Pigguard Grass Easy

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-02

Overview​

This file defines a static map layout (pigguard_grass_easy.lua) used in the DST world generation system. It specifies the geometry and placement of background tiles and foreground objects for a pig guard habitat variant. The layout uses Tiled map format (version 1.1), with an orthogonal orientation, 16x16 grid size, and 64x64 tiles. It contains two layers: BG_TILES (tile layer for background visuals) and FG_OBJECTS (object group containing placement markers for perma_grass and pigtorch entities).

This file is not an ECS component but rather a data structure consumed by world generation systems to instantiate physical entities in-game. It is typically loaded and processed by map-level tools or worldgen task modules.

Usage example​

This file is not meant to be loaded directly as a component. Instead, it is consumed by the map loader during world generation. An example workflow would look like:

-- Internally handled by DST's world generation pipeline:
-- The static layout is parsed and used to spawn prefabs at specified positions.
-- Example (conceptual, not direct usage):
local layout = require("map/static_layouts/pigguard_grass_easy")
for _, obj in ipairs(layout.layers[2].objects) do
    if obj.type == "perma_grass" then
        -- Spawn perma_grass prefab at (obj.x, obj.y)
    elseif obj.type == "pigtorch" then
        -- Spawn pigtorch prefab at (obj.x, obj.y)
    end
end
