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

Overview​

glommerfuel.lua defines thePrefab glommerfuel, an item that serves as fuel, fertilizer, and consumable food. It integrates with multiple subsystems: fuel (for lighting torches/lights), fertilizer (for farming), edible (for consumption), and fertilizerresearchable (for research tables). The item is also made deployable, hauntable, and buoyant for water traversal.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("fertilizer")
inst:AddComponent("fuel")
inst:AddComponent("edible")
-- Then configure properties as done in the glommerfuel prefab:
-- inst.components.fuel.fuelvalue = TUNING.LARGE_FUEL
-- inst.components.fertilizer.fertilizervalue = TUNING.GLOMMERFUEL_FERTILIZE
-- inst.components.fertilizer:SetNutrients(FERTILIZER_DEFS.glommerfuel.nutrients)
-- inst.components.edible.healthvalue = TUNING.HEALING_LARGE
