tModLoader Dye Easy - finally crafting dyes is a bit less painful!

[gardenapple]

Note: this thread has been merged into the "Vanilla Tweaks + other little tweak mods" thread.

Dye Easy is a tiny mod that makes Basic and Compound dyes much easier to get by changing their crafting recipes. It's based on one of my old suggestions, way back from 1.2. Yes, I know that those dyes aren't as cool anymore since the release of Strange dyes... But let's at least give them a chance

So, here's the list of changes:

• You now get 3 Basic dyes per recipe. That way finding just one ingredient is enough for a full set of armor. For example:
  
  1x Red Husk =
  
  3x Red Dye.
• When you combine dyes, you get the same amount of dye that you used in the recipe. For example:
  
  1x Red Dye +
  
  1x Orange Dye +
  
  1x Yellow Dye =
  
  3x Flame Dye,
  
  1x Cyan Dye +
  
  1x Black Dye =
  
  2x Cyan and Black Dye etc.
• Note that recipes for Bright Silver, Intense Flame/Rainbow, Pink Gel, Shifting Pearlsands and Lunar dyes remain unchanged.

Also, theoretically this mod should work with dyes from other mods.

Download: through the in-Game Mod Browser or from here. Latest version is compatible with tModLoader v0.8.

Ok, that is good but.... You'll need to change a bit of price from the dyes. Because if you don't do this, it can be easy money

Oh. I forgot about that!
But that'll have to wait for tomorrow.

I decided against changing the price of dyes, because it overcomplicates things too much. Leaving the price as is won't really be an exploit.
Yes, you will get 3x as much money from one ingredient... But they are really rare and 60 silver (the cost of 3 basic dyes) is honestly not a lot.

well maybe you just need someone to help you change the prices..? I'm guessing 6 silver 70 copper would be the price to sell the dyes at

oh and I love your mod ♥

Great mod! Also, I think the mod name is a reference to the movie title "Die Hard."

It should be, unless I forgot about it. Let me check...
EDIT: DyeEasy v1.4 for tML v0.8 is available since yesterday and it already has 156 downloads. You should be able to find it just fine.

Yep, thanks for replying. I am a big fan of your mods. Always the little things that help

Gotta say you're one of the best modders around, just simple changes like this can make the game a million times better

What would be awesome is to be able to dye weapons, imagine yourself in rainbow including your weapon !

I'm thinking of merging this (as well as the Boss Expertise thread) into the "Vanilla Tweaks + other little tweak mods" thread. Is everyone OK with that?

I want to do this because this mod is really, really tiny (so I'm not sure if it deserves it's own thread really) and there is very little discussion going on here.

I don't see any reason not

Alright, it's done! You can see the new gigantic Tweaks mod thread here: http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/vanilla-tweaks-other-little-tweak-mods.37443/

I'll close this thread down soon.
