Terrain Mazes

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

Overview​

This file registers three room templates for procedural cave world generation: LabyrinthGuarden, BGLabyrinth, and BGMaze. Each call to AddRoom defines a room type used during map generation in the Caves layer, specifying visual appearance (colour, value), structural tags (tags), and generation rules for room contents via static layouts or prefabs. These rooms are integrated into the larger worldgen system to create maze-like cave structures (e.g., for the "Beetles" biome or related mazes). The component itself is a declarative configuration script—not an ECS component—and is executed during world generation initialization.

Usage example​

This script does not define a reusable component or entity component class. Instead, it registers room definitions for the world generator. Typical usage occurs automatically during map generation when a taskset includes maze-related rooms. No manual instantiation is required.

-- The following definitions are registered at load time by this script:
-- LabyrinthGuarden: A walled garden room (static layout "WalledGarden")
-- BGLabyrinth: A labyrinthine room with occasional Nightmare Lights and Dropper Webs
-- BGMaze: A muddy maze room with sparse fauna (e.g., Lichen, Cave Ferns, Slurpers)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None (file is purely configuration; uses AddRoom global function defined elsewhere).
Tags: The following tags are assigned to registered rooms:

  • LabyrinthEntrance (for LabyrinthGuarden)
  • Labyrinth (for BGLabyrinth)
  • Maze (for BGMaze)

Properties​

This file does not declare properties or a class. It consists solely of three AddRoom calls with embedded configuration tables.

Main functions​

This file does not define any custom functions. It uses the global AddRoom(roomname, roomdef) function, which is implemented externally in the worldgen system.

Events & listeners​

This file does not define or reference any events or listeners.
