modding starting items

[iLiberate]

I've never done any modding before, and I want to make my GFs character start with 3 berry bushes, 3 saplings, and 3 grass tufts. It seems easy enough, but how do I know the names of these items in the code and how to I add multiple of the same item?

 

-- Custom starting items

local start_inv = {

"berrybush", "sapling",  "grasstuft",

"berrybush", "sapling",  "grasstuft",

"berrybush", "sapling",  "grasstuft"

}

 

May work, but it certainly isn't efficient.

 

Also, if I edit her modded character now, will it impact other save files in any way?

As far as I know, it's the only way to do it, you could put it in order, though, like

"berrybush", "berry bush", "berry bush",

"sapling", "sapling", "sapling",

etc...

Probably not.

@iLiberate, you could run a loop like the following:

local starting_items ={ berries = 3, cutgrass = 3, twigs = 3 }local start_inv = { }for k, v in pairs(starting_items) do   for i = 0, v do      table.insert(start_inv, k)   endend 

You would then use start_inv in your file return call.

Thank you! But I don't want berries, cutgrass and twigs. I want the plantable berrybush, grass, and saplings and they aren't working.

@iLiberate, then you are using the right prefabs....the prefabs you should be using are as followed:

 

dug_berrybush

dug_berrybush2

dug_grass

dug_sapling

Awesome! Thank you

@Kzisor

local start_inv = 

{

-- Custom starting items

"poop", 

"dug_berrybush", 

"dug_berrybush2", 

"dug_grass", 

"dug_sapling", 

"tallbirdegg", 

"wall_moonrock_item", 

"backpack",

}

 

Still not working, no crash but no items either.
