I finished the cloud crafting stuff, up to and including extracting dyes from rainbows.
I was hoping it was possible to glaze blocks but it seems it is impossible. A wood painting system will be in a bit later, seperate from the pegasus stuff.
Currently there's a custom building and a long and arduous project to build a rainbow, and then you're done, outside it being a required tool for rainbow extraction.
I am currently on the fence whether i want the rainbow to be randomly consumed upon use or not. I does take quite a bit of time and resources to make one and if you lose one on your first color extraction, that would suck. So I'm looking for options and other uses for that.
Current implemented features of cloud crafting:Custom resource systemyou can make clouds from cloud seeds harvested in the Weather Factory building (not a plant, everything happens in the building).
Takes a bit of management to make sure you don't spend your last cloud without having a seed handy, as the gather wild seed reaction is slow.
Crafts and FurnitureClouds can be turned into light clouds, which can be crafted into crafts for selling, or into higher quality furniture, including beds. This is done in the Cloudsculpting Workshop.
Rainbow GrowingA fairly long and advanced process.. growing a rainbow from scratch involves eight different steps of production, which will ofcourse be detailed in the readme.
I promise it looks alot more advanced than it actually is, and the reaction tooltips give some pretty good hints.
Rainbow growing is done in the Rainbow Refractor building.
Extracting colors and dyesThe Color Extrapolator building lets you harvest color from your rainbows, all you need is a jug for storage and some water to dilute the colors (via bucket of water)
After extracting a color, you can turn it into a cloth dye... The extracted colors will have some more uses at a later point.
Currently all these buildings are free, but they will require some added measure in the future.. Most likely they will be unlockable with research, either as a package deal or induvidual buildings and reactions seperately. I have not made up my mind on that quite yet
