Description
This mod adds colorable versions of most wearable equipment in the game. They retain the same price and material costs, and can be found and purchased side-by-side with their non-colorable counterparts.

Most of the modified pieces use new colormaps for finer detail. For each item there are two new forms, one with a standard color map, plus an inverted one.

To combat the appearance of unwanted/unnecessary blueprints, some near-worthless blueprints are removed from vendors, these items are instead available once their workshop is researched (examples: Sandogasa, Rag Armor/loincloth variants, Straw Hat).

HOW TO COLOR CLOTHING:

For equipment to be colored it must be equipped to a character with attached color data. This data can be assigned to individual characters, or entire factions.

Some characters that can color clothing by default include Agnu (blue) and members of the Shek Kingdom (brown). Further information can be found linked below. There are several color schemes found in the game, and using mods can grant access to more colors.

Note that character color appears to have priority over faction color.

KNOWN ISSUES:

Clothing color is a partly implemented feature in Kenshi, and it can be difficult to get colors to stay "fixed" at times. Equipment can be recolored when new clothes using the same textures are put on. More testing is needed to determine causes and find solutions.

Shirt-slotted items only seem to work with a single color blend. Color 2 appears to be ignored for vest colormaps.

The only way I know to remove color from clothing is to sell it. If clothing from a shop is equipped to apply color without the item being purchased, then the color will reset once the shop window is closed.

So what exactly does this mod do? There's 3 varieties of every item now. Regular, alt. coloured and coloured.
But most alt. coloured items seem to be the exact same. Some of them are different, so I'm guessing the mod is in fact working, but most aren't

Does this mod add colorable sandals?

Hi and many thanks for this mod. I just made my own mod with custom NPCs with color maps (it's not in the workshop, there are already quite a few different mods that add ways to color gear) and was searching for more dyeable armor.
Do you still work on custom color maps for certain armor pieces? Some are just completely tinted in color while others seem to have only some parts which are dyed, which looks much better imho.
I also stumbled upon a problem: I made iron hats in the varieties "colored" and "alt. colored", but although they look different in the Inventory, they both look the same on the character. Is there an issue with the color maps?
Since they both wear colored rags of the same color, this may also be the reason, like you stated in "known issues"

Seems that Swamp Ninja Rags and Ninja Rags have been merged into 1 with this mod as well. Also noticed that Crab Trousers seems to be added to clothing bench by mistake.

PSA: The colorable version of "Samurai Clothpants" is named, "Dyed Clothpants" (the word "Samurai" is dropped). This is slightly different from the way other clothing is named in this mod, so I kept overlooking the blueprint.

Found problem with Hachigane. It will color the metal piece

Hey just wanted to let you to know I think Plated Longboots Color / Alt. Color blueprints are bugged. I checked FCS and they weren't listed under Buildings>Functionality>Armor Plate.
