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].

Stone-specific tokens

Soils are considered to be a subtype of stone in the raws.

Layer types

A stone 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]
  • [AQUIFER]

Layer tags are not mutually exclusive with ENVIRONMENT tags.

ENVIROMENT and ENVIRONMENT_SPEC

Format:

  • [ENVIRONMENT:<class>:<inclusion type>:<frequency>]
  • [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.
