This article is about an older version of DF.

The default plants are stored in the plant_standard.txt file, while grasses are stored in plant_grasses.txt.

Basic Tokens[edit]

These tokens are specified for all plants and define their most basic characteristics.

Token Arguments Description
NAME
  • name
 The singular form of the plants name as seen in game.
NAME_PLURAL
  • name
 The plural form of the plants name as seen in game.
ADJ
  • adjective
 The word or phrase used to describe items made from this plant.
ALL_NAMES
  • name
 Sets the NAME, NAME_PLURAL, and ADJ to the specified string.
PREFSTRING
  • reason
 What dwarves can like this object for (e.g. "Urist likes plump helmets for their rounded tops.")
MATERIAL
  • material_name
 Starts defining a new local plant material with the given name and no properties.[Verify]
USE_MATERIAL
  • material_name
  • old_material
 Starts defining a new local plant material with the given name and using the properties of another local plant material.
USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE
  • material_name
  • template_name
 Starts defining a new local plant material with the given name and using the properties of the specified material template.
BASIC_MAT Sets the basic material of the plant. According to Toady, you can use other materials (for instance, iron) but the game may hiccup on plants that aren't structurally plants. For crops, said material should have [STRUCTURAL_PLANT_MAT] to permit proper stockpiling. Generally, this should be "LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:material_name", using a material defined using MATERIAL, USE_MATERIAL, or USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE.

Environment Tokens[edit]

These tokens, also applicable to all plants, specify where the plants grow.

Token Arguments Description
UNDERGROUND_DEPTH

GOOD Restricts the plant to growing in Good regions. Cannot be combined with [EVIL].
EVIL Restricts the plant to growing in Evil regions. Cannot be combined with [GOOD].

 What biome this plant appears in.

Tree Tokens[edit]

SAPLING_TILE
  • tile
 The tile used for saplings of this tree. Defaults to 231 (τ).
DEAD_SAPLING_TILE
  • tile
 The tile used for dead saplings of this tree. Defaults to 231 (τ).
TREE_COLOR
  • foreground
  • background
  • bright
 The color of the tree on the map. Defaults to 2:0:0 (dark green).
DEAD_TREE_COLOR

  • background
  • bright
 The color of the tree on the map when (un)dead. Defaults to 0:0:1 (dark gray).
SAPLING_COLOR
  • foreground
  • background
  • bright
 The color of saplings of this tree. Defaults to 2:0:0 (dark green).
DEAD_SAPLING_COLOR
  • foreground
  • background
  • bright
 The color of dead saplings of this tree. Defaults to 0:0:1 (dark gray).
SAPLING_DROWN_LEVEL
  • depth
 The water depth at which saplings of this tree will drown. Exact behavior is unknown. Defaults to 4.
TREE_DROWN_LEVEL
  • depth
 The water depth at which this tree will drown. Exact behavior is unknown. Defaults to 7.
SAPLING Makes young versions of the tree be called "[tree name] sapling"; otherwise, they are called "young [tree name]".

Crop Tokens[edit]

These tokens are used only for plantable crops and harvestable shrubs.

Token Arguments Description

SUMMER Allows the plant to grow during summer.
AUTUMN Allows the plant to grow during autumn.
WINTER Allows the plant to grow during winter.
GROWDUR
  • time
 How long the plant takes to grow. See Time. Defaults to 300. There are 1008 GROWDUR units in a season.
VALUE
  • value
 Value of harvested plant (default 1). Appears to have no effect in version 0.31.
PICKED_TILE
  • tile
 The tile used when harvested. May either be a number or letter within apostrophes(confirm?). See character table. Defaults to 231 (τ).
DEAD_PICKED_TILE
  • tile
 The tile used when a harvested plant has wilted. Defaults to 169 (⌐).
SHRUB_TILE
  • tile
 What tile is used for shrubs bearing this plant. Can be either a number or a character inside apostrophes. Defaults to 34 (").
DEAD_SHRUB_TILE
  • tile

Grass Tokens[edit]

These tokens are used only for grasses.

Token Arguments Description

  • tile
  • tile
  • tile
  • tile

ALT_PERIOD
  • period
  • offset
 How often the grass switches between its main tiles and alternate tiles. The "period" value determines how quickly (in frames) the grass animates, and the "offset" value specifies how much of that time is spent displaying the alternate tiles. If the "offset" value is greater than or equal to the "period" value, the grass will only display using the alternate tiles.[Verify] Defaults to 0:0.
ALT_GRASS_TILES
  • tile
  • tile
  • tile
  • tile
 When used with ALT_PERIOD, specifies the 4 alternate tiles used to represent grass of this type. Defaults to 46:44:96:39 (.,`'). Dead grass does not animate.
