Driftwood

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

Overview

driftwood_log is a world item prefab that functions as lightweight fuel, a non-nutritive edible material (for specific entities like Bob’s abigail), and a wooden repair material for boats. It also carries the waterproofer tag and has a waterproofer component initialized with zero effectiveness. Its behavior is mostly defined through component configuration rather than custom logic.

Usage example

local inst = SpawnPrefab("driftwood_log")
if inst and inst.components then
    -- Use as fuel
    print(inst.components.fuel.fuelvalue)  -- typically TUNING.MED_FUEL

    -- Use as repair material
    print(inst.components.repairer.healthrepairvalue)  -- TUNING.REPAIR_LOGS_HEALTH
    print(inst.components.repairer.repairmaterial)     -- "WOOD"

    -- Check waterproofer state
    print(inst.components.waterproofer.effectiveness)  -- 0
end

• fuel.fuelvalue
• waterproofer.effectiveness
• repairer.healthrepairvalue, repairer.repairmaterial, repairer.boatrepairsound
