Tallbird Rocks

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

Overview​

This file is a static layout definition (in Tiled Map Editor format) that specifies the spatial configuration of environmental assets—including Tallbird Nests and various rock types—in a fixed area of the world. It is not an ECS component and does not define behavior logic; rather, it provides layout metadata used by the world generation system to instantiate prefabs at designated positions. Entities like tallbirdnest, rock1, rock2, and rock_flintless are placed as objects in the map, and their coordinates are used to spawn corresponding prefabs during world initialization.

Usage example​

This file is loaded and processed internally by the world generation system; modders typically do not interact with it directly. However, for reference, the system reads its object layer to spawn prefabs as follows:

-- Pseudocode: how the engine might use the layout
for _, obj in ipairs(layout.layers.FG_OBJECTS.objects) do
    if obj.type == "tallbirdnest" then
        inst = SpawnPrefab("tallbirdnest")
        inst.Transform:SetPosition(obj.x, obj.y, 0)
    elseif obj.type:find("^rock") then
        inst = SpawnPrefab(obj.type)
        inst.Transform:SetPosition(obj.x, obj.y, 0)
    end
end
