| STONE_NAME
 +
| * string
 +

| IS_GEM

|
*id
+
* name
| The name of the material template. Used when defining a template in material template files; the id is used as an argument when calling for material templates elsewhere.
+
* plural
 +
* state
 +
| Used to indicate that said material is a gemstone - when tiles are mined out, rough gems will be yielded instead of boulders. Plural can be "STP" to automatically append an "s" to the singular form, and OVERWRITE_SOLID will override the relevant STATE_NAME and STATE_ADJ values.

| Specifies what the material should be treated as when drinking water contaminated by it, for generating unhappy [[thought]]s. Valid values are BLOOD, SLIME, VOMIT, ICHOR, PUS, GOO, GRIME, and FILTH.
| The state may be SOLID, LIQUID, GAS, POWDER/SOLID_POWDER, PASTE/SOLID_PASTE, PRESSED/SOLID_PRESSED, ALL_SOLID, or ALL.
 
Color comes from descriptor_color_standard.txt and is used to indicate the color of the material. The nearest color value is used to display contaminants made of this material.

This article is about an older version of DF.

The following tokens can be used in material definitions (whether for inorganics or those within plants and creatures) as well as in material templates.

Material Properties[edit]

Token Arguments Description
PREFIX * string Applies a prefix to all items made from the material. For PLANT and CREATURE materials, this defaults to the plant/creature name. Not permitted in material template definitions.
STONE_NAME * string Overrides the name of mined out stones (used for native copper/silver/gold/platinum to make them be called "nuggets").
IS_GEM
  • name
  • plural
  • state
Used to indicate that said material is a gemstone - when tiles are mined out, rough gems will be yielded instead of boulders. Plural can be "STP" to automatically append an "s" to the singular form, and OVERWRITE_SOLID will override the relevant STATE_NAME and STATE_ADJ values.
TEMP_DIET_INFO
  • type
Specifies what the material should be treated as when drinking water contaminated by it, for generating unhappy thoughts. Valid values are BLOOD, SLIME, VOMIT, ICHOR, PUS, GOO, GRIME, and FILTH.
POWDER_DYE color token Defines the material as a type of dye.
TILE tile Specifies the tile that will be used to represent unmined tiles made of this material. Generally only used with stones. Defaults to 219 ('█').
ITEM_SYMBOL tile Specifies the tile that will be used to represent BOULDER objects made of this material. Generally only used with stones. Defaults to 7 ('•').
DISPLAY_COLOR
  • foreground color
  • background color
  • foreground brightness
The on-screen color of the material. Uses a standard 3-digit color token. Equivalent to [TILE_COLOR:a:b:c], [BUILD_COLOR:b:a:X] (X = 1 if 'a' equals 'b', 0 otherwise), and [BASIC_COLOR:a:c]
BUILD_COLOR
  • foreground color
  • background color
  • foreground brightness
The color of objects made of this material which use both the foreground and background color: doors, floodgates, hatch covers, bins, barrels, and cages. Defaults to 7:7:1 (white).
TILE_COLOR
  • foreground color
  • background color
  • foreground brightness
The color of unmined tiles containing this material (for stone and soil), as well as engravings in this material. Defaults to 7:7:1 (white).
BASIC_COLOR
  • color
  • brightness
The color of objects made of this material which use only the foreground color, including workshops, floors and boulders, and smoothed walls. Defaults to 7:1 (white).
STATE_COLOR The state may be SOLID, LIQUID, GAS, POWDER/SOLID_POWDER, PASTE/SOLID_PASTE, PRESSED/SOLID_PRESSED, ALL_SOLID, or ALL.

Color comes from descriptor_color_standard.txt and is used to indicate the color of the material. The nearest color value is used to display contaminants and body parts made of this material. [STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:GREY]

STATE_NAME
  • state
  • name
The name of the material as displayed in-game.

[STATE_NAME:ALL_SOLID:stone]

STATE_NAME_ADJ
  • state
  • name/adjective
Sets both STATE_NAME and STATE_ADJ at the same time.
STATE_ADJ
  • state
  • adjective
Like STATE_NAME, but used in different situations. Equipment made from the material uses the state adjective and not the state name.
ABSORPTION
  • value
The material's tendency to absorb liquids. Containers made of materials with nonzero absorption cannot hold liquids unless they have been glazed. Defaults to 0.
IMPACT_YIELD
  • value
Specifies how hard of an impact the material can withstand before it will deform. Used for blunt-force combat. Defaults to 10000.
IMPACT_FRACTURE
  • value
Specifies how hard of an impact the material can withstand before it will break. Used for blunt-force combat. Defaults to 10000.
IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD or IMPACT_ELASTICITY
  • value
Specifies how much the material will deform when subjected to an impact.[Verify] Used for blunt-force combat. Defaults to 0. Apparently affects in combat whether the corresponding tissue is bruised (value >= 50000), torn (value between 25000 and 49999), or fractured (value <= 24999)
COMPRESSIVE_YIELD
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be compressed before it will deform. Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 10000.
COMPRESSIVE_FRACTURE
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be compressed before it will break. Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 10000.
COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD or COMPRESSIVE_ELASTICITY
  • value
Specifies how much the material will deform when compressed.[Verify] Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 0.
TENSILE_YIELD
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be stretched before it will deform. Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 10000.
TENSILE_FRACTURE
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be stretched before it will break. Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 10000.
TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD or TENSILE_ELASTICITY
  • value
Specifies how much the material will deform when stretched.[Verify] Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 0.
TORSION_YIELD
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be twisted before it will deform. Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 10000.
TORSION_FRACTURE
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be twisted before it will break. Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 10000.
TORSION_STRAIN_AT_YIELD or TORSION_ELASTICITY
  • value
Specifies how much the material will deform when twisted.[Verify] Supposedly used only during wrestling. Defaults to 0.
SHEAR_YIELD
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be sheared before it will deform. Used for cutting calculations. Defaults to 10000.
SHEAR_FRACTURE
  • value
Specifies how hard the material can be sheared before it will break. Used for cutting calculations. Defaults to 10000.
SHEAR_STRAIN_AT_YIELD or SHEAR_ELASTICITY
