Yotb Pattern Fragments

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

Overview​

The yotb_pattern_fragments.lua file defines three distinct prefabs representing collectible pattern fragments used in the game. Each fragment is a small inventory item with multiple gameplay properties: it functions as a fuel source, a cat toy, and a throwable item that can ignite and burn. The prefabs leverage standard DST components such as fuel, stackable, inspectable, and tradable to enable consistent behavior with other similar items.

Usage example​

This file is a factory for prefabs and is not typically instantiated directly by mods. Instead, it is referenced during prefab registration. Modders may reference these prefabs by name (e.g., yotb_pattern_fragment_1) to spawn or modify them:

-- Example: Spawn one of the fragments in the world
local inst = Prefab("yotb_pattern_fragment_1")
if inst then
    inst.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
    TheWorld.entities:Add(inst)
end

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: inventoryitem, stackable, inspectable, tradable, fuel
Tags: Adds cattoy and yotb_pattern_fragment
(Note: Other helper functions like MakeInventoryPhysics, MakeInventoryFloatable, MakeSmallBurnable, MakeSmallPropagator, and MakeHauntableLaunchAndIgnite are from core libraries not shown in the source.)

Properties​

No public properties are defined in the constructor itself — values are assigned externally via TUNING constants. The fuel component property fuelvalue and the stackable component property maxsize are configured in the constructor.

Main functions​

Not applicable. This file defines prefab generators, not component behavior. No functional methods are defined in a component class.

Events & listeners​

Not applicable. This file defines prefab prefabs, not components, and does not register or push events directly.
