 Desert Paint Codex is in itself a complete tool for finding personal reactions and generating recipes, although it is not configured with any tale specific reaction information, so all ingredients are considered "untested". When generating recipes, all untested combinations are considered to be "inert", meaning that if you don't test a certain combination of ingredients and then try to generate recipes using those ingredients, the resulting recipes can be wrong.
-At the start of the tale, DPC is great for testing the possible reactions, but when they have been documented it's easier to run "Automato/Paint By Numbers" to find all tale specific reactions for that character, and then open DPC and import the reactions into a profile for that character, before generating recipes.

 If "Automato/Paint By Numbers" has errors or missing reactions, you can fix those afterwards by first importing the reactions to DPC and then manually test all suspicious or missing reactions.
-You can also create a reactions file from DPC. Reading it, you can double check that all reactions in the table above are present, and that their values are never 0.

		+	Tips for finding reactions:
		+	* Try to get most, or all, of the ingredients, even if you plan not to use some for paint later, for example, Falcon's Bait mushrooms. They can help you find reactions if values go below 1 or above 254, in which case Paint By Numbers will look for a third ingredient that will help the number end up in the range 1-254. Trading can come in handy here, 2-5 of a mushroom should not be expensive.
		+	* You need two of each ingredient, and around 80 Red Sand, to calculate all tale specific reactions.
		+	* After a promising run, check the generated reactions file. If it contains the value "0" for any reaction, something is probably wrong, and you should either report this or fix this later in Desert Paint Codex.
		+	* If you don't have all ingredients the first time you calculate your reactions, you can use Desert Paint Codex later to complement the reactions, or of course just rerun Paint By Numbers with more ingredients.

-*** T11: If you "clip" a pair of Catalysts, you may not be to generate any recipes that have both those catalysts included correctly. The Desert Paint Codex team was not able to find a way around this problem after working on it for over one month. I can generate only 44 recipes using all ingredients except 2 mushrooms. I also tried to resolve "clip" using the "A-B-C" method but nothing changed. Zotep - 24 March 2024

-** T11 Windows build now available [https://desert-paint-lab.malkyne.org/ here]. Note that it is actually totally unaware of what ingredients react with each other in T11, so you have to provide that information yourself, either by experimenting inside DPC or by running Automato/paint_by_numbers, or a combination, before using the recipe generator. DPC assumes that any untested combination doesn't "react", which is usually also correct (94 combinations out of 224 react in T11).
