Character Customisation

[TheLordMantis]

So i was wondering if there could be ways to customise you character in a future update which i think would be really cool! i would expect them all to be ficsit themed so all the different characters still feel satisfactory,

excuse me for being a robot fan but i would love a character that is robot themed

Thank you for your time and have a nice day!

It would be a great option for the AWESOME store, possibly in combination with the MAM or with a new building that acts as a "wardrobe"

I like the idea that you unlock the wardrobe building from the AWESOME store, and then it unlocks research (either via the MAM or the wardrobe itself) for different outfits/cosmetics, based on providing components and raw materials. So, if you want a quartz-look cosmetic plating, you'll need to provide quartz to unlock that cosmetic. If you want one that puts a circuitboard texture/pattern on your armour, you need to provide circuit boards. There's lots of room to play around with different patterns/designs that use mixes of materials too if the idea proves popular with players; and it gives a great end-game goal for those who want to unlock the full wardrobe.

I don’t think it fits with the theme. You are a faceless drone of a massive corporation. Your individuality does not matter. You live for the benefit of Ficsit. It is why the majority of rewards are simply better tools for doing your job. The few “cosmetic” rewards are laughably inadequate by design.

Only customisation so far what is been hinted by devs is changing colour.

I don't understand the point when the only time you can see yourself is in a hypertube or the Explorer.

I dunno, cosmetic rewards are pretty much a staple reward for faceless drones. Look at MMOs. Grind for 20 hours for this camo weapon skin or branded shirt. If you can motivate players with meaningless cosmetic items, you can motivate workers the same way, and there is little actual individuality, just the illusion of it in exchange for workers eagerly toiling away for trinkets. Seems pretty on-brand to me. Obviously everything would have the Ficsit logo and not impair their productivity.

Amazon genuinely uses that tactic to motivate their warehouse staff -- earn more Amazon points, redeemable only for Amazon merch (i.e. cosmetics) in the Amazon employee store, by working harder and being more productive. It would be very much in line with the game's theme/narrative, especially if the cosmetics were an inducement to provide an even higher resource output (or divert resources from your own advancement into advancing the Company instead -- a sinister but again all-too-real factor of workplace 'gamification', where workers are encouraged to play the game at their current tier rather than spend their time figuring out how to 'move up to the next league' so to speak)

I personally think as well as a wardrobe you can change what character you have when you log on to satisfactory so you can change the gender or if you want to make your character a robot(which I don't think will happen).
