SU by default we believe the itch.io app stores game files in `%APPDATA%/itch/apps`, at least on windows. Misc If you want to start a new topic, click here.

Books-aj.svg Conserving Resources Some things absolutely require wood (like beds and charcoal), but others can be made out of more common materials like stone. For this reason it's best, especially in the beginning, to make everything that you can out of stone. For example, you could make wood chests and barrels, but stone coffers and rock pots would let you save wood for things that require it and help you rid yourself of all that stone. And if you decide you want solid gold chests or something later when you have more resources, you can always throw out the rock coffers.

Token Arguments Description NAME name The singular form of the plant's name as seen in-game. NAME_PLURAL name The plural form of the plant's 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.

MATERIAL material_name Starts defining a new local plant material with the given name and no properties.

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 material 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.

Some document how to reference objects and list their default parameters e.g. Material_token and Item_token Article naming is inconsistent Some Token objects aren't covered or aren't tagged as such e.g. Caste. Documentation Our syntax is sometimes unclear to the uninitiated e.g. Creature token wth is caste TYPE how it differs from creature type of special? Our syntax is sometimes inconsistent. Some object names seems inconsistent as far as I understand their use here.
