Member-Run Project Get Fabulous or Dye Trying: The 1.3 Dye Thread

[Alaron]

Well, since you asked for feedback...

I miss the old dyes, especially the <Color> and Silver Dyes. They are darker now, and they dye different places. For example, one of my characters wore Yellow and Silver Shroomite Headgear, Adamantine Breastplate, and Orichalcum Leggings. Overall, the armor was mostly silver with some bright yellow. Now, the Shroomite Headgear's yellow regions are darker, the Adamantine Breastplate is mostly brown with a few yellow regions, and the Orichalcum Leggings are solid yellow (and darker).
Also, while some of the new dyes are cool, I dislike how many of them override the pattern of colors completely. To illustrate: the old <Color> and Silver Dyes made the colored regions on an item silver, and the white/silver regions that color. The new dyes don't care what regions are colored or not, they just replace it with whatever color/pattern/effect they have.
Basically, I'm disappointed that my choices for keeping the pattern of what I'm dyeing went down with an update that added so many new Dyes, rather than going up.

They grow in moss as well

Should be possible to farm them.

Would the new fire moss found in the underworld and brought to the underground work?

 

[Devalaous]

Lava Moss cant spread beyond the lava level, but yes, it can also grow strange plants. I originally thought one of the strange plants would ONLY grow in it, due to its colour...but then I found one growing in the Crimson *shrug*

Anyone got some interesting looks for the Stardust Guardian yet?

Lava Moss cant spread beyond the lava level

I used a staff of regrowth to spread the moss to the underground layer.

Oh cool, Yorai changed that. Nevermind me then

(What wing/dye setup is that btw?)

@SpliceCraftTeria could probably say the correct one, but i'm going to assume that it's solar wings with blue flame dye.

 

[Devalaous]

Looks quite nice. I have yet to fool around with Solar wings, since my main character is far too attached to the Nebula gear.

 

[galacticGammawave]

It's Solar Wings with Blue Flame and Black Dye. I still wear Nebula or Spectre armor though.

 

[Devalaous]

Solar Flare armour looks really good with @Loki's Dye

Are there also new hair dyes?

 

[It's a me!]

Are there also new hair dyes?

I'd love to use some of the hair dyes as normal dyes. Most outfits I use end up covering everything, so I can't really use them...

 

[iamfroot]

Just wondering, what's the story behind Skiph's Blood Dye? I can imagine it would not be pleasant being liquified and preserved as a dye

But seriously, it is one hell of a dye. Very pretty

Totally. Skiph's dye is supreme. Try putting it on your UFO mounts if you haven't already

 

[Devalaous]

Martian Hair Dye and Twilight Hair Dye. We never did hassle @Skiphs enough for hair dyes

Ghostar and I both use Twilight Hair Dye a lot.

 

[daimoth]

PSA - dyes in your pet slot affect whatever that thing is.

That's Skiph's blood, btw. Currently my favorite dye.

Pokemon Gen I, anyone? Black and White dye, btw (not silver and black, there's a difference now)

 

[Alaron]

Well, I was just playing around with Dyes some more, and noticed that the Bright <Color> Dyes seem to be much improved. They aren't near as washed out as I remember, and I'm actually using some now.

And seeing the new dyes in those gifs is nice. I really wish some of them were paints. Vortex Dye in particular caught my eye-- I would put Vortex Paint on everything. Shifting Sands Paint would be fantastic for deserts. Phase Paint and Void Paint would also be fun.

Is there a Living Green Flame Dye? We now have Living Flame Dye, and Living Ocean Dye is pretty close to Living Blue Flame Dye, but no Living Green Flame Dye in sight.

We never did hassle Skiphs enough for hair dyes

Also, more Hair Dyes! Various kinds of Hades Hair Dye would be hilarious, and the various Reflective Dyes seem like they would do well as Hair Dyes.

 

[daimoth]

White/X dyes look much, much better now too. Seriously, try some of the old ugly dye colors.

 

[Devalaous]

Found this on my 1.2 world. so yes, they do spawn on old worlds!

 

[ppowersteef]

That's good news to hear!
