Content dump reference

The dev command content dump (dev console or bridge, in gameplay) writes what the game holds to BepInEx\cache\NivalisModKit\content\. Run it on your own game: the files match the build you have, including other mods' content, and they change when the game is patched. This page explains the fields; it doesn't list the data.

File	One entry per
`items.json`	Item: ingredients, dishes, drinks, furniture, decorations, tools
`recipes.json`	Recipe, with its ingredient slots
`vendors.json`	Vendor, with what it stocks

A field the kit couldn't read is null.

items.json

Field	Meaning
`asset`	The item's asset name. Use it as a content `template`.
`name`	The name players see (also accepted as a template). `null`: the game shows none (decorations, story items).
`guid`	The GUID saves store.
`custom`	Added by a mod through the kit.
`basePrice`	Base price; vendors' prices vary around it day to day.
`stock`	Units a vendor stocks, `min-max`. `0-0`: not sold.
`buy`, `sell`	The game's flags for buying it from and selling it to vendors.
`ingredient`	Usable in recipes.
`furniture`	Placeable furniture or appliance.
`plant`, `fish`	Grows in a planter; is a catch.
`decayDays`	Days until it spoils. `0`: doesn't spoil.
`fridge`	Needs refrigeration.
`tags`	The item's tags. Vendors stock by tag, and recipe slots accept substitutes by tag, so a copy is sold and cooked wherever its template is.
`model`	The model prefab's name (as AssetStudio shows it; also accepted as a template). `null`: no model.
`size`	The model's visible size in metres: `x` width, `y` height, `z` depth. Compare it with your own model's size (Blender's Dimensions) before building a bundle.
`icon`	The inventory icon's sprite name.

recipes.json

Field	Meaning
`asset`	The recipe's asset name (accepted as a recipe `template`, as is the dish name).
`guid`	The GUID saves store.

`known`	Known in the save the dump was taken in.
`disabled`, `playerOnly`	The game's flags of those names.
`prerequisites`	Recipes that must be unlocked first.
`inputs`	The ingredient slots (below).

Each entry in inputs:

Field	Meaning
`item`	The slot's default ingredient. A content recipe's `replace` names this item to swap it.
`amount`	How many.
`slot`	The slot: Main, Topping, Seasoning, Sides, Sauce.
`processing`	How it's prepared: None, Raw, Cooker, Blender, Grill, Pan, Oven, DeepFryer, or several (`Oven, Blender`).

vendors.json

Field	Meaning
`name`	The vendor.
`district`	Where it is.
`type`	What kind: Greengrocer, Butcher, Fishmonger, Drinks vendor, Hardware vendor, Venue furniture vendor...
`tier`	The game's vendor tier (`None`, or a letter).
`offers`	What it stocks (below).
`excluded`	Items it never stocks, even when an offered tag matches.

Each entry in offers:

Field	Meaning
`by`	`Tag`: every item with `tag`. `Item`: just `item`.
`tag`, `item`	What is offered.
`priceBonus`	Added to the price at this vendor.
`stockMultiplier`	Scales the item's `stock` range at this vendor.

To see who will sell your copy, look up the template's tags in items.json, then the vendors whose offers have those tags.
