. . . crew hats can't be changed??

I WANT MY harem CREW TO STRUT AROUND IN AVIAN LOINCLOTHS AND SASSY BERETS, KLUEX DAMNIT!!

/rage

K, seriously, is there a reason for this? Kinda defeats the purpose of a tailor if you can't change the whole outfit :\

 

So you could look at their uncool hats they acquired while you were running quests for them, of course!
Look for Earth's Finest and Crew Customisation.

 

Tigerhat McMonkey face is pretty cool i have to agree

 

I stopped using mods for any and all games a long time ago and will never use them again:

1. I waste so much time on waiting for updates/fixes and dealing with compatibility issues.
2. I get frustrated and uninstall the mods, only to struggle with re-learning vanilla.
3. I quit the game completely.

Mods are neat, but they should never be the final answer to an issue that the devs should address.

 

Your call then, cause the only other solution is to dig into game files yourself. CF has done quite a bit of questionable decisions in 1.0, and it's unlikely to change anytime soon.

 

Chucklefish actually went incredibly far out of their way to make this an actual feature of the game. Head slot items on crew members are preserved and treated very carefully by the game. There are comments in the crew code that refer to it as "preserving their individuality."

I doubt they plan on changing it and using a mod is a pretty decent solution to the problem.
