Modding:Sprawls

Sprawls are effects that spread over the game world and can manipulate affected Tiles. Examples are fires that spread and turn the burnt tiles into scorched earth, floods that turn tiles into water or the aftermaths of looted shrines that create huge bottomless pits or even the world devouring nothingness.

Most of the game's standard sprawls are defined in sprawls.hjson.

Sprawls entry in Tiles

It is important to note that Tiles have the ability to tell what kind of Tile they will be turned into when affected by a Sprawl. This can be defined by a sprawls entry in the Tile definition.
