Tokens used to define descriptor patterns, that may be used instead of descriptor colors. As an example, the descriptor pattern STRIPES_ORANGE_BLACK is what gives tigers their stripes.

Tokens

Token Arguments Usage Description
PATTERN SPOTS, STRIPES, MOTTLED, IRIS_EYE or PUPIL_EYE Required The type of pattern, deciding the description.
  • SPOTS: Causes a crash if no CP_COLOR is givenBug:11806, otherwise takes any amount.
  • STRIPES: Takes any amount of CP_COLOR tokens.
  • MOTTLED: Takes any amount of CP_COLOR tokens.
  • IRIS_EYE: Only shows the third CP_COLOR given; technically takes any amount. Causes a crash if no CP_COLOR is givenBug:11806. If only one or two CP_COLORs is given, the tissue is described as being "transparent".
  • PUPIL_EYE: Only shows the second CP_COLOR given; technically takes any amount. Causes a crash if no CP_COLOR is givenBug:11806. If only one CP_COLORs is given, the tissue is described as being "transparent".

An undefined pattern type causes the description to simply not show up.

CP_COLOR color token Required (mostly) A color to be used in the pattern. See PATTERN for how many CP_COLOR tokens are needed, and how they are used. Modded color tokens may be used.
