Good news! It was pretty easy to add appearance customisation into the game! I've put it into the unstable branch over on Discord if you'd be willing to try it out!? <3 I don't plan on adding support for custom traits rn – they need to have at least one negative trait, none of us are perfect :D

Customise your #Adaptory base with cozy comfort buildings in #Update 2! Each explorer has their different design requirements to make your planetoid a (temporary) home. Bean bags, bookshelves, adjustable lighting, and more will really tie your rooms together. #indiegame #earlyaccess #indiedev

A screenshot of a cave and ruin-themed bedroom in Adaptory. Stalactites hang from the roof, an alien ruin column is in the bottom right corner, and an explorer sleeps happily in their bed, above a grey bean bag and a display stand showing a mysterious relic...

A screenshot of a study-themed bedroom in Adaptory. The room is split into three floors, with bookshelves lining the top and bottom of the room. In the centre, an explorer is smiling happily as they run past their bed, blue bean bag, and salt lamp.

A screenshot of a customised Adaptory bedroom. Many plants are arranged on different levels and an orange bean bag sits between a pair of bookshelves and a radiator that heats the room. A diagonal line of windows shows a full spring running outside the room, and an explorer is chilling, enjoying the view.

A screenshot of a circular, plant-themed bedroom in Adaptory. The room is near the surface, showing some nebula in the background. The room has a number of plants and trees, some planters even growing plants on the ceiling. Three green storage boxes are dotted around the room, matching a green bean bag in the centre, and an explorer is sleeping happily under a window out to the open space above the base.
