Fertilizable

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-03

Overview

Fertilizable is a lightweight component that enables an entity to respond to fertilizer application via a customizable callback function (onfertlizedfn). It does not manage state or logic itself but delegates the fertilizer handling to an externally assigned callback. This component is typically attached to entities such as crops or soil plots that need to react when fertilized by a player or item.

Usage example

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("fertilizable")

inst.components.fertilizable.onfertlizedfn = function(inst, fertilizer)
    print("Fertilized by", fertilizer(prefab))
    -- perform growth logic, add tags, etc.
end
