Specific Colors

I believe there should be a way to choose the type of dye you want to use. Or is there some way to do that already? For instance, I want to make blue cloaks as per my guards' uniform template, but when I dye the thread I cannot designate the workshops to only use dimple dye; conversely, I cannot specify the clothier's shops to only use blue dyed thread when making cloaks. The only way I see around this is to forbid the respective dyes you don't want to use and/or the wrong-colored thread when making the end product, but there really should be a better way to do this. --Bronzebeard 04:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

  • The only other way I can think of is to 'd'ump the blue threads into a quantum stockpile near the clothier, then proceed to make cloaks. He'll choose the closest unforbidden material. 97.103.188.15 20:04, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
