This guide will tell you about each material customization setting and help you understand what they do.

If a description has (unsure), I am unsure of how accurate that description is.

If a description has (unknown), I do not know how the setting effects the material.

I hope this guide is able to help you with material customization.

As of 2022, this guide is rather depreciated. I might be able to renovate it once I can fix my PC with an NVIDIA GPU, but this isn't a promise. If anyone wants to take over, just message me and I'll happily let you edit it.

change_material - Allows the selected material to draw over other materials.

draw_platform - The selected material (if given a positive, relatively high max_stuck value) will be drawn stuck in place until environmental conditions force it out.

mass - Determines the mass of the selected material.

cpow - Effects how materials behave when compacted together by pushing against each other.

cdist - Determines how close particles will come to each other before being repelled.

csize - (unknown) Doesn't seem to have an effect in the SST mode.

damp - Provides inertial dampening on particles.

attr - (unsure) Affects how particles attract towards each other.

xeno - (unsure) Pushes apart atoms with different properties.

lpow - Determines the power of an atom's bond or link with other atoms.

ldamp - (unsure) Affects the material soft by making it less bouncy and somewhat liquidy.

add_linked - Determines whether particles are allowed to link to each other and form one piece.

lrobust - Affects how far an atom's link to other atoms can stretch before tearing apart.

gravity - Affects how much gravitational force the material experiences.

max_stuck - Determines whether and to what degree a material will be frozen in place if experiencing little to no movement.

Mass - Making atoms more massive in order to make it more of a challenge for a high velocity soft projectile to scatter.

cpow - Particles getting pushed away from being squished into eachother

cdist - Making it harder to compress atoms.

csize - (unknown)

damp - can be used to prevent atoms from flying off into the distance, but can make materials unstable

attr - making atoms clump together

xeno - (unknown)

lpow - making soft harder to tear apart

ldamp - making soft softer

add_linked - making atoms stick together without attraction

lrobust - making soft more rubbery

gravity - making atoms fly much faster towards soft; lessening the wait to destruction

max_stuck - making things stay put if they're already still
