Paint Mixer
A mixing station for all manners of colors used in paint.
Notes
The Paint Mixer is a tier-2 crafting station for producing paint, ink, art supplies, and decorative books. It requires a room with at least 24 cubic meters of free volume and accepts Basic and Painting Upgrade modules to improve efficiency. Because it demands a tier-2 room, ensure your settlement has progressed to brick or advanced-block construction before building one.
