Dye: Difference between revisions

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an item in Vintage Story that can be used to change the color of cloth and leather.

: ''Note: This section does not apply to leather. Dyed leather does not need any mordant. This section is about fabric.''

A mordant solution is made instantly in a [[Special:MyLanguage/barrel|barrel]] by adding 1 [[Special:MyLanguage/cassiterite|Crushed cassiterite]] or 1 [[Special:MyLanguage/chromite|Crushed chromite]] or 1 [[Special:MyLanguage/alum|Crushed alum]] to 5 L of water.

You can get these crushed materials by using a [[Special:MyLanguage/pulverizer|pulverizer]]. You can put the water in the barrel with a [[Special:MyLanguage/wooden bucket|wooden bucket]].

5L [[File:Water.png|50px|link=Special:MyLanguage/Water|Water]] + [[File:Crushed-cassiterite.png|50px|link=Special:MyLanguage/pulverizer|Crushed cassiterite]]  = 5L [[File:Diluted-cassiterite.png|50px|Diluted cassiterite]]

5L [[File:Water.png|50px|link=Special:MyLanguage/Water|Water]] + [[File:Crushed-chromite.png|50px||link=Special:MyLanguage/pulverizerCrushed chromite]] = 5L [[File:Diluted-chromite.png|50px|Diluted chromite]]

5L [[File:Water.png|50px|link=Special:MyLanguage/Water|Water]] + [[File:Crushed-alum.png|50px||link=Special:MyLanguage/pulverizerCrushed alum]] = 5L [[File:Diluted-alum.png|50px|Diluted alum]]

Then, you place a plain [[Special:MyLanguage/cloth|cloth]] in the barrel to soak in the mordant and you seal the barrel for 8 hours. You need 2 L of mordant for 1 plain cloth. You end up with 1 '''Mordanted cloth'''.

2L [[File:Diluted-cassiterite.png|50px|Diluted cassiterite]] or 2L [[File:Diluted-chromite.png|50px|Diluted chromite]] or 2L [[File:Diluted-alum.png|50px|Diluted alum]] + [[File:Cloth-plain.png|50px|link=Special:MyLanguage/Cloth|Cloth]]  = [[File:Cloth-mordant.png|50px|Mordanted cloth]]

Dyes are created in a barrel. All dyes require a specific element that determines the color of the dye. The barrel needs to be sealed for '''8 hours''' for the dye to be ready (except for the brown dye which requires 24 hours).
