Don't Starve Together can be a brutal game, even for experienced veterans. When a player dies, they can wander around as ghosts that drain the sanity of all nearby living players. While this can be fun for the ghost, it is much less enjoyable for the living players. One option is to enable portal revives so that dead players can revive themselves; however, users can also disable the sanity drain from ghosts entirely.
