Yotb Sewingmachine

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

Overview

The yotb_sewingmachine prefab is a structure-based crafting station used for sewing beefalo clothing and accessories. It integrates with the container component for item storage, the yotb_sewer component for managing sewing progress and callbacks, and the workable component to handle hammering interactions. It supports being burnt (transitioning to a burnt state) and stores its burnt status in save data. Animations and sounds are synchronized with its sewing and UI states via custom callbacks.

Usage example

-- Place a sewing machine in the world
local machine = SpawnPrefab("yotb_sewingmachine")
machine.Transform:SetPosition(world_x, world_y, world_z)

-- Interact with its container to insert items
if machine.components.container then
    machine.components.container:GetSlot(1):PushItem(some_item)
end

-- Start sewing via the yotb_sewer component (typically initiated by player action)
if machine.components.yotb_sewer then
    machine.components.yotb_sewer:StartSewing(recipe_index)
end
