Paint is used to provide color to various projects.

Sources

Created in a Pigment Laboratory using various quantities of ingredients. The 11 ingredients are:

• Cabbage Juice - purple
• Carrots - orange
• Clay - brown
• Dead Tongue Mushrooms - reddish
• Toad Skin Mushrooms - dark green
• Falcon's Bait Mushrooms - light green
• Red Sand - bold red
• Lead - blue grey
• Silver Powder - black
• Iron - rust
• Copper - aqua

The 4 catalysts are:

• Sulfur
• Potash
• Lime
• Saltpeter

Uses

• Paint is primarily used as a building material, and in research.

• You can buy a Paint License in the Desert Nomad Store. When using this it costs 75 paint to paint your warehouse.

Paint License: Permission to paint one warehouse once. Supplied in packs of 5

• You can use paint to add color to Shop shelves at the cost of 10 paint per shelf.

• When a building or research requires paint of a non-specific colour (ie, Greenish, or Whiteish), then any paint colour with that non-specific colour in the name will be accepted. For example, Spring Green and Forest Green will both satisfy a requirement for Greenish paint.

Recipes

Recipes involving the catalysts are Character Specific and thus will be different from person to person.

Some Base ingredients react with each other, the magnitude and direction of this reaction is also character specific.

Reactionless Paint Recipes involving just the base ingredients that don't react with each other can be used by anyone.

Ingredients and Mixing

There are eleven base ingredients, and each has a starting RGB value, listed below. Note: in earlier tellings, ores were used instead of metals. However, the RGB values are unchanged.

seem to be the same for t10

Paint Reactions

Here is the full table of possible reactions. Every player will have the same Color Reaction according to the table below, but the magnitude of the reaction (between -64 to +63) is avatar dependent.

Paint By Numbers

This is an Automato macro that will automatically test your character specific paint reactions, and log them to reactions.txt.

So run this, and take that reactions.txt file and import it into Desert Paint Codex (described below) under File > Profile > Import Practical Paint Reactions...

Then go to the Recipe Generator tab, and generate your character specific recipes. This will take hours, as it has to test more than a billion possible recipes with the default settings.

Once complete, you can optionally File > Recipes > Copy Paint Recipes to Clipboard to get them in Wiki format which you can put on your User page on this wiki
