Dye/de

This page was last verified for Vintage Story version 1.16.5.

Dye/de is an item in Vintage Story that can be used to change the color of fabrics and other clothing items.

Creation

Dyes must be created in a barrel. All dyes require a diluted solution of alum, chromite or cassiterite as a fixing solution, plus an additional item that determines the color of the dye. One portion of dye can be made from either:

4 liters of water plus one dye item. There are some notable exceptions: gray dye is created by doubling the proportion of fixing solution to dye item, and therefore requires between 4 to 8 liters of water per dye item. Orange dye is made using 4L of yellow dye to 4 portions of onion.
