==Default entry==

The <samp>Data/Locations</samp> asset has a location with the key <samp>Default</samp>. The <samp>ArtifactSpots</samp>, <samp>Fish</samp>, and <samp>Forage</samp> fields for this entry are added to every other location's equivalent fields, so this lets you add artifact spots / fish / forage in all locations.

==FAQs==

+

===How do I get to a custom location in-game?===

+

Adding a location to <samp>Data/Locations</samp> only adds the location to the game. Don't forget to give players some way to reach it, usually by adding warps from another map using <samp>EditMap</samp> in a [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher content pack]].

+

For a quick test, you can run the <code>debug warp {{t|location name}}</code> [[Modding:Console commands|console command]] to warp directly into it.

+

===Can I make the location conditional?===

+

There's many ways you can decide when players have access. For example, you can use <samp>EditMap</samp> in a [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher content pack]] to add warps conditionally or to add some form of roadblock that must be cleared (e.g. a landslide).

+

'''Note:''' don't make the existence of the location itself conditional, just make it unreachable. Removing the location will permanently delete everything inside it.

+

===Can I rename a location?===

+

If you rename a location, any data for that location in players' existing saves will be permanently lost. Renaming locations is not recommended.
