Dreadstone

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

Overview

The dreadstone prefab represents a reusable crafting material that players can use to repair damaged tools and armor via the repairer component. It functions as an inventory item with stackable properties and supports inventory-level operations like trading and inspection. It integrates with the game's repair system by defining specific repair statistics (health and work value), and it can be launched/smashed by Hauntables (e.g.,Wilbur's hounds) like other rocks.

Usage example

-- In a prefab constructor, spawn a dreadstone
local inst = SpawnPrefabs("dreadstone")
inst.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

-- Optionally configure repair values (if dynamically creating)
if inst.components.repairer then
    inst.components.repairer.healthrepairvalue = 150
    inst.components.repairer.workrepairvalue = 50
end

-- In a repair action callback (e.g., from a crafting menu)
local repaired = inst.components.repairer:Repair(target, 1) -- repairs one unit of damage

Main functions

This prefab does not define any custom public methods beyond those inherited from its attached components. The primary functional behavior is exposed via the repairer and stackable components.

Inherited repairer functionality (inst.components.repairer:Repair(...))

• Description: Repairs a target entity (e.g., a tool or armor item) using this dreadstone as material. Called internally by repair UI actions or modder APIs (e.g., GFS_MakeRepairItemRecipe).
• Parameters: (target, count) — target is the entity to repair, count is the number of units used (usually 1).
• Returns: Boolean (true if repair succeeded and material was consumed).
• Error states: Returns nil if the target is not repairable, or if the repairer component is missing.

Inherited stackable functionality (inst.components.stackable)

• Description: Manages stacking behavior in inventory. Allows multiple dreadstones to be combined into a single stack up to maxsize.
• Parameters: Standard stackable methods (Add(), TryMerge(), etc.).
• Returns: Standard stackable return values (e.g., true on successful merge).

Events & listeners

None identified — the prefab does not define any event listeners or event pushes directly. It inherits component-level events (e.g., repairer fires repaircomplete), but those are handled internally by DST’s framework and not exposed at the prefab level.
