A vat bound in iron: fill it with water and recolour wool, glass, fabric, candles, cables and soft furniture.
In the game
How to get it
Planks, a stick and an iron sheet. Pour two buckets of water in it, put a dye and the thing to colour.
What it is for
Wool blocks in 16 colours, stained glass, dyed fabric and candles, coloured cable jackets, recoloured curtains, rugs, cushions, armchairs, sofas and beds; bone meal bleaches.
Why it exists
Change your mind about colours without remaking everything.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Recipe
Planks round the vat, a stick, an iron sheet at the bottom.
How it works
- Its bath holds 128 voxels of water (two buckets); each dyeing uses 4.
- One dye recolours, in 4 seconds: up to 64 voxels of wool block, glass (into stained glass), up to 4 wool tufts, 8 fabrics, 8 candles, 16 cable jackets, or 4 curtains, rugs, cushions, armchairs, sofas or beds.
- Bone meal bleaches: white wool, clear glass again.
- Nothing is spent on what already has the colour.
See Dyes for the colours.
