Tailoring Dyeing route modules

8 guides

Unlock / First Cloth, sunny Emily cutscene, and Emily's house access

Unlock Tailoring With Cloth

用布解锁裁缝

Tailoring and Dyeing unlock during a sunny-day cutscene after the player obtains at least one Cloth. Emily explains that the sewing machine and Dye Pots inside Emily and Haley's house can now be used.

Tailoring / Cloth feed, spool item, shirts, pants, skirts, shorts, and hats

Sewing Machine Recipes

缝纫机配方

Most tailoring uses Cloth in the feed and one item on the spool. The spool item determines the output, creating shirts, pants, skirts, shorts, hats, or special clothing variants.

Dyeing / Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple inventory items

Dye Pots Six-Color Route

六色染缸路线

Dye Pots at Emily's house recolor worn clothing when the inventory has one item for each dye pot color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Dyeing / Dyeable clothing in feed, dye item on spool, dye strength, and quality ignored

Sewing Machine Dyeing

缝纫机染色

The sewing machine can dye one dyeable clothing item by putting the clothing in the feed and a dye item on the spool. Item quality does not affect the result, and dye strength controls how strong the color change is.

Special / Prismatic Shard, Rainbow Shell, random prismatic clothing, and color sliders

Prismatic and Rainbow Color Control

五彩与彩虹调色

Cloth plus Prismatic Shard can create random prismatic clothing, while Prismatic Shard or Rainbow Shell used for dyeing opens color sliders for any color choice.

Boots / Custom-tailored boots, appearance swap, and stats transfer

Boot Stat Transfer

鞋靴属性转移

Tailoring boots does not create a new item. It transfers the stats from one pair of boots or shoes to another pair so the player can keep preferred combat stats with a different look.

Reward / Emily special order, home Sewing Machine, and no Dye Pots at home

Rock Rejuvenation Sewing Machine

宝石能量特别订单缝纫机

Emily's Rock Rejuvenation special order can reward a Sewing Machine for the farmhouse. It supports tailoring from home, but Dye Pots remain an Emily-house system.

Materials / Wool, Loom, Sheep, Rabbits, recycling, Tent Kit pressure, and Mill costs

Cloth Production Planning

布料生产规划

Cloth is both the unlock item and the main tailoring feed. Plan Wool and Loom production from Sheep or Rabbits while remembering Cloth also appears in Tent Kit and Mill material routes.

Tailoring Material Guides

Cloth

Core tailoring material and unlock trigger.

Wool

Processed in the Loom from Sheep or Rabbits.

Prismatic Shard

Random prismatic clothing or flexible color dyeing after core shard uses.

Opens any-color slider dyeing without spending a Prismatic Shard.

Boots

Used to transfer stats to a preferred visual pair.
