Payload Source

Payload Source is a debug/development block that spawns arbitrary payloads into the game world. It is used during testing and map creation to generate any block, item, unit, or other spawnable entity without normal requirements. The block exposes a wide-ranging configuration menu that lets the user choose from nearly every available spawnable type; as a result, Payload Source has the highest number of configurations of any block in the game.

Because Payload Source is intended for development and debugging, it appears alongside other debug-only tooling such as Payload Void in development builds and preview channels. The configuration UI revealed in development previews contains entries for unused and retextured objects (for example, a retextured Advanced Launch Pad pod), reflecting its role in exposing internal spawnable assets rather than representing balanced gameplay content.

• Use Payload Source when testing builds, units, or scenarios that require specific entities placed dynamically.
• Do not expect Payload Source to be present or usable in standard survival matches or release builds; it is provided in development/preview environments for map makers and developers.
• The block can produce any spawnable object available to the game build being used, so its options will vary across versions and may include assets not intended for public play.
