the setting so that there is no penalty to max health through this mechanic, making the game much more forgiving. Other settings, including changing Day Length, can also ease the game's difficulty, which can be very hard for someone new by default.
