Description

Method

- Right click on water in container, select create/misc/dye/colour
Tools Required
Items Required
Resulting Colors
- Blue - Woad
- White - Zinc lump or zinc scrap
- Green - Copper lump or copper scrap minimum 0.80 kg
- Black - Tannin and iron lump/scrap Difficulty 40 (Hardest dye to make)
- Red - Cave bug or Scorpion cochineal
Notes
- Resulting dye will have three color values, red, green and blue.
- R=255 G=255 B=255 is pure white.
- You can combine dye and the values will average out (although they will be about 2 points closer to grey across the board).
- The higher the quality is, the brighter and less grey the colour will be.
- Dye and water cannot be mixed to make a paler dye.
- The more difficult colours can not be made until after making some of the easier colours. Start with green, or maybe blue.
- To get rid of unwanted dye just right click and select "Pour" (don't worry, it won't leave a stain).
- When making dye with metal lumps, there is no need to heat them up first.
- The quality of the cochineal does not affect the success chance when creating red dye.
