Dye Station

Adds a single dye that can change to 4, 294, 967, 296 colors. It should work with all mods as it only recolors armors. The mod relies heavily on the ‘colorOptions’ data for the raw image, but that shouldn’t be a problem since all the armors have it.

The dye station can be crafted in a max level ‘Inventor’s Table’ (recipe in the pictures). You’ll need at least 1 empty bottle and 200 pixels to get the dye you want.

You can also dye blocks by placing it on the dye station’s slot and changing the hue (labeled as ‘H’) value. The block will be recolored automatically, and the button will function as a ‘dye remover’ for the block. This does not require pixels.

To pick a color, you’ll need some knowledge about RGB color models. I recommend using an image editor (photoshop, paint.net, etc.) to get the color you want. Make sure you put the ‘Empty Bottle’ in the slot of the ‘Dye Station’ and press the button with the rainbow water drop thingy. The dye should be in your inventory.

RGBA = Red, Green, Blue, Alpha (Transparency; 0 = Transparent; 255 = Opaque)
HSV = Hue, Saturation, Value/Brightness

Besides ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) NSFW reasons, you can make use of the transluency with Slime Race Mod! It makes you look gooey and I like slimes.

F.A.Q.

Item ID
Dye Station = dyestation
Dye = superdye

Does this work with mods?
Yes, assuming your armor works with normal dyes.

Does this work with mods that adds NO armor?
Yes.

With the addition of transparency, do the previous dyes still work?
Yes.

Why does the protectorate’s armor’s logo disappear when I dye it?
It’s because the logo is also part of the ‘colorOptions’ attribute (this is probably because of the yellow dye, since the logo’s color is yellow).

Do the vanilla dyes (Starbound’s default dyes) disappear when I install this mod?
No.

Do I keep the colors after I remove the mod?
Yes, because it changes the directives of the items directly (you can do this via admin commands).

Can other players see my custom colored armor?
Yes.

Can other players see the dye station?
No, as it crashes the game after they visit the same planet/ship with the dye station (Credits for Hieru for testing[shrani.si]).

Is this server-sided or client sided?
Client-sided. Both players must have the mod, otherwise the player without the mod will crash (you can still see custom colors though).

Does this work with old characters?
Yes, so long as your character is as old as when Starbound released the vanilla dyes.

Can I recolor vanilla and mod weapons?
No.

Does the dye station and the custom dyes disappear after I remove the mod?
I have no idea about the dye station if it was left placed on a surface, but if it’s inside your inventory, it will turn into a green block (Perfectly Generic Item). Same thing happens to your custom dyes.

Can other players without the mod wear a clothing that was dyed by this?
Yes.
