any chance there is a command to change the "game mode" to survival after creating the world? help!

I didn't realized I created a world in Wilderness for a basebuilding run. So wondering if there was a change to fix it otherwise i might have to restart the run.

If you go into your cluster file for that specific shard under gameplay you should be able to change game_mode = survival.

Documents -> Klei -> DoNotStarveTogether -> Cluster<number> -> Master -> save -> shardindex. Open that with a text editor and you should be seeing stuff like this at the top: 

....

  server={
    clan={ admin=false, id="", only=false },
    description="",
    encode_user_path=true,
    game_mode="survival",
    intention="cooperative",
    max_players=6,
    name="Solo(ish)",

......

Here is the game_mode parameter frankwizza is talking about

yeap I did that but when I relog the game is still in wilderness

Do you have cave enabled? If so, try changing the files of both shards

If I remember correctly, UI doesn't show changes if they are made via game files or something like that.

Try to change your game mode as SDavid said and test your resurrection ability. If it works as you wanted, then your game mode was changed successfully.

P.S.: Remember to backup your world before doing any tests

After a couple of tests I was able to make the change to endless but not survival...

dunno maybe there is something in there that allows much more easily to change to endless instead of survival coming from wilderness?

weird... but hey!! ty so much! at least I get to focus on base building
