Paintable Spots & Objects

Its my take on a mod that allows you to change transparency on spots between 100%, 50% and invisible. It also allows you to paint spots to better blend ind, and also add the paintable options to some core objects and mods.

First off a huge tanks to Scurvyez for helping me out with the mod, super nice guy.

And if you like the mod let me know and give it a thumbs-up. Feel free to suggest spots i can add to the mod or objects i can make paintable.

Overview

Transprant Spots Invisible Spots Paintable Spots Paintable Objects Mod Compatible

The mod uses Vanilla Expanded Framework as it gives you a button that allows you to choose between textures. As for now you can choose between the normal spot texture, a 50% transprant, and a invisible texture. Just be aware that you can't see the invisible texture :D in the select menu.. but its there. So hold the mouse over it and you will see the name of it.

Added a simple recipe to make Synthetic Dye (Normal Dye) from chemfuel at the Biofuel Refinery, as an alternative to get dye by growing it if you have a lot of spear chemfuel. Cost x10 chemfuel for 1 dye.
