LOSNR:

Does anyone know if HAS/USE_RACEGLOSS works for types other than wood? Only wagons and treants have it in unmodded raws, and those are both wood. (has anyone tried to make e.g. a METAL:USE_RACEGLOSS Colossus?) [[User:Random832|Random832]] 21:11, 19 November 2008 (EST)
*Yes, it works with metals at least. I created some metal wagons and they have been turning out fine. --[[User:i2amroy|i2amroy]] 19 January 2009

Frequencies (for ENVIRONMENT/ENVIRONMENT_SPEC) are straight percentages, right? [[User:InsanityPrelude|InsanityPrelude]] 00:46, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Metal cloth apparently requires the [WAFERS] token to function. Attempting to forge clothing without it causes the job to request metal bars. --[[User:LOSNR|LOSNR]] 00:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

you can make metal THREAD without a problem, even if the metal is not a wafer metal. And even if it is not, it will be spun into cloth just fine by a weaver. (non metal/plant threads will not) --[[User:FLAEDE|FLAEDE]] 06:31, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

The problem isn't making the thread, it's getting the game to recognize the thread for clothesmaking at the forge. --[[User:LOSNR|LOSNR]] 20:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

LOSNR: Added metal cloth information.

Preliminary information on tokens used in the material description files, stored at raw/objects/matgloss_*.txt in the default distribution.

These files begin with the filename as the other raws do, then [OBJECT:MATGLOSS]. Individual entries begin with [MATGLOSS_METAL:ID], [MATGLOSS_PLANT:ID], [MATGLOSS_STONE:ID], or [MATGLOSS_WOOD:ID].

__TOC__

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#ddd"
! Token !! Description
|-
| NAME
| The name of the material
|-

| The [[color]] of the material. Note that the background is not always used (i.e. bars, stones)
|-
| BASIC_COLOR
| The [[color]] of raw stones and gems.
|-
| VALUE
| The value multiplier of the material. Not wood?
|-
| SPEC_HEAT

== Metal-specific tokens ==

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#ddd"
! Token !! Description
|-
| TILE
| the tile (character or 437 ordinal) for the material while still in the ground (trees, plants, rough walls)
|-
| WEAPON
| Can be made into a melee weapon, excluding picks.
|-
| WEAPON_RANGED
| Can be made into a ranged weapon, like a crossbow.
|-
| DIGGER
| Can be made into a pick.
|-
| AMMO
| Can be made into bolts.
|-
| ANVIL
| Can be made into anvils.
|-
| ANY_USE
| Can be made into miscellaneous items like mechanisms.
|-
| BRITTLE
| Makes it impossible to create anything but bars of that type of metal.
|-
| DAMAGE_PERC, BLOCK_PERC
| Weapons and armors' effectiveness respectively. Relative to Iron.
|-
| WAFERS
| Wafers are produced instead of bars. Requires triple the amount normally to create items. Required for metal cloth?{{verify}}

== Wood-specific tokens ==
Some of these are also on plants.
* AUTUMNCOLOR - changes color with the seasons
* WET, DRY - Same as [[Plant tokens|for plants]]
* SAPLING - Young trees are called saplings instead of e.g. "young tower-cap"
* BIOME
* PREFSTRING
== Plant-specific tokens ==
See [[Plant tokens]].
== Stone-specific tokens ==
* STONE_NAME - Loose stones are called this, e.g. for "nuggets" vs native metal
* [METAL_ORE:<metal>:<percentage>] - automatically creates a smelter reaction requiring fuel and one stone to make one bar.
** Multiple METAL_ORE tokens mean that there is a percentage chance of each metal - c.f. [[tetrahedrite]] or [[galena]].
* [THREAD_METAL:<metal>:<percentage>] - allows strand extraction at craftsdwarf's workshop.
* ITEM_SYMBOL: Loose stones use this tile. Used to make [[bituminous coal]] show up as ☼ and ores as *.
* LAVA - lines the magma pipe; formed with water + magma
* SHARP - can be made into CAN_STONE weapons
* GLASS - [[rock crystal]].
* [GEM:singular:plural] - the stone drops gems, instead of loose stones. The plural can be STP, which seems to be short for "standard plural", i.e. just add an S after the singular.

===Layer types===
Note: Soils are considered to be a subtype of stone in the raws.

A stone material can be tagged with one of:
*[SEDIMENTARY]
*[IGNEOUS_INTRUSIVE]
*[IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE]
*[METAMORPHIC]
*[SOIL]
*[SOIL_OCEAN]

Additionally these can occur:
*[SEDIMENTARY_OCEAN_SHALLOW]
*[SEDIMENTARY_OCEAN_DEEP]
*[SOIL_SAND] - can be made into glass
*[AQUIFER] - aquifers can be in these layers

Layer tags are not mutually exclusive with ENVIRONMENT tags.

===ENVIROMENT and ENVIRONMENT_SPEC===

Format:
*[ENVIRONMENT:<class>:<inclusion type>:<frequency>]
** class may also be ALL_STONE, IGNEOUS_ALL, ALLUIVAL.
*[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:<id>:<inclusion type>:<frequency>]

The inclusion type can be CLUSTER, CLUSTER_SMALL, CLUSTER_ONE, or VEIN. CLUSTERs are large ovoids that occupy their entire local map tile if present. CLUSTER_SMALL inclusions are blobs of 3-9 tiles; CLUSTER_ONE inclusions are single tiles; and VEINs are large streaks.

If no CLUSTER is present, then zero to two VEINs as well as roughly five to seven other clusters will be present in the local map tile.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that each z-layer will tend to reuse the same type of inclusions, leading to multiple clusters of the same type of opal rather than several different types.

== Tokens not found in the raws ==
These do not appear in any shipped raw file. They were found [[string dump|in the EXE]]. We can only speculate as to their syntax and meaning. Athough, some are obvious. Others may be easily discovered by modding. It is unknown whether any of these do anything.

* LIQUID_DENSITY
* BUILD_COLOR
* TILE_COLOR
* DROWN_LEVEL - probably for plants
* Probably Wood-specific, based on their positioning in the token table
** DEAD_TILE
** SAPLING_TILE
** DEAD_COLOR
** SAPLING_COLOR
** SAPLING_DROWN_LEVEL
** TREE_DROWN_LEVEL
