Ark: Survival Evolved, the enthralling video game by Studio Wildcard, has captivated players since its release in August 2017. Compatible with PlayStation, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows, the game strands players on a mysterious island surrounded by ocean waters. In this virtual world, players must survive by defending themselves from hostile people and animals, establishing a base, taming wild prehistoric creatures, and building shelters. Color plays a significant role in the game, as structures, items, animals, and even people can be painted in various shades. With 25 different dyes available, players can create a vibrant and personalized gaming experience.
Essential Ingredients for Crafting Dye
To make dye in Ark: Survival Evolved, you’ll need the following items:
- A full water jar, canteen, or waterskin
- 2 charcoals, 1 gunpowder, or 1 sparkpowder
- Berries (the amount and combinations depend on the color you want to create)
- A cooking pot or industrial cooker
Adding a Splash of Color to Your Virtual World
Water is a crucial ingredient for each type of dye you make. Additionally, each dye requires either 2 charcoals, 1 gunpowder, or 1 sparkpowder. The specific combination of berries determines the final color of the paint. Once you’ve combined the ingredients from your inventory, cook the mixture in a pot or industrial cooker for a certain amount of time. Each batch yields five dyes, which can be used to color armor, weaponry, saddles, structures, or as warpaint.
To apply the dye, locate and highlight it in your inventory. Use the paintbrush icon or a spray painter icon to apply the dye to the desired object. For larger structures, left-click on a PC or right-click on the Xbox One. To remove dye, use the soap icon.
