Tinctoria is a plant that is used to dye the clothes and hair of a pawn to a set color, preferably the favorite color of a pawn.
Use the resulting dye to paint walls, floors, and other buildings, or to dye hair or apparel at a styling station.
Acquisition[edit]
Tinctoria may be grown in Grow Zones and has no Minimum growing skill to sow. It does not grow wild on the map. Tinctoria dye may occasionally be offered for purchase by traders.
Analysis[edit]
Since tinctoria needs only a 31% light level to actively grow (as the other "flower" crops do), Tinctoria will grow indoors with simple standing light or even by torch light. When grown at 50% light on normal soil, the plant will die before reaching 100% growth, but can be harvested early. Rich soil and hydroponics allow the plant to grow fast enough to reach maturity.
Tinctoria is a terrible cash crop, as each plant only provides 
2.65 worth of product, and tinctoria takes more time to sow than the average crop.
Growing[edit]
| Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fertility (%) | 70 | 100 | 140 | 280 |
| Real Grow Time (days)[1] | 5.27 | 3.69 | 2.64 | 1.32 |
| Base Yield/day[2] | 0.19 | 0.27 | 0.38 | 0.76 |
- ↑ Actual days to grow, taking into account rest time.
- ↑ Per plant, assuming Crop Yield Multiplier of 1.0.
Note that Difficulty settings change the Crop Yield Multiplier.
