bundles of different colored wire - hipBEE - 07-12-2015
there should be some different colored bundles of wires around the station so that people can make sick wire arts in colors that aren't red

Paint does this?

As does making wires with other materials for their insulation.

I believe this is more for convenience, as making the QM order paint or making new wires is much harder to do than just grabbing a pile of wire from mechanics.

Also, lots of other servers already have this.
Then again, I think most also don't have a materials system, which, from what I understand, can cause some annoyances in making things certain colors.

How about a dye machine near the smelter for just applying colors to items?

It has about the same chance to be repaired as erebite not exploding when you smelt it.

You can scan it with mechanics
