Wagpunk Workstation

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

Overview​

The wagpunk_workstation is a server-side prefab that implements a specialized crafting station with a fixed set of blueprints and dynamic activation logic. It relies on the craftingstation and prototyper components to expose recipes and handle user interaction (e.g., toggle on/off, activation). When toggled, it notifies the wagpunk_arena_manager component of its state changes. It also registers OnLoad logic to retroactively learn certain blueprints during map load, which is a one-time migration.

Usage example​

This prefab is instantiated automatically by the world system and not typically added manually. However, a modder may reference it to interact with its components:

local workstation = SpawnPrefab("wagpunk_workstation")
if workstation ~= nil and workstation:IsValid() then
    workstation.components.prototyper:SetTechTree(TUNING.PROTOTYPER_TREES.WAGPUNK_WORKSTATION)
    workstation.components.prototyper:Toggle()
end

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: inspectable, craftingstation, prototyper, soundemitter, animstate, transform, minimapentity, network
Tags: Adds prototyper

Properties​

No public properties are declared or initialized in the constructor. It depends entirely on properties of the attached components (e.g., inst.components.prototyper.on).

Main functions​

OnTurnOn(inst)​

  • Description: Enables the workstation’s active state: starts proximity loop animation, plays idle sound, and notifies the arena manager. Does nothing if prototyper_activatedtask is already set (prevents re-trigger during activation).
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — The workstation instance.
  • Returns: Nothing.

OnTurnOff(inst)​

  • Description: Disables the workstation’s active state: resets to idle animation, stops idle sound, and notifies the arena manager. Does nothing if prototyper_activatedtask is set.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — The workstation instance.
  • Returns: Nothing.

FinishUseAnim(inst)​

  • Description: Cleanup handler after the activation animation completes. Restores correct idle/loop animation and sound based on the current prototyper.on state.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — The workstation instance.
  • Returns: Nothing.

OnActivate(inst)​

  • Description: Handles user interaction with the workstation (e.g., crafting or toggle click). Plays use sound and animation, cancels any pending activation task, and schedules FinishUseAnim.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — The workstation instance.
  • Returns: Nothing.

OnLoad(inst, data)​

  • Description: Legacy migration hook used to ensure specific blueprints are learned if the prefab loads from older save data. Not required for normal operation.
  • Parameters:
    inst (Entity) — The workstation instance.
    data (table) — Optional saved state (unused here).
  • Returns: Nothing.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: None (no explicit inst:ListenForEvent calls).
  • Pushes: None (no explicit inst:PushEvent calls).
