Coloring is used for coloring items in ATLAS.

Colorings currently act like a wood stain, applying a tint but leaving the natural color and texture visible. ATLAS promotional material suggests that bolder colorings may be planned. Note that not all colorings have been fully implemented during early access.

Crafting

Coloring may be crafted in the Cooking Pot or Grill from Berry and a filled Water container. Recipes may be found in the Dyes folder of the crafting window.

Note that each craft of Coloring consumes all the water in the container used. As a result, using Waterskins wastes less water.

Usage

Items such as Armor and Lanterns may be colored in the player's inventory by dragging the vial of Coloring onto the item.

Structures such as the Stone Floor or Wood Roof may be colored with a Paintbrush or Spray Painter. The front and rear faces of structures such as walls have different region numbers and thus can be painted with different colors.

Tattoos & Claim Flags

I think PlayAtlas has a very nice tutorial

Claim Flags

Anyone who has tried to convert a picture in Ark knows the easy way how to get a Claim Flag in ATLAS .

You need a picture with 256x256 Pixels.

The finished picture should be uploaded to a pnt converter or you can save the picture with your Program as a .pnt file.

You can also use the ARKpnt converter.

If you use the converter you need to download and save the file. For example, <Name>_ClaimingFlag_IslandSettlement_C.png

In the game directory "\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Saved\MyPaintings"

If everything went well, you should choose the painting when you use the brush to paint the flag.
