Legacy ID Availability
Ideally, new content should use GUIDs when possible.
Certain asset types—such as items—still rely heavily on legacy IDs. That said, they can be referenced by GUID in many cases. For example, NPC clothing and item spawn tables can reference items by GUID.
To find available legacy IDs:
Press
F1
in the main menu Workshop sub-menu.Click Export Asset IDs.
Open
Extras/AssetIDs/All Assets/Grouped by Legacy Category
.Each legacy asset category (e.g., Items) has a corresponding
Legacy ID Availability.csv
file listing IDs and whether they are reserved for vanilla content.
