Wonkey

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

Overview

wonkey.lua defines the wonkey player character prefab for Don't Starve Together. It extends player_common.lua and customizes the entity with Wonkey-specific stats (health, hunger, sanity, movement speed), food affinity for cave bananas, and unique visual/talker assets. This file does not define a standalone component but rather serves as a character template that configures a player entity using existing components.

Usage example

Wonkey is instantiated automatically by the game as a playable character and does not require direct component usage. However, a modder could extend its behavior like this:

local wonkey = Prefab("wonkey")
wonkey.prefabname = "wonkey"
wonkey.asset = "anim/player_idles_wonkey.zip"
wonkey.sound = "sound/webber.fsb"
wonkey.tags = {"wonkey", "monkey"}
-- Access via inst.components.health, inst.components.foodaffinity, etc.

Dependencies & tags

Components used: foodaffinity, health, hunger, sanity, locomotor Tags: Adds wonkey, monkey (via common_postinit)

Properties

No public properties are defined or stored directly in this file. Configuration uses external constants (e.g., TUNING.*) and component API calls.
