Cutlichen

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-05

Overview​

cutlichen is a prefab representing a small, edible plant used as food in Don't Starve Together. It is an inventory item with stackable capacity, edible properties (restores health and hunger, reduces sanity), and perishable behavior (spoils into spoiled_food after a set duration). It is typically found in the world or crafted and serves as a basic sustenance resource.

The prefab uses core components for inventory management (inventoryitem, stackable), consumption (edible), spoilage (perishable), and basic physics/sound effects. It is also made hauntable via MakeHauntableLaunchAndPerish.

Usage example​

-- Typically instantiated automatically via the game's prefab system
-- To spawn one manually in a mod:
local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
inst:AddComponent("stackable")
inst.components.stackable.maxsize = TUNING.STACK_SIZE_SMALLITEM
inst:AddComponent("edible")
inst.components.edible.healthvalue = TUNING.HEALING_SMALL
inst.components.edible.hungervalue = TUNING.CALORIES_SMALL
inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = -TUNING.SANITY_TINY
inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.VEGGIE
inst:AddComponent("perishable")
inst.components.perishable:SetPerishTime(TUNING.PERISH_TWO_DAY)
inst.components.perishable:StartPerishing()
inst.components.perishable.onperishreplacement = "spoiled_food"
