Refined Dust

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-06

Overview

refined_dust is a lightweight, elemental consumable item. It functions primarily as low-tier food (restoring minimal hunger) and can be used as bait or traded (e.g., to Rockity). The prefab combines several utility components (edible, tradable, stackable, inventoryitem, bait) and supports being launched and smashed via Hauntables. It is intended for crafting, trading, or minimal sustenance.

Usage example

local inst = Prefab("refined_dust")
inst:AddComponent("edible")
inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.ELEMENTAL
inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 1
inst:AddComponent("tradable")
inst.components.tradable.rocktribute = 1
inst:AddComponent("stackable")
inst.components.stackable.maxsize = TUNING.STACK_SIZE_SMALLITEM
