Skeleton Winter Easy

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

Overview

./map/static_layouts/skeleton_winter_easy.lua is a Tiled map file that defines a small, prebuilt environmental layout used in world generation. It specifies a 12×12 grid background layer and an object layer containing references to prefabs — including "skeleton", "winterhat", "trunkvest_winter", "backpack", and "axe" — placed at specific coordinates. This layout serves as a spawnable room or scatterable feature (likely in caves or outdoor winter biomes) containing minimal loot and thematic decorative elements for seasonal immersion.

Usage example

This file is not a component and is not instantiated via AddComponent. It is consumed by the world generation engine via Tiled-compatible loading logic. Modders typically reference it indirectly through task/room definitions or scenario content. Example usage in a room or task definition might look like:

-- Example reference in a room/task definition (not part of this file's code)
AddSimpleRoom("skeleton_winter_easy", {
    width = 12,
    height = 12,
    -- additional placement logic...
})

Notes for Modders

• This layout is imported and interpreted by DST's worldgen and room-placement systems.
• Object placement coordinates (x, y) are in pixels, relative to the map origin (0,0), using tile-sized grid (tilewidth = 16, tileheight = 16).
• The "backpack" object includes a special property "scenario": "container_giveloot", suggesting it may trigger special loot generation behavior when placed.
• Modifiers like tileset, layer, and object names should match expected identifiers in the game’s static layout loader (Map.lua, Room.lua, or scenario-specific loaders).
