Why don't merchants ever seem to sell clothes?

[Sophia Snuggles]

They sell armour, furniture and weapons just fine, but never any clothes.

I seen mine sell cosmetics from time to time. So probably you are just unlucky with the ones you find.

[Sophia Snuggles]

I really wish there was a way to guarentee getting merchants with particular kinds of items for sale.

[Ydyp]

Probably there is, but you will need to head over to the workshop for it.

[Sophia Snuggles]

I couldn't find anything in the workshop either.

clothes as in?
The ones you can setup with character creation. They do sell those on occasion. Finding one that does... Might need a lower tier planet for more of a possibility though.
cosmetics I would deem rare, and not often I see one sell one of those. I've only seen one so far with all the merchants I have been through; avians having the most merchants in their sandstone villages.
And like other person mentions, just might be RNG, or well the worlds you are visiting.

As to colonists, I haven't a clue. Haven't seen them sell many CC clothing just yet. Wondering if they do. Possibly, but again it most likely RNG for that as well... hmm...

[tamorr]

Look up the Wardrobe mod... That has cosmetics mainly, but also has others... Might be spelt wrong...

[Sophia Snuggles]

All my merchants are on the garden planet I started in, so I doubt it's planet tier that's the problem.

Don't know if this is in the workshop, but is the one I am talking about.

Is there a mod that just enables you to craft all the starter clothing instead?

[tamorr]

use to be... but I haven't seen that one actually update in a long while... maybe asking in the modding section someone could whip one up. I don't see it being all that difficult. I am not familiar with the new modding system yet to do it myself unfortunately. I just know it is possible. I am use to the system that was way back when in beta, so I have quite a bit to re-learn before I start doing things like that.

[Ydyp]

I know there are some basic cloths you can craft at the spinning wheel, but think those only include the starter ones for your race. So for those you don't realy need a mod.

[Sonata]

There are cloth merchants you can find them sometimes in random places on low tier planets, at least in beta they used to be in the game idk if they still are in the game

[Sophia Snuggles]

Sonata, beta sectres are no longer a thing.

Think was a misunderstanding here. The clothing merchants were in yes before 1.0... beta meaning anything before 1.0.

As to if those clothing merchants being still there... I haven't seen any specifically clothes only. Only a few here or there that did sell maybe one or two pieces of their species on top of what else they sold. That is quite rare though it seems. :(

They need to bring back specialised merchants. ;w;
