Quagmire

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-02-27

Overview​

This script defines and registers the QUAGMIRE level preset for Don't Starve Together. It uses AddLevel, AddWorldGenLevel, and AddSettingsPreset to configure the Quagmire world type with specific gameplay overrides and metadata, including versioning, localization strings, and rule exclusions for certain world generation features (e.g., boons, touchstones, traps, POI, protected areas, disease delay, petrification, and wildfires). It does not define a traditional ECS component; instead, it serves as a world generation configuration manifest consumed by the level setup system.

Usage example​

This file is automatically loaded during game initialization to register the Quagmire level preset. It does not need manual instantiation. Modders may extend it by defining new overrides or presets for custom world types using the same AddLevel, AddWorldGenLevel, and AddSettingsPreset APIs.

Dependencies & tags​

Properties​

    • config: Table — contains id, name, desc, location, version, overrides, and background_node_range.
  • Returns: None — registers the preset internally.
  • Error states: None documented. Misconfigurations (e.g., invalid location) may cause fallback to defaults or silent failure.

AddWorldGenLevel(level_type, config)​

AddSettingsPreset(level_type, config)​

  • Description: Registers a settings preset that can be selected directly from the world creation UI. Contains minimal overrides focused on Quagmire-specific gameplay (e.g., disabling disease delay, petrification, and wildfires). Version 1.
  • Parameters:
    • level_type: Enum LEVELTYPE.QUAGMIRE.
    • config: Table — same structure, with overrides limited to disease_delay, petrification, and wildfires.
