If you're playing Don't Starve Together for the first time, we recommend keeping the default world settings. They provide the intended gameplay experience and are the best way to learn how each season, creature, and mechanic works.
If you'd like a more forgiving world, you can customize your settings when creating a new game. For example, you can increase the amount of basic resources like Grass, Twigs, or Berry Bushes, reduce the number of hostile creatures, or disable certain seasonal events while you learn the basics.
Remember that there's no "wrong" way to play. World customization is there to help you tailor the experience to your preferred level of challenge.
