Chessy 4

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

Overview

chessy_4.lua defines a static map layout used in Don't Starve Together, structured in the Tiled Map Editor format. It declares map metadata (dimensions, tile size), a single background tile layer with tile IDs, and an object group containing named entity placements. This file is used by the world generation system to instantiate static environments at runtime — it does not contain logic or behavior code, but rather serves as a declarative description of map geometry and object positions. It is self-contained with no component dependencies or runtime logic.

Usage example

This file is not instantiated as a component; it is loaded by the engine as a map layout definition. Example usage within the game's world generation system would look like:

local layout = require "map.static_layouts.chessy_4"
-- The layout table is consumed by the level/room generator to place entities and tiles
-- No component attachment is required; the layout is referenced directly in level/room configs
