| Summary | 0013248: Dye mix descriptions print wrong color | ||||
| Description | A dye mix description reads, "This is a X dye mix. When used as a dye, it produces Y." Y is the color of one of the original dyes (first one listed on task) and not the current color of the dye mix. https://i.ibb.co/zTwB5Gw3/dye-mix-desc-1.png https://i.ibb.co/C5GxDmVx/dye-mix-desc-2.png 1st screenshot, I made an apple green mix using bayberry (blue) and apple leaf (yellow) dyes. 2nd sc, made another apple green mix using willow bark (yellow) and olive leaf (woodland green). Only the descriptions are wrong. They dye items correctly: https://i.ibb.co/8DbkSwF9/dye-mix-desc-3.png | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Mix dyes, then view the resulting dye mix's description. | ||||
| Additional Information | Used DFHack for testing | ||||

"first one listed on task" --> correction: when mixing two dye bags, it'll produce two dye mix bags, each replacing one of the original dyes. One dye mix has the first og dye's color in its desc, the other mix has the 2nd og dye's color in its desc. |

Happens to me as well, and the incorrect descriptions can be inherited by secondary mixes - for example, producing pumpkin dye using a previously-made crimson dye mix can result in a dye described as "producing fuschia", the description for the red spinach dye used in the crimson mix. |
