==Intro==
Paint mix, or paint_mix.lua is a script available in [[Automato]] that will mix any paints for you, according to your own recipes.

==Manual use==
On your Windows computer, assuming Automato is installed in the default location:

- Open Windows Explorer (i.e. press Windows key + E)
- Select This PC in the navigation pane on the left
- Click on your main drive. It will have a name, depending on your computer and (C:)
- Double click the Games folder
- Double click the Automato folder
- Double click the games folder
- Double click the ATITD9 folder
- Double click the paint_recipes file
- You will want to overwrite the current content with your recipes.
- Add your recipe in the format '''Color : Ingredient1 x Ingredient2 x - #Example'''
i.e. Sienna : Cabbage 1 Clay 9 - #Example

Note: the last part #Example needs to be present, but can say #Anything

Now save the text file.

Go open Automato, open paint_mix.lua from the list and choose a color from the drop down. Enter how many units of paint you want.
The script will tell you how many units of each material you need.
Ensure you have all the materials on you, then Click the green Process button.
The script will now make all your paint.

If you have an upgraded paint lab, it will also automatically select the most appropriate batch size to make the paint as quick as possible.
