Command list
============
Set selected thing's lifepoints to argument.
T_SATIATION [-32768 to 32767]
-Set selected thing's satiation score. If above zero, and thing's lifepoints are
-below its thing type's initial lifepoints, there is a 1/32 chance each turn of
-waiting action that the thing's lifepoints will rise. For values affecting the
-thing's lifepoints negatively, see note on TT_LIFEPOINTS.
+Set selected thing's satiation score. Each turn, there is a chance of hitpoint
+loss that grows with the satiation score's absolute value, and one of hitpoint
+gain that lowers with it. Each turn, T_SATIATION lessens by the square root of
+the thing's type's start hitpoints (see TT_LIFEPOINTS).
T_CARRIES [0 to 255]
Add thing of ID in argument to inventory of selected thing, if said thing is
create it with default name "(none)", corpse ID equal to the new thing type's
ID, symbol "?", and remaining thing type attributes to 0.
-TT_CONSUMABLE [0-65535]
-Set selected thing type's consumability value to argument – the number of
-.satiation score points earned by consuming/using things of that type.
+TT_TOOL [|food]
+(May be left empty.) Defines the way things of the selected type can be used.
+The only options so far that is interpreted is "food" (may be consumed).
+
+TT_TOOLPOWER [0 to 65535]
+Set selected thing type's tool power value to argument. If its tool type is
+"food", this sets the number of .satiation score points earned by consuming
+things of that type.
TT_START_NUMBER [0-255]
Set selected thing type's number of things of type to spawn on successful
TT_LIFEPOINTS [0-255]
Set selected thing type's initial lifepoints value to argument. Things of 0
-lifepoints are considered inanimate, otherwise animate. This value also sets the
-degree to which the selected type's things suffer from under- or over-satiation:
-If 0, not at all. Else, it defines a stomach size value of 32767 divided by it.
-Each turn a thing of the given type may then suffer a lifepoint decrement to the
-chance of the rounded down quotient of its satiation score's absolute value by
-its stomach size value, then again divided by the latter. (This means that the
-change is always zero when the absolute value of the satiation score is lower
-than the stomach size value.)
+lifepoints are considered inanimate, otherwise animate. The square root of this
+is the amount things of the type suffer satiation score loss each turn.
TT_SYMBOL [char]
Set to argument symbol by which things of the selected type are represented on
Set to argument the ID of the thing type that things of the selected type
transform into when their state changes from animate to inanimate.
-TT_PROLIFERATE [0-255]
+TT_PROLIFERATE [0 to 65535]
If non-zero, there is a chance of 1 divided by the given value each turn for any
thing of the selected type to emit an offspring to a random neighbor cell if one
is available that is passable and not inhabited by a thing of the same same type
or, if the proliferating thing is animate, any other animate thing.
