Skeleton Graverobber

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

Overview

This file defines a static tile-based map layout (skeleton_graverobber.lua) used in the DST world generation system. It specifies a fixed 8×8 tile grid with orthogonal orientation, used to place decorative and narrative objects—such as a skeleton, backpack, shovel, amulet, gravestone, and trinkets—in a scene representing a grave robbing encounter. It is not a runtime entity component but a level design asset consumed by the map/room system.

Usage example

This file is not meant for direct instantiation or manipulation by modders. It is loaded as part of the map data when generating rooms or scenes (e.g., via static_layouts in a taskset or room definition). Example usage in world generation context:

-- Internally referenced like this (not modder-facing):
room.task = {
    type = "static_layout",
    layout = "skeleton_graverobber",
    offset = {x=0, y=0},
}
