hmmm... now I must find other creatures that produce dye.


Your next task is to make it possible to boil silk worms for silk and have a silk industry in that manner. ^___^

Oh! Beetles! Beetles make red. I'm not sure which ones tho.

Just in case you want the dye color instead of using generic purple, Fortbent has the color included because one of the castes in there has that as the color of their blood.

[COLOR:TYRIAN_PURPLE]
   [NAME:tyrian purple]
   [WORD:PURPLE]
   [RGB:119:0:60]

Ah, that'll be useful! I'd probably change it to "imperial purple" though, because a) that sounds much more impressive and b) doesn't reference an irl location that won't exist in your generated DF world :)

...I changed it to "tyrian" from "imperial" specifically to fit with this mod instead of Fortbent :P like, here's the color as it originally was

[COLOR:TYRIAN_PURPLE]

AH, brilliant! I'll be sure to include that, then! I might make a custom colour for the unrefined dye as well. I'm working on my other mod rn, but I'll try testing this out shortly.

PS. Smeeprocket, you're thinking of cochineal.
