Crafting Dyes in ARK

To create dyes, you need either a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker. The base ingredients for all dyes include:

• Water – A fully filled Waterskin, Water Jar, or Canteen.
• Fuel – 2 units of Charcoal, or 1 unit of Gunpowder or Sparkpowder.
• Berries – The type and quantity depend on the desired dye color.

Once all ingredients are placed into the Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker, light the fire and wait for the dye to process. Each batch produces five units of dye.

Using Dyes in ARK

Dyes can be applied to different surfaces and objects in various ways:

• Armor, Weapons, and Saddles – Drag the dye onto the item in your inventory to open the coloring menu, where you can select specific parts to paint.

• Structures – Use a Paintbrush or a Spray Painter loaded with dye. Equip the tool and apply the color to structures manually or with precision using the painting interface.
• Creatures – Equip a Paintbrush with dye, approach the creature, and use the attack button to access the warpaint interface, allowing for detailed customization.

Tips for Efficient Dye Crafting

• Using Thatch as fuel in the Cooking Pot prevents unwanted Charcoal from affecting the dye’s final color.
• Always make sure that only the required ingredients are in the pot to avoid crafting the wrong dye.
• Experiment with different berry combinations to discover unique shades.

Result
