Item Distribution Flag

An item distribution flag, or "distflag" as it is called in one place in the documentation, is one of 6 (or more, if you add them via modding) words that follows the DIST code.

The default Item Distribution Flags in the unmodded main game are:

• dead
• cold
• warm
• hot
• toxic
• none

According to the Modmaker's Guide To The Galaxy, you could have up to 16 such Item Distribution Flags, the limit set by "GD_MAX_IDISTFLAGS 16". So, on top of the 6 in the main game, you could add 10 more if you were feeling really ambitious.

For more information, see the DIST page.
