Pondsinkhole

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

Overview

pondsinkhole.lua is a static map layout file that specifies the tile-based and object-based geometry for a pond sinkhole room. It is not an ECS component but a structured data definition used by the world generation system to instantiate rooms. The file conforms to Tiled Map Editor's JSON format (adapted for DST's Lua runtime), containing tile layer data and object groups that indicate regions for lighting and pond boundaries.

Usage example

This file is loaded and consumed by the world generation system during room placement; modders do not typically instantiate it directly. For reference, a typical room loader script might process it as follows:

local layout = require("map/static_layouts/pondsinkhole")
local width = layout.width -- 32
local height = layout.height -- 32
local tiledata = layout.layers[1].data -- tile layer BG_TILES
