Forest Coloring — Detailed Guide
Dyeing with Forest Coloring
Forest Coloring recolors gear, buildings and creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its item text: "This substance can be used to color certain items and structures." Applied straight to armor, weapons or saddles, it changes the color of their regions; through a 
Paintbrush or a 
Spray Painter it reaches structures and creatures.
The two recipes
A 
Cooking Pot or an 
Industrial Cooker turns the ingredients into 5 units in 10 seconds, for 2 XP per craft. The recipe in ASE, as our records and the wiki's main list give it:
- 7
Amarberry - 7
Azulberry - 4
Narcoberry - 1
Gunpowder - 1
Water
For ASA the ARK Wiki gives different ingredients: 6 
Cianberry, 6 
Verdberry and 1 Water.
Weight, maps and crates
At 0.1 per unit, a full stack of 100 weighs 10. Our records list the dye on 12 maps, from The Island, Scorched Earth and Aberration to Crystal Isles, Lost Island and Fjordur. It also turns up in loot: 44 crate types can contain it, Genesis Orange, Genesis Purple and Genesis Red from Genesis Part 2 among them.
