Token	Arguments	Description
TISSUE_NAME	name value	name = name. value = plural name, NP (No Plural) or STP (Standard Plural, adds an 's' on the end).
TISSUE_MATERIAL	material token	Defines the tissue material.
RELATIVE_THICKNESS	value	The thickness of the tissue. A higher thickness is harder to penetrate.
HEALING_RATE	value	Lower is faster. Omitting the token will result in a tissue that never heals.
VASCULAR	value	Related to how much said tissue bleeds. Higher = More bleeding (Which is why the heart has the highest value.)
PAIN_RECEPTORS	value	Related to how much pain your character will suffer when said tissue is damaged. Higher = More pain when damaged (Which is why the bone tissue has a much higher value than other tissues. A broken bone hurts a lot more than a cut.)
THICKENS_ON_STRENGTH	N/A	The thickness of the tissue increases when character strength increases.
THICKENS_ON_ENERGY_STORAGE	N/A	Thickness of said tissue increases when the character eats and doesn't exercise sufficiently.
ARTERIES	N/A	The tissue contains arteries.
SCARS	N/A	Simply whether or not the tissue will be scarred once healed.
STRUCTURAL	N/A	?
CONNECTIVE_TISSUE_ANCHOR	N/A	?
SETTABLE	N/A	The tissue can be set if broken.
SPLINTABLE	N/A	The tissue can be wrapped in a splint if broken.
FUNCTIONAL	N/A	The tissue performs some sort of special function (e.g. sight, hearing, breathing, etc.)
NERVOUS	N/A	Unknown - not used.
THOUGHT	N/A	Unknown - not used.
MUSCULAR	N/A	Seems to affect where sensory or motor nerves are located.
SMELL	N/A	Unknown - not used.
HEAR	N/A	Unknown - not used.
FLIGHT	N/A	Unknown - not used.
BREATHE	N/A	Unknown - not used.
SIGHT	N/A	Unknown - not used.
CONNECTS	N/A	?
MAJOR_ARTERIES	N/A	Unknown - may cause tissue to severely bleed when damaged.
INSULATION	value	Tissue supplies the creature with heat insulation. Higher values result in more insulation.
COSMETIC	N/A	?
STYLEABLE	N/A	The tissue can be styled as per a tissue style (defined in an entity entry)
TISSUE_SHAPE	value	Value can be LAYER, STRANDS, FEATHERS, SCALES, or CUSTOM.
SUBORDINATE_TO_TISSUE	value	Tissue is implicitly attached to another tissue. Used for hair and feathers.
TISSUE_MAT_STATE	SOLID, LIQUID, or GAS (possibly others, such as POWDER as well. Needs testing.)	Sets/forces a default material state for the selected tissue.
TISSUE_LEAKS	N/A	The selected tissue leaks out of the creature when the layers above it are pierced.

Tissue Layer Tokens

Token	Arguments	Description
SET_LAYER_TISSUE	tissue	Sets a tissue layer to be made of a different tissue.
TL_RELATIVE_THICKNESS	value	Seems to set new relative thickness for selected tissue layers.
TL_CONNECTS		Presumably gives the CONNECTS attribute to selected layers.
TL_MAJOR_ARTERIES		Gives Major Artery attribute to selected layers.
TL_HEALING_RATE	value	Presumably changes the HEALING_RATE of the selected tissue layers.
TL_VASCULAR		Seems to set new a VASCULAR value (which modulates bleeding) for selected tissue layers.
TL_PAIN_RECEPTORS		Seems to set new number of pain receptors for selected tissue layers.
