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.
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
  • minimum
  • maximum
Designates the highest and lowest cavern levels that the plant can appear in if its biome is subterranean. Dwarven civilizations will only export (via the embark screen or caravans) things that available at depth 1. Defaults to 0:0 (surface only).
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].

DRY Allows the plant to grow away from water features.
BIOME
  • biome
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
  • foreground

  • 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
SPRING Allows the plant to grow during spring.
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. Unit hundreds of ticks, See Time. There are 1008 GROWDUR units in a season. Defaults to 300.
VALUE
  • value
Has no effect as of version 0.34.11. Previously set the value of the harvested plant.
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
What tile is used for dead shrubs that once bore this plant. Can be either a number or a character inside apostrophes. Defaults to 34 (").
