Mud Coloring — Detailed Guide
What Mud Coloring paints
Mud Coloring changes the look of equipment, buildings and tames in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game describes it this way: "This substance can be used to color certain items and structures." The ARK Wiki describes how it is used: apply it to armor, weapons or saddles to color their regions, or put it in a 
Paintbrush or 
Spray Painter and paint structures and creatures.
Ingredients by game
Cooking happens in a Cooking Pot or an 
Industrial Cooker; each batch takes 10 seconds, gives 2 XP and yields 5 units. Our records and the wiki's main recipe give these ingredients for ASE:
- 7
Tintoberry - 6
Narcoberry - 4
Amarberry - 1
Azulberry - 1
Sparkpowder - 1
Water
The ASA version, per the ARK Wiki, uses 2 each of Amarberry, Azulberry, 
Cianberry, 
Magenberry, Tintoberry and 
Verdberry, plus 1 Water.
Carrying and finding it
One unit weighs 0.1, and a full stack of 100 weighs 10. The dye appears on 12 maps in our records, among them Extinction, Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, The Center, Ragnarok and Valguero. Loot can supply it too: 44 crate types can contain it, such as Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Purple.
