Dino Costumes disappear when picked up
Whenever I killed a ghost dino or a bone carno (alpha), I can see the costume in my dinos inventory (auto pickup). As soon as I try to move it to my inventory, it disappears.
I'm probably missing something about the way it works now. Is everyone else getting this?
I'm on a private server.

When you open your inventory you have 3 tabs: Inventory, Crafting, Cosmetics. For me all those costumes are in the cosmetics tab on the right-sided part of the cosmetics. From there I can move them into a storage, but as soon as I take it out from there it is again in the cosmetics tab.

When you kill a ghost or bone dino, you unlock the skin permanently. With the new cosmetic system, you don't need the permanently unlocked skin item sitting in your inventory in order to apply it.

If you go to your cosmetic tab and click on the create cosmetics tab on the far right, it will list all skins you have unlocked. You can then apply the skins from there so long as you have the weapon, tool, or armor piece that the skin can be applied to in your inventory. To apply a skin to a creature, you open it's inventory, then go to the create cosmetics tab and apply it the same way.

The only reason to hold onto the actual skin item, is if you want to gift it to someone.
