Mod Release IDs
Mod Release IDs are identifiers used in Don't Starve Together to track major game updates and help mod developers handle version-specific features and compatibility. This document provides a reference for all mod release IDs used in the game.
Understanding Release IDs
Each major Don't Starve Together update is assigned a unique release ID, typically following the format R##_NAME where:
R##is a sequential number (e.g., R35)NAMErepresents the update theme or content focus (e.g., SANITYTROUBLES)
Release IDs can be used in your mods to check for specific game versions and conditionally enable or disable features based on compatibility.
Using Release IDs in Mods
You can check for the availability of specific release IDs in your mod code:
-- Check if a specific update is available
if ReleaseID and ReleaseID.R35_SANITYTROUBLES then
-- Enable features that depend on R35_SANITYTROUBLES update
end
This allows your mod to use new features when available while maintaining compatibility with older game versions.

Notes on Release ID Usage
- Release IDs provide a more semantic way to check for game features than raw version numbers
- The currently active release ID can be found via
ReleaseID.Current - When backward compatibility is important, check for the existence of specific release IDs rather than assuming they exist
- New release IDs are added with each major update to the game
