1. First of all, login to your game panel and navigate to your Don't Starve Together server. Make sure that the server isn't running by pressing the "Stop" button.

DST - Stop Server

2. Next, go to the File Manager section in the game panel.

DST - File Manager

3. Next, navigate to ServerFiles > DoNotStarveTogether > Server > Master.

Right click on the saves folder and press Delete.

DST - Delete Saves Folder

NOTE: If this is a Caves server, you'll instead want to navigate to ServerFiles > DoNotStarveTogether > Server > Caves,

and delete the saves folder there. If you have both an overworld/forest (master) server as well as a caves (slave)

server that are synced to each other, you'll need to delete the saves folder on both of these servers.

4. If you have added any custom world generation settings to worldgenoverride.lua that you don't wish keep in your new world, you'll want to open this file by pressing the Edit button after right-clicking it. Skip to step 6 if you wish to keep these configurations. DST - Edit worldgenoverride.lua

5. Copy and paste the following template into the file:

Now you can edit these parameters. You will see examples for what options you can use, then click Save & Exit when you are done.

Note: Make sure to not remove the format of the file, (Brackets, commands etc)this will cause the file to corrupt.

6. Head back to your Game Panel (click this link for easy access) and Start your server.

DST - Start Server

7. A new world should be generated in your Don't Starve Together server. Connect to your game server and have fun playing!

If you check the web console for the server you will see it load the worldgenoverride.lua file and state that it's generating a new world.

Here is an example of this happening

(note the top line and stated worldgen line)
