Prefab

Prefabricated content (prefabs) are a collection of blueprints used for creating environmental structures in Hytale.

Overview

These can range from small terrain features, such as individual trees and building ruins, to huge structural landmarks, like volcanoes.

As of Update 5, there are 7826 prefabs in the game files. Certain prefabs, such as story prefabs, will always appear in the world, and will advance the game's story; other, regular prefabs may only appear occasionally.
