Thank you for the clarification

Sigh.
>using multiple apparel outfits in the same patternt makes so ALL selected outfits should allow a piece of apparel
> using multiple layer rules in the same pattern makes so ALL layers should be a part of the same piece of apparel
don't be greedy and make rules for each layer ans outfit separately.

So i've got Dye Self: Enabled, Overriding: Never, Coloring Mode: Full, Coloring Patterns: Enabled, Prefer: Ideo Color. First pattern is set to Pattern Color:Custom (with the color set to navy blue) with pattern rules set as Pattern Color:Custom (color set to Lavender) A. Outfit:Soldier, A. Outfit: Vanguard, A. Outfit: Officer, Layer:Outer, Layer: Outer (head). Second pattern is set A. Outfit:Soldier, A.Outfit:Vanguard, A. Outfit: Officer, Layer:Skin, Layer:Webbing, Layer:Backpack,Layer:Strapped(head),Layer:Middle,Layer:Utility.

I don't know, can't see your setup.

I've got my setting set up so that my colonists are supposed to make their inner clothes (ex. pants shirts and flak vests) to be the ideo color, and their outer clothes (helmets and dusters) to be navy blue, but my colonists are bypassing the patterns and dying their outer clothes the ideo color. Is this a bug or did I set up the patterns wrong?

Create "slave" outfit, set slaves to that outfit, set outfit "slave" to "not dye".

is there any way to stop only slaves from dying their clothes? its really weird to see a slave walking around with a pink slave strap and collar, also "i'm being degraded but at least my slave bindings are my favorite color :3" mood buff really breaks my immersion lmao

@avil
Can we get compatibility with "[MUS]太空基地家具Space Base Furniture"?

It has a Styling Station that works the same way as the vanilla one.

I think it should be.

can this mod be removed or added to a current save without issues ?

Not a job. It's triggered under a special think node that supposed to make pawns change their style on their own from time to time (yeah, it's vanilla).
It would be easier for me to tell what's up if you provided a screenshot.

Great mod, best mod for utility. My colonies tend towards strict uniforms, so this helps a lot. Thank you so much for your work!
Which job type does dyeing fall under?
And also, when I have more than one outfit for a pattern rule, the people on the second outfit won't dye unless I give them their own pattern. Here is the example:
My core apparel policy (outfit: uniform) is dyed jumpsuit with dyed apron, the extra policy has a lab coat on top. But the pattern won't recognise the second policy (research), so I have to make an extra pattern to dye it properly. Is this intended behaviour?
Again thank you very much!

Some apparel have their paramater "Colorable" set to be not active. This option allows to ingonre that parameter. It's not "behind the scenes" kind of thing.

What does the override for inactive coloring do exactly? Do the items' graphics actually change in colour or is it only a "behind the scenes" type of thing?

I just want to say that for me the mod works and i found the options in the styling station like you said.

Yeah, I am sure. I fixed that.
Had to manually verify files. This mod was active in rimpy, somehow on unstable branch so 1.6 it was white so 1.6, but acted like 1.4 or 1.5 so in fact, wasn't active. Same for few other mods.

There is no mod settings in mod settings - cant set to default "dye self enabled" :(

It should be listed in mod options. So something strange is going on. Are you sure you added the mod to the mod list? (asking just in case)

I don't have any error in log, I have this mod active and rimpy sorted. There is no self dye gizmo in styling station. Also, not listed in mod options. Maybe it was never there, but there is no gizmo, and no error. Any idea how to fix it?

From styling station.

hello, how do i change settings for the mod ?

Thanks

Thanks for bearing with me and my silly antics

They should do it at least once a day.

Actually, nevermind. I think I discovered that it was just my rules that needed tweaking.

No. Point of the mod is so pawns do it at all. That's their default interval for changing their style in vanilla.

I've come to really enjoy this mod. But is there a way to increase the frequency of colonists dying their clothes?

I find that my colonists tend to pump out new equipment much faster than they dye their existing clothes. So a lot of the time they just wander around undyed. It would be amazing if as soon as they had their clothes dyed that they went straight to the styling station to recolor.

Ah, I understand it now! Okay thank you!

@Thor According to your rules your pawns can dye only "headgear" that also counts as "outer". Check the guidlines:
- patterns without rules do nothing (except for pattern "do not dye");
You don't need to set an outfit or a layer for "do not dye" pattern;
- using multiple layer rules in the same pattern makes so ALL layers should be a part of the same piece of apparel;
You can't make a blanket pattern that covers all appareal. You should make a separate pattern for each piece with its own set of layers.

thanks for upadating this

Please break it down for me. I attempted this but now it seems pawns simply do not color anything at all.

What I did:

Pattern Color: Custom
Layer: Outer Layer: Headgear

Pattern color: Do not dye
C. Outfit: Anything

Without "do not dye" pawns ignore the custom color and simply use their favorite or ideology color.
With "do not dye" they simply do not dye anything.

You can use a rule to use a color "do not dye". Make so anything uncovered by your rules defaults to that rule.

Maybe I am stupid and don't know how to use this mod, but I can't stop colonists from ignoring my rules and dying either their favorite or ideology colors, when I literally just want them to automatically color their clothes blue.

Is there a way to stop them from dying to either ideology or favorite color?

thanks for update! This should be in vanilla imo

Yeah, Steam really should have some sort of button to check workshop mods for updates. Having to verify all game files is too hidden away, and not clearly related to workshop mods.

Soooo, yeah - verify integrity of game files force updates mods.

Today I learned something I've seen referred to in the past but had no idea. :P

Well, thanks for the awesome mods - saw the same response in common sense one after my post and then... spent 10 minutes staring at things trying desperately to find the right button to force update.

You just need to force update it. It's normal for steam workshop to be slow or not work correctly when there're mass updating thousands of mods at the same time and a hundred of thousands of people are downloading.

Am I just confused since it says 1.6 in the workshop but 1.5 ingame?

Thanks for the awesome work, without you no tinctoria will ever be grown in my colonies. :D

I've been updating since 1.0, there's little that can upset me.

@avil Thank you so much! Ignore the assholes, some of us really appreciate your work!

>Because the game is going to hit 1.6 today, and you have had a month to do so.
Bro acts like he paid for this mod or something.

Based

based mod author

No I didn't, I was busy playing other games!

Because the game is going to hit 1.6 today, and you have had a month to do so.

What? Why?

Please update to 1.6

You can dye clothes at the styling station. Select a colonist, right click the styling station, and tell them to change their style.

It is sort of anoying that as far as I can tell this mod is the only way to dye clothes.

It would be really cool if there was an ability to set palettes. If I could just pick a limited number of colors and then have my pawn dye their clothes a random assortment of those colors I'd be the happiest rimworld player in existence.

updateeeeeeeee！！！ plsssss
