Eyebone Grave

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

Overview​

This file is a Tiled map export (eyebone_grave.lua) used for static world layout generation in Don't Starve Together. It defines an 8x8 tile grid where foreground objects — specifically gravestones and Eyebone-related prefabs — are placed via an object group. This layout is not a runtime entity component, but rather a data definition consumed during world generation to instantiate prefabs at specified coordinates. It plays a role in the world generation system by providing spatial references for pre-designed environmental assets (e.g., grave sites in Eyebone Ghost scenarios).

Usage example​

This file is not instantiated as an entity component. Instead, it is loaded by the world generation engine and processed to spawn prefabs. Example usage in worldgen logic:

-- Pseudocode: World generation engine would call something like this
local layout = require "map/static_layouts/eyebone_grave"
for _, obj in ipairs(layout.layers.FG_OBJECTS.objects) do
    if obj.type == "gravestone" and obj.properties["data.setepitaph"] then
        -- Spawn gravestone prefab at obj.x, obj.y
        local gravestone = Prefab("gravestone")
        gravestone.Transform:SetPosition(obj.x, obj.y, 0)
        gravestone:AddTag("epitaph")
        gravestone.components.epitaph:SetEpitaph(obj.properties["data.setepitaph"])
    elseif obj.type == "chester_eyebone" and obj.properties.scenario == "eyebone_ghost" then
        -- Spawn Eyebone Ghost-specific chest variant
        local chest = Prefab("chester_eyebone")
        chest.Transform:SetPosition(obj.x, obj.y, 0)
        chest:AddTag("eyebone_chest")
    end
end

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None directly — this is a pure data layout file.
Tags: None assigned by this file. Tags are applied at runtime when prefabs are spawned based on obj.type and properties.

Properties​

No Lua properties are defined in this file. All data is structured as Tiled JSON-compatible tables with fixed keys (e.g., version, width, layers, objects).

Main functions​

No functions are defined. This file exports a single static Lua table representing a Tiled map.

Events & listeners​

Not applicable — this is a static data file and does not participate in runtime event systems.
