Console/Commands

Attention: This page is for console commands from the Base Game (along with its dlcs). If you are trying to use console commands for Don't Starve Together then please use this Page.

.

The Command Console is enabled by default. If for whatever reason it is not, you first need to do some tweaking in your settings.ini of your save. This can be found in the "donotstarve" folder, located in the following paths :

Windows: %userprofile%\Documents\Klei\DoNotstarve\settings.ini
Mac:     <Documents>\Klei\DoNotstarve\settings.ini

Linux:         ~/.klei/DoNotStarve/settings.ini

Locate the settings.ini and open it with Notepad and where it says [MISC]ENABLECONSOLE = false and rewrite it as [MISC]ENABLECONSOLE = true then save the document.

Then to open the console while in game by pressing "~" by default on English keyboards. This can be changed at any time in the controls menu. Also you can hide the console menu again by pressing Ctrl + L.

You will need to run this command once to enable console commands:

RunS​cript("consolecommands")

Note: Like many other command-line interfaced programs, the user can press the upper arrow key to get access to previously entered commands, with no need to re-type them manually again. However, the player will still have to re-enter every command after re-entering a world.
