Cluster Configuration

Cluster.ini

The cluster.ini is the primary configuration file for cluster wide options. The server will look in <persistent_storage_root>/<conf_dir>/<cluster>/ for the existence of this file.

An example of the file

[GAMEPLAY]
game_mode = endless
max_players = 12
pvp = false
pause_when_empty = true

[NETWORK]
cluster_description = Silence Miranda
cluster_name = Mirandaville
cluster_intention = madness
cluster_password = password1234

[MISC]
console_enabled = true

[SHARD]
shard_enabled = true
master_port = 10889

Gameplay

game_mode

Options: endless, survival, wilderness

Default: survival

Sets the game mode of the game.

  • Endless
    • Has permanent respawns at the portal geared towards newer or larger groups.
  • Survival
    • The world resets when everyone online dies, good for small groups and experienced players.
  • Wilderness
    • Where each time you die you spawn somewhere random, I assume this is intended for pvp

max_players

Options: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...

Default: 6

Changes the maximum number of people that can be connected at any time. Does not ahve a limit.

pvp

Options: true, false

Default: false

Enable/Disable player-vs-player

pause_when_empty

Options: true, false

Defualt: true

Controls wether the game will pause when no players are connected.

Network

cluster_description

Options: Anything

The description of your server seen when someone selects your server in the server browser.

cluster_name

Options: Anything

The name of your server seen on the server browser.

cluster_intention

I believe this is a mostly deprecated option at this point, I generally set it to madness for fun.

cluster_password

Options: Anything

Default: None

This sets the password people need to input to enter your server.

Misc

console_enabled

Options: true, false

Default: true

DST runs with an interactive console that you can send commands to locally on the server itself. This option enables or disables that.

Enables sharding, aka multi world. If you want caves enabled you need this, and the cave shard enabled.
