In the game Ark: Survival Evolved, you can create different dyes to customize the appearance of items and structures. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make dye:
- Harvest Berries: Look for bushes and harvest different types of berries. The different types of berries yield different colored dyes. The berries you need are:
- Amarberry (red)
- Azulberry (blue)
- Tintoberry (green)
- Narcoberry (purple)
- Stimberry (yellow)
Use your fists or a tool like a pickaxe or a hatchet to gather berries.
- Cook the Berries: Place the berries in a cooking pot or industrial cooker, along with some water. The exact quantities will depend on the number of berries you have and the type of cooker you’re using. You can experiment to find the right ratio, but a good starting point is around 5-10 berries and 2-3 water containers.
- Light the Fire: Activate the cooking pot or industrial cooker and light the fire beneath it. If you’re using a cooking pot, you’ll need to add some thatch, wood, or another fuel source to the fire.
- Wait for Cooking: Let the berries cook in the pot until the process is complete. The cooking time can vary, but it usually takes a few seconds to a minute.
- Collect the Dye: Once the cooking process is finished, you’ll see the resulting dye in the inventory of the cooking pot or industrial cooker. Simply transfer it to your own inventory or storage.
- Repeat for Different Colors: To create dyes of other colors, repeat the process using different types of berries. You can mix different berries to create custom colors as well.
- Apply Dye: To use the dye, open your inventory or the inventory of the item you want to dye. Drag the dye onto the item to apply it. Keep in mind that some items have specific regions that can be dyed, while others can be fully dyed.
That’s it! You can now use the dyes you’ve created to personalize your items and structures in Ark: Survival Evolved.
FAQs
Q: How do I obtain the cooking pot or industrial cooker in Ark: Survival Evolved?
A: To obtain a cooking pot, you need to reach level 10 and learn the Cooking Pot engram. You can then craft it using resources such as thatch, wood, and stone. The industrial cooker, on the other hand, requires reaching level 30 and learning the Industrial Cooker engram. It requires more advanced resources like metal ingots, cementing paste, and polymer to craft.
Q: Can I mix different berries to create custom colors?
A: No, in Ark: Survival Evolved, you cannot directly mix different berries to create custom colors. Each type of berry will produce a specific color dye. However, you can apply multiple dyes to an item to achieve a blended or layered effect.
Q: Are there any other sources of dye in the game?
A: Yes, apart from berries, you can obtain additional dyes from certain creatures and resources. For example:
- Cactus Sap can be harvested from cacti and used to create a white dye.
- Charcoal, which is produced by burning wood or thatch, can be used to create black dye.
- Certain creatures like the Dilophosaur or the Dung Beetle can produce specific dyes when tamed and fed with certain items or resources.
Q: How long does the dye last once applied to an item?
A: Once dye is applied to an item in Ark: Survival Evolved, it is permanent and will not fade or wear off over time. However, if you paint over an item with a different dye, the new dye will replace the previous one.
Q: Can I remove dye from an item?
A: No, there is no built-in way to remove dye from an item in Ark: Survival Evolved. If you want to change the color of an item, you’ll need to paint it with a different dye. Keep in mind that some items may have certain regions that cannot be dyed or that retain their default color.
