Switching to New Reign Beta on your Don't Starve Together Server
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
3. Go to Mod Manager.
4. On the Mod Manager, look for Swap to ANR Beta feature and then click the Install button.
You should receive a message that shows the successful installation.
5. Next is navigate to Configuration Files.
6. This ANR expansion uses a separate folder to DST but maintains the exact same file structure. As such, you will see the ANR Beta section on the Configuration Files. You will need to edit these files like what you did with your default Configuration Files.
7. This is the most important step. You will need to make sure the cluster token from normal DST is copied to the ANR Beta's file. To do that, click on the Config Editor button beside the cluster_token.txt.
(mods are unaffected as those files are located in the root file. Although if using modoverrides, this will also need to be copied across.)
8. Once confirmed, that the cluster token is copied. Save and Exit the file.
9. Start your server and play the New Reign Beta on your server.
