Dye Vat Mod > Ideology Dye System

[muffins]

I was a little disappointed in Ideology's dye system. You use the style bench to change the appearance of your pawns, including the colour of their clothes. It's actually great for customising the look of your pawns, but if you just want to make random coloured clothing for your colonists to randomly equip then it's much less good. You would have to equip clothing>dye clothing>unequip clothing repeatedly.

With the Dye mod for 1.2 you would just add bills to colour cloth in your dye vat - maintain X number of Y colour cloth etc - and your crafters would make clothes out of whatever coloured cloth was available. It was great for immersion and roleplay since your colonists decided what colour clothing to make or wear.

Then just buy different colored cloth from traders? If you don't care what color your colonists are wearing you have the different leathers to make different colors, and traders regularly sell dyed cloth that affects the color of whatever you craft with it.

That's not dying though, and traders only rarely bring coloured cloth.
