Newgameplus

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-08

Overview​

newgameplus is a scenario-level initialization module that modifies the game world upon creation when New Game+ mode is active. Its sole responsibility is to iteratively inspect all spider den entities in the world and probabilistically upgrade their growth stage (using the growable component) to make them more dangerous. This increases gameplay difficulty by ensuring many spider dens spawn with higher-stage spawns (stage 3) instead of the default.

Usage example​

-- This module is invoked internally by the game at world creation when New Game+ is enabled.
-- Modders do not typically call this directly.
local newgameplus = require("scenarios/newgameplus")
newgameplus.OnCreate(my_world_entity, my_scenario_runner)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: growable — accessed via v.components.growable:SetStage(...). Tags: Checks spiderden on entities; uses growable component conditionally.

Properties​

No public properties.

Main functions​

OnCreate(inst, scenariorunner)​

  • Description: Called during world generation to apply New Game+ rules. Iterates over all entities in Ents, locates those with the spiderden tag and a growable component, then sets their growth stage to 3 with 25% probability or 2 otherwise.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (Entity) — The world entity being created.
    • scenariorunner (Entity) — The scenario runner entity managing game progression.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: No explicit error handling; silently skips entities missing the growable component or tag.

Events & listeners​
