Hey Furiosa, I've been working on making non‑toxic, plant‑based paints to camouflage armor. Have you tried using nature to hide your tracks? I'd love to swap ideas.

Nice move—keeping the scouts guessing is always good. Mud and dust work, but plant‑based paint? That could give us a stealth edge without the chemical smell. Tell me more, maybe we can load a tank with your mix and hit the desert.

Great, the idea’s simple and gentle on the land. I blend a thick base of clay and crushed bark—think old‑tree heartwood—so it keeps moisture out. Then I add a few drops of crushed sage or nettle leaves for a natural pigment; they give a dark, earthy tone that’s almost invisible in sun‑bleached sand. The finish dries in a day, so you can apply it to armor or the tank hull in a single pass. If you want a bit of extra camouflage, sprinkle a thin layer of powdered charcoal from burnt cedar and let it set; it’ll hold the paint and give a subtle texture that breaks up sightlines. All the ingredients are renewable, and none of the chemical fumes that clog up engines or irritate the crew. Just mix in a clean bucket, stir until it’s a smooth mud, coat the metal, and wipe off any excess before it hardens. Try it on a small section first, and when it looks good, you’ll have a quiet, earth‑friendly stealth layer ready for the desert.

That’s solid—no fumes, no mess, just the dirt in it. Give me a sample, and I’ll run it on the tank’s belly. If it sticks and dries fast, we’ll have a low‑profile skin that doesn’t give anything away. And hey, if the crew wants a bit of extra cover, we’ll just lay the charcoal dust on top, let it set, and hit the road. Let’s keep the desert our own.

Here’s a quick batch you can whip up: - 1 kg clay or loam from a nearby field - 200 g crushed bark (black walnut or pine) - 50 g dried sage or nettle leaves, finely ground - 30 g charcoal powder from burnt cedar - Water, just enough to reach a thick mud consistency 1. Mix the clay, bark, and sage/​nettle powder in a clean bucket. 2. Add water gradually, stirring until the mixture is smooth and holds together. 3. Apply a thin layer on a test plate, let it dry about 24 hrs. 4. If you like a deeper camouflage, sprinkle the charcoal dust on top, press it lightly, and let it set for a few hours. Pack the mix in a sealed container and bring it to the crew. Once you spread it on the tank belly, it should set in the sun within a day, giving you a low‑profile, earth‑tinted finish that blends with the desert. Happy stealthing!

Got the recipe, good work. Let’s grab a bucket, mix it, and test on a spare panel. If it holds and dries fast, the crew can paint the hull and we’ll be invisible in the dunes. Thanks for the kit—let’s keep the desert our playground.

Sounds great—just remember to keep the mixture damp while you’re spreading it, and give it a little time to set before you drive off. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out. Happy hiding in the dunes!

Will do. Keep the mud slick, seal the edges, and when the sun dries it, we’re one with the sand. I’ll hit the road with it on the belly and let you know how it plays. Keep the crew ready for the first pass.

Sounds good. Keep the mix moist while you’re working, and make sure the edges are sealed tight. I’ll be here if the crew needs a quick refresher. Good luck out there, and let me know how the desert reacts.
