- Not to be confused with unknown substance.
Unknown material is a placeholder material that is not legitimately obtainable in-game. It appears as a light gray solid with no name, which is only referred to as "unknown material" in building descriptions. It has an internal material ID of -1 or [NONE], the same as used in tasks that require items of any or unspecified material.
Objects without a material can appear as the result of bugs. Doors and hatch covers in dark pitsBug:6776 and dead civilizationsBug:3478 are some examples.
Trivia[edit]
- Since the material ID of -1 is used as a placeholder value for any material, items made of the unknown material cannot be specifically requested as an ingredient even in modded reactions.
- Boxes made of unknown material are referred to as a "boxes and bag". This specific string is used in the preference "Urist McDwarf likes boxes and bags".
