Clothing Dye

[Zisrith]

My thought is that since there are a number of fruits and plants with natural pigments in the game already, perhaps a tool could be made that extracts them from these resources, to make dye for clothing, to make a character's appearance a bit more unique.
I've noticed that all of the clothing items either lack colour in their description or have very generic colours. If a player could take an article of clothing and dye it, perhaps in a tub-like tool, it would increase their ability to personalize their appearance and even increase the value in certain nearly-useless plants.

It would certainly give more use to certain things. But I think that the color of clothing could fade after a while so you would need to dye them again?

Don't make it too hard.

Idea is good, but I don't know if it will be easy to implement.
Maybe first part - making dye will be simple.

But how to give or change a colour to the cloth?

Perhaps you can color the cloth first with some tool or machine And after that turn it into clothing of the color the cloth was dyed in.

Just a guess here, but it might be easier to program and manage if you take the final product and dye it. Dyed materials could become a nightmare to work with (ie: if you didn't have enough "green" cloth, could you mix it with "blue" cloth....would the differently colored materials have to be in separate stacks, etc)

I really like the idea and was actually thinking about it yesterday. I thought it had been rejected before, though.
