Paint

"Splash some color around."

Paint is a tool for decorating a world by changing the color of blocks and back walls.

Appearance

Paint appears in a Blockhead's inventory as a bucket overflowing with a liquid of its color. Different colors of paint are treated as different items in inventory and cannot be stacked with each other.

Creating

A mixing bench is used to create paint from a tin bucket, five oil, and one to three units of dye. The color of paint produced depends on the combination of dyes used, selected within the mixing bench menus. The level of the mixing bench limits the number of dyes allowed, see Dye for results.

Using

A single bucket of paint can be used multiple times, slowly wearing down with each application. Each application will color one space unit of block or back wall. It's currently assumed that when a bucket of paint is used up, an empty tin bucket will be returned.

Paint will not color the sides of a block, nor will it work on dirt or sand. A Blockhead using paint will not disturb a placed object such as a ladder or oil lantern. Blocks placed in front of a painted back wall will adopt the painted color, and removing a painted block will transfer the color to any back wall remaining.

Removing

Paint stripper functions as an anti-paint, removing one space unit of paint. Placing a block of dirt or sand in front of a painted back wall will remove the paint there which will not return if the block is removed. It's assumed that removing a back wall will remove any paint on it.
