Writing to log files?

[mike123456]

I'm working on a server side mod that records detailed info about the game state for later analysis. How can I write game state information to a log file somewhere on the server? I haven't found it in any of the tutorials or mod examples I've looked at but figured some devs here might know how

If you want to print stuff to "server_log.txt" then you can use

print("text")
or 
print(variable)

You can then access it in C:\Users\user\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\client_log.txt  (I put a shortcut to this on my desktop since I use it all the time for the error traceback)

If you're printing in a dedicated server or a world with caves, you might find something in C:\Users\user\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogetherDedicated\Cluster_1\Master\server_log.txt
