Carrot

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-04

Overview​

The carrot_planted prefab defines a stationary carrot crop that grows in the world. It provides a harvestable resource via the pickable component, integrates with world systems like fire, propagation, and regrowth, and supports seasonal mutation under the Halloween Moon. It is designed for server-authoritative simulation and synchronizes visual state to clients.

Usage example​

-- Typical usage within the game to spawn a carrot crop
inst = SpawnPrefab("carrot_planted")
inst.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: inspectable, pickable, halloweenmoonmutable, hauntable, burnable, regrowth, propagator
Tags: None explicitly added or checked.

Properties​

No public properties are declared or exposed beyond component-level configurations.

Main functions​

This prefab does not define its own functional methods; behavior is handled via attached components.

Component integrations​

inst.components.pickable​

  • Configured via:
    • picksound = "dontstarve/wilson/pickup_plants"
    • SetUp("carrot", 10) — product is "carrot", regen time is 10 seconds
    • remove_when_picked = true — entity is removed upon harvest
    • quickpick = true — allows rapid harvesting without delay

inst.components.halloweenmoonmutable​

  • Configured via SetPrefabMutated("carrat_planted") — when the Halloween Moon is active, this entity transforms into carrat_planted.

inst.components.hauntable​

  • Configured via SetHauntValue(TUNING.HAUNT_TINY) — defines the haunt difficulty or chance when players are near.

World system integrations​

  • MakeSmallBurnable(inst) — allows the carrot to catch fire and burn.
  • AddToRegrowthManager(inst) — enables automatic regrowth after harvesting.
  • MakeSmallPropagator(inst) — allows the carrot to spread fire or regrow nearby crops.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: onremove — triggered because pickable.remove_when_picked = true, causing the entity to be cleaned up when harvested.
  • Pushes: No custom events; relies on component-level event propagation (e.g., pickable emits onpicked).
