Don't Starve Together servers are a fantastic way to experience large group playthroughs with friends or a select player base. On public servers, specific game mechanics, such as ghosts, can cause headaches for players, especially when multiple characters are in the same area. Users can make their servers private by adding a server password, requiring players to enter it to join. This creates a server that is much more secure from random players, ensuring that group playthroughs go unhindered.
Note: Setting a token password when generating a Server Token does not add a password to the server.
