Gelblob Storage

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-07

Overview​

gelblob_storage is a structural entity that stores a single stack of edible food items indefinitely by halting their perishable decay. It accepts food items tagged with one of edible_GENERIC, edible_MEAT, edible_VEGGIE, edible_SEEDS, edible_BERRY, edible_RAW, edible_GOODIES, or edible_MONSTER. While stored, items become unpickupable, gain the NOCLICK tag, and are visually attached to the storage via a follower. When removed, decay resumes and items regain pick-up capability. It also supports hammering for destruction (dropping contents as loot) and provides inspection status ("FULL" when holding an item). The component integrates closely with inventoryitemholder, lootdropper, workable, inspectable, perishable, and propagator.

Usage example​

local inst = SpawnPrefab("gelblob_storage")
-- The gelblob storage is automatically configured and ready to accept food items
-- Items can be added via player interactions (e.g., right-click with food)
-- The storage status can be inspected via GetStatus or used in UI

Dependencies & tags​

Properties​

No public properties are directly exposed or documented in the constructor.

Main functions​

GetStatus(inst)​

  • Description: Returns the storage status as a string for inspection UI. "FULL" if an item is held; otherwise nil.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — the storage entity instance.
  • Returns: "FULL" (string) if holding an item, otherwise nil.
  • Error states: None.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: onbuilt — triggers OnBuiltFn to play placement animation and sound.
  • Pushes: None directly. However, it uses callbacks from other components:
    • workable's SetOnWorkCallback triggers OnHit on hammer hit.
    • workable's SetOnFinishCallback triggers OnHammered on destruction.
    • inventoryitemholder's SetOnItemGivenFn triggers OnFoodGiven on item addition.
    • inventoryitemholder's SetOnItemTakenFn triggers OnFoodTaken on item removal.
