Summary[ | ]

Appearance Modifier is a base building product that allows the player to change their avatar.

Choose a Race[ | ]

  • Anomaly - a humanoid astronaut, the helmet anonymises the face.
  • Gek - an alien trader race, short body, amphibian-like face, four fingers, two or four eyes
  • Vy'keen - an alien warrior race, big body, broad chin, often horned
  • Korvax - an alien explorer race, tall body, android face with a helmet
  • Traveller - diverse alien faces, ranging from insect/cat-like, to robotic, light bulb, or tetrahedron.
  • Autophage - Divergent entities disconnected from the convergence, then rebuilt

Customise Body and Clothing[ | ]

For each body property, you choose a type, markings (patterns), and colours.

  • Body Shape
  • Head
  • Torso
  • Armour
  • Gloves (including number of fingers)
  • Legs
  • Boots

Characters can choose custom banner icons and colors and a custom title in the Banner section of the Appearance Modifier.

An example of a custom banner would be the Appalling Banner, introduced during the Halloween update.

Additional Information[ | ]

  • In a new game the appearance of the player character is defaulted to an Anomaly.
  • Since the Appearance Modifier states that it merely changes the outside look of the player through holographic projections, rather than changing their species or DNA, all players could still be considered part of the Anomaly race even when they take the appearance of another species.
  • Camera View can be toggled between first-person and third-person to see the avatar.
  • Power consumption is 50kP.
  • Some special NPC head customisations can only be unlocked via save editing.
  • The Autophage race has been added to the customiser in the Echoes update, and must be unlocked through a questline.
