Spider

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

Overview​

This file defines three static room templates used during world generation to create spider-dominant areas. It does not implement a reusable Component class; instead, it registers three unique room configurations (SpiderCity, SpiderVillage, and SpiderVillageSwamp) using the AddRoom() API. Each template specifies visual appearance (via colour), terrain type (value), and content rules for placing prefabs (e.g., spiderden, goldnugget, and biome-specific vegetation).

Usage example​

Room templates defined here are not instantiated manually. They are automatically applied by the world generator when room placement algorithms select them. Example of how a room generator might internally reference them:

-- Not directly usable, but used by worldgen tasksets like "forest.lua"
AddRoom("Forest", {
    contents = {
        rooms = {
            "SpiderCity",
            "SpiderVillage",
            -- other rooms...
        }
    }
})

Properties​

No properties are defined, as this file only invokes AddRoom() with static configuration tables.

Main functions​

AddRoom(name, roomdef)​

  • Description: Registers a new room template named name for use in procedural world generation. The roomdef table defines how the room is placed and what it contains.
  • Parameters:
    • name (string): Unique identifier for the room (e.g., "SpiderCity").
    • roomdef (table): Configuration table specifying colour, value, and contents.
  • Returns: None (calls internal registration logic).
  • Error states: None documented; uses validated AddRoom implementation.
