+'''Matgloss tokens''' are used in material definitions in the raws.
-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].
+Matgloss types:
+* MATGLOSS_STONE - [[Stone token]]
+* MATGLOSS_METAL - [[Metal token]]
+* MATGLOSS_PLANT - [[Plant token]]
+* MATGLOSS_WOOD - [[Wood token]]

-! Token !! Description
-|-
-| NAME
-| The name of the material
-|-
-| ADJ
-| The adjective applied to objects made of the item
-|-
-| COLOR
-| 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
-| The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity specific heat] of the material, in units of J/kg·K. Only on metal and stone?

-| MELTING_POINT
-| See [[temperature scale]].

-== Metal-specific tokens ==
-* TILE is the tile (character or 437 ordinal) for the material while still in the ground (trees, plants, rough walls)
-* Usage - different metals can be used for different things
-** WEAPON (fun fact: the WEAPON token only appears in the list of items)
-** WEAPON_RANGED
-** DIGGER - e.g. for picks
-** AMMO
-** ANVIL
-** ANY_USE
-* BRITTLE - Unknown gameplay effect
-* DAMAGE_PERC, BLOCK_PERC - weapons and armor respectively. Relative to Iron.
-* WAFERS - Instead of bars. Items take three times as many wafers as bars to make.
-== 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]].
-* 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
