Livingtree root planted

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

Overview​

livingtree_root_planted is a growth-enabled prefab that functions as a planted seed. It uses the growable component to advance through two timed growth stages before triggering a one-time transformation into livingtree_halloween. It is also workable (diggable), lootdropper-enabled, burnable, and hauntable. The prefab is active only during the HALLOWED_NIGHTS event, as its eye visual is hidden otherwise.

Usage example​

local inst = SpawnPrefab("livingtree_sapling")
if inst then
    -- The prefab is fully constructed in its default fn, so no further setup is needed.
    -- It will automatically begin growing in stage 1 and progress through stages.
    -- Players can dig it using the DIG action before it completes growth.
end
