2.0.0 UPDATE: Make sure to BACKUP YOUR WORLDS first before attempting this update, as it includes some small worldgen changes and a block / item Remapping. If you have crafted any of Material Needs' Aged or Very Aged wood variants of Bookshelves, Scroll Racks, or Crates, I would recommend emptying the contents of those out first before attempting to update your world, as these blocks do not seem to play nicely with Remapping. You can craft new ones after updating. All you need to do to update is:

1. Backup your world, just in case!
2. Empty out any modded Aged or Very Aged Bookshelves, Scroll Racks, or Crates on your world.
3. Download and install Material Needs 2.0.0.
4. Download and install Material Needs: Flowers 2.0.0.
5. Run your world and double check that Aged Wood and Flowers look good!

This update moves Material Needs' Aged Wood varieties to operate under the Mod Domain ("materialneeds") rather than the Game Domain. This should now greatly improve compatibility with other mods and play nicely with any mods that utilize the base game's wood varieties. This update also moves Material Needs' Flower varieties to its sister mod Material Needs: Flowers ("mnflowers"), however these flowers are still patched into the Game Domain so they should continue to operate exactly the same.

This mod greatly expands the volume of building materials available to you in Survival Mode by adding hundreds of new color variants of existing materials such as Plaster, Wattle & Daub, Rammed Earth, Flowers, Wood and more, and introduces countless new recipes for materials previously only available in Creative Mode, such as Aged Wood, Roof Beams, Rope Beams, Aged Ashlar, Cracked Ashlar, Clay Blocks, Dirty Gravel, Muddy Gravel, Rubble, Boulders and more! Given that inherently creative sandbox building format of Vintage Story, I feel it's imperative that Survival Mode players have access to almost every texture in the game for building purposes.

This Mod Includes:

• Over 100 new Color Plaster Blocks.
• Over 100 new Color Wattle & Daub Blocks, giving a new use for gravel.
• 170 new Color Rammed Earth Blocks.
• 10 new Mudbrick Varieties.
• 10 new Stone Varniants all based on real world varieties. - You will need to download Material Needs: Geology to install these.
• 28 new Flower Color Variants all based on real world varieties. - You will need to download Material Needs: Flowers to install these.
• 8 new dyes, Vermilion, Amber, Cyan, Chartreuse, Indigo and Magenta, now covering the full color spectrum. Also added Dark Brown and Light Brown.
• Several new Aged Wood blocks to make Aged Wood and Very Aged Wood sets fully complete and visually consistent.
• Survival recipes for Aged Ashlar Blocks.
• Survival recipes for Cracked Ashlar Blocks.
• Survival recipes for Beam Variants which were previously only obtainable in Creative Mode.
• Survival recipes for Aged Wood, Aged Hay, and Aged Thatch Roof variants.
• Survival recipes for Aged Wood Roof variants.

Specially designed for builders, this mod greatly expands the variety of Plaster, Wattle & Daub and Rammed Earth blocks to 34 (ish) colors each! With hues and shades close enough to other colors that they will work well together for blending and texturing work, the aim of this mod is to provide builders with a broad and comprehensive color palette for designing builds. These colors are made to be faithful to the quality and style of the standard VS block palette.

Color Plaster Blocks are now produced by dyeing blocks in a barrel using the game's existing dyes, plus 8 new dyes, Vermilion, Amber, Cyan, Chartreuse, Indigo and Magenta, (plus Dark Brown and Light Brown) making Vintage Story dyes now cover the full color spectrum. The new Daub varieties use gravel for crafting grid recipes instead of sand so as not to interfere with vanilla daub recipes, which is still consistent with real world Wattle & Daub creation, they also all have barrel dye recipes for maximum flexibility. Cobalt, Magenta, and Violet are considered "royal" colors and are specially obtained through barrel dyeing only, while the rest of the new daubs have crafting grid recipes. All new Plaster and Wattle & Daub blocks are chiselable and should be compatible with QPTech's QP's Chisel Tools. You will not need to download any dependency mods like Expanded Matter, Material Needs will work on its own! 

Please post pics of any builds you create with this mod, I would absolutely love to see what you create!

Enormous thanks to Brady_The, JonR, NiclAss and jayu for help ironing out the technical details on this one.
