Disable dyed hair?

[Amroth]

Is there a mod/way to disable dyed hair? I'm playing a medieval only game and it takes me out seeing green or blue haired warriors.

you could execute them for suspected witchcraft (also i dont know how to help :c )

Do they actually have dyed hair or do they have genetic colored hair?

Click on the pawn and check their genes, I believe in the base game baseliners can come with the rainbow colored hair as being their true 'genetic hair'. Their chances are fairly reduced though, something to the order of only 1/20th normal chance of spawning but considering the hundreds of pawns you'll come across they're bound to be part of some group. They can come in pink, purple, blue, teal, green, orange, red, white, and pure black, the whole rainbow basically.

Personally when Is see those in a medieval playthrough I pretend that they are genetic vestiges of the civilization that came before that is now lost but I can understand if you want a pure medieval playthrough that you may perceive these as unwanted.

You could probably theoretically remove these hair colors from the gene lines. It would work best in a new start and may give errors if you apply it to an existing save.

You'd probably need to patch the Genedefs in the core module and remove these hair colors from the list.

For some reason baseline humans can have weird colored hair in their geneline. I think it is really stupid myself. I have not found a way to get rid of it without a mod.

Would it help you to know that some of the oldest writings still in existence contain recipes for hair dye? Or that the use of ochre paints in hair is shown in the archaeological record?

Its not genetic. Thats the problem. Also people did not color their hair blue and neon green up until about 20 years ago. And those people are almost always 100% gross and undesirable.

Pretty sure the Egyptians were using indigo or lapis to dye hair blue thousands of years ago. They considered blue hair to be a sacred, which was a concept shared with Buddhists. I think northern Europeans also used woad to make their hair blue, there's a lot of ancient Roman art of anglo-saxon women with blue hair.

Nope.

It definitely does make sense in sci-fi context. You can't tell me that there'd be all this advanced genetic alteration stuff to the point that human pig hybrids are just commonplace, and not a single person would have tried to add hatsune miku hair to their geneline.

As for medieval, I think it'd still make sense. I've seen a ton of fiction where characters have naturally colorful hair because of magic or even just style points, it's a fairly common trope.

But hey, if you can turn this sci-fi game about the awful things that come with humanity's peak into a medieval romp, removing colored hair is one of the simpler things to not want.

bad bait bro

[WildStargazer]

That is not dyed hair, some pawns just have weird hair colors, with Biotech you can see that weird hair color is in their genes, so definitely not dyed.

Evidence for red and yellow hair paint is 200,000 years old, 'fixing' grey hair with blue dye (not just blackening or browning it) is also prehistoric; bleaching is possibly represented in the earliest painted art depicting the Sumerian goddess Inanna, and fully recorded in Greek/Roman histories. This Renaissance book (https://books.google.com/books?id=nDYVAAAAQAAJ&pg=PT98&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false), Eighteen Books of the Secrets of Art & Nature, is a compendium of existing (that is, Medieval) practices and includes a method for greening hair with boiled-down capers that you can try yourself if you're curious.

People started being much more visibly colorful with their hair over the last two generations because synthetic dyes made it a lot cheaper, but the desire to make your hair stand out with dye is almost certainly even older than the desire to make your clothes stand out with dye.
