Prefablist

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-10

Overview

PREFABFILES is a top-level Lua table listing all valid prefab names known to the game engine. It serves as a registry of prefabs for use during world generation, entity spawning, and modding workflows. This list is typically referenced by tools such as exportprefabs.lua and is not an ECS component—it is a plain global table without component instantiation or lifecycle behavior.

Usage example

-- Iterate over all known prefabs to validate or process them
for _, name in ipairs(PREFABFILES) do
    if TheWorld.prefabs[name] == nil then
        print("Missing prefab:", name)
    end
end

-- Check if a specific prefab is registered
if table.contains(PREFABFILES, "lavaarena_creature_spawn_fx") then
    print("Valid prefab name")
end
