Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Server won't start / token error | Verify your cluster token is correctly pasted with no extra spaces. Generate a new token at accounts.klei.com if needed. |
| Server not visible in browser | Wait 2-3 minutes after startup. Check the console log for errors. Ensure cluster_name is set. |
| Mods not loading | Verify mod IDs in dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua. Ensure modoverrides.lua has enabled = true for each mod. See DST Mod Installation for detailed steps. |
| Caves not working | Check that shard_enabled = true in cluster.ini and that both Master/ and Caves/ directories have proper server.ini files. See the Caves Setup section in DST Server Setup. |
| Players disconnecting | Check server resource usage in GPanel. Too many mods or a large world size can cause performance issues. |
| World generation settings not applying | Delete existing save data and restart. worldgenoverride.lua only applies during new world creation. |
Checking Console Logs
The GPanel Console tab shows real-time server output. When troubleshooting, look for error messages that include keywords like ERROR, FAILED, or EXCEPTION. Copy these messages when opening a support ticket as they help identify the root cause quickly.
