How would I have a custom race use different armor textures than others for the same armor, or is this even possible without having separate items? I do plan on using this info some day, but rn I'm just wondering
There's a mod that provides this functionality for other mods to use, but as far as I know, it's not otherwise possible without some pretty complicated work, and even with this mod, it's still technically adding separate items, it's just that the "normal" version of a clothing item will get changed into the species-appropriate version when worn by a member of that species: https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/species-clothing.4834/
