7 years ago I like everything about this idea, although I don't think they should give comfort, people would start complaining that the people with cosmetic have an advantage when healing on their base and such.
about the box, I think garry could do a Public fuction on the workshop editor where we can select the elements needed for each item. Because if people buy an item they want to see it right away if they have to look for something that might be as rare as the gears for instance is not going to sell.
Last time the concept was brought on table, but there wasn't really an end of the story. I'd decided to make a new post fully based on the focus of resolving the LOD and crafting cost issiue. (The server issiue could be resolved by facepunch?)
Firstly. Since lod's can't be generated, but they have to be there. Could it work to let us upload models with the correct naming (such as: model_0, model_1, model_2.) then add textures and preview it the same way as it works with regulair skinning. Then check for issiue's like in rust workshop V2. If the model fills in all requirements then it can be uploaded? I think if there are enough guides for people it shouldn't be a very big issiue.
Otherwise, maybe we could use unity again (or atleast for now). Then use the bundle tool to create .unity3d bundle files.
LOD's is a difficult subject, we can't really go around it (by ignoiring it). But personally i couldn't really think of a way to make it super accesable for everyone.
I made a little concept regardless.
Secondly the crafting cost. I think it should rather be given out by A "kit" you can find in crates/boxes than actually being able to craft it with resources. Similiar to the teddy bear the cosmetics could give comfort. Something like this that can be crafted into one of your bought cosmetic skins:
I'd really love to see an oppertunity for creators to make cosmetic items like the teddy. Just like skins it will contribute to the aesthetics of your base.
