🎨 Craftable Dyes

Craftable Dyes adds crafting recipes for dye colors that are not craftable in vanilla 7 Days to Die.

In the base game, dyes are often limited by loot RNG and trader availability.
This mod provides a clean and progression-friendly way to craft dyes yourself, while keeping the costs balanced and consistent with the vanilla survival loop.

To make the system feel complete and not “tacked on”, a few additional recipes were adjusted so the dye progression is more rounded and integrates better into crafting.

🔧 Features

• Adds crafting recipes for dye colors (vanilla-friendly)

• Balanced crafting costs (no free dyes, no trader dependency)

• Small supporting recipe adjustments for a more complete dye system

• No changes to vanilla item stats or gameplay mechanics

✅ Advantages

Removes the “loot-only” limitation for dyes
More consistent customization for bases, storage, and player gear
Great for builders and players who like clean visual organization
Fits naturally into vanilla progression without feeling overpowered

⚠️ Disadvantages / Notes

Dyes are no longer purely rare loot items
Depending on your playstyle, this can slightly reduce the “specialness” of finding dyes in the world
If you prefer strict vanilla scarcity, this mod may feel too convenient

🎯 Gameplay Focus

This mod is designed for players who want:

more reliable access to dyes
better base organization
consistent color customization
a crafting-based alternative to RNG

🔗 Compatibility

This mod is intended to be lightweight and should work alongside most crafting and UI mods.
It does not overwrite vanilla mechanics — it only adds/adjusts recipes to make dyes craftable and better integrated.
