Skilltree Wolfgang

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

Overview

This file constructs the complete skill tree data for the Wolfgang character in Don't Starve Together. It defines 42 skills grouped into four categories (might, training, planar damage, allegiance), each with position, tags, and activation/deactivation callbacks. The structure is returned as a table containing SKILLS and ORDERS. It references external components (mightiness, damagetyperesist, damagetypebonus) to apply gameplay effects when skills are activated.

Usage example

local skilltree = require "prefabs/skilltree_wolfgang"
local data = skilltree()
print("Total skills:", #data.SKILLS)
print("First skill:", data.SKILLS.wolfgang_critwork_1.title)
