Forest Network

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

Overview​

forest_network is a world network prefab responsible for initializing and managing the Forest world’s shared world-level systems. It leverages the MakeWorldNetwork factory from world_network.lua to set up an invisible entity that hosts components required for the world’s core behaviors—such as weather, moonstorms, and event managers—without representing any physical object in the game. It is used by the world generation system to ensure consistent infrastructure across all Forest world instances.

Usage example​

This prefab is instantiated internally by the game’s world setup system and is not typically added directly by modders. A typical use case in worldgen or scenario code would involve referencing it as part of the world setup, but direct manipulation is unnecessary and unsupported.

Dependencies & tags​
