Don't Starve Together mods can include massive overhauls, adding new zones and areas that aren't in the base game. By installing modded shards, players can explore a huge variety of new zones, including volcanoes or islands. When combined with server mods, these shards create an entirely new experience for servers. Make sure to prepare by picking a strong character, and stock up on resources before venturing into these exciting new zones.
Note: Modded shards will increase the RAM usage of a server, potentially requiring an upgrade to run smoothly.
