Chess Spot2

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-02-28

Overview

This file defines a static map layout in Tiled JSON format (Lua syntax) for use in Don't Starve Together's world generation. It specifies a 12x12 tile grid (width=12, height=12, tilewidth=16, tileheight=16) and includes:

• A background tile layer (BG_TILES) with sparse tile data.
• An object layer (FG_OBJECTS) that specifies placements for specific prefab instances (flower_evil and evil_thing), used to populate the game world with decorative or functional entities.

This layout is part of the map/static_layouts/ directory and is likely applied during world generation or level setup, where static layouts define fixed environmental content.

Usage example

Static layouts like this are not instantiated as components but loaded and processed by the world generation system. They are typically referenced or injected via worldgen tasksets. A conceptual example of how such a layout might be used internally (not direct usage) is:

-- Example: Internal worldgen usage (not user-modifiable)
local layout = require("map/static_layouts/chess_spot2")
worldgen:AddStaticLayout(layout, x, y, z)

Dependencies & tags

Components used: None — this is a data-only file defining static world content. Tags: None — this file does not interact with entity tags.
