Character Facial customization improvements

[Sziklamester]

Hello there! First of all I introduce myself I am Sziklamester and I like this game. I didn't find a proper suggestion or topic for this so I guess I can suggest some extras if possible if already someone came up with this idea then my bad so.

The character creation is nice in kenshi, but yet a bit limited. There are very few hairstyles and there are no separate face - eye creation option which makes the models looks similar. Also it would be nice if the model eyes can work like a real eyes and not some painted texture there / or add more type to each factions and races. A bit more faces could create some chances to make much more variation and for the humans it would be nice to have 5 type of faces with different eye colors and subrace models like, mongoloid, negro, caucasian, hispanic, norse or celtic type of faces so each of the human race can have a good amoun of variation with these new face types with more separated eye types. That is nice what have currently but on my shek I would like to have a nice reddish or amber like eyes but currently the current faces are part of the head textures so you can't have a separate eye option.

My question is these features can be made via modding or the developers can add these extras with "less" costly and efficient? That is not bad if the eyes have more life and not just a simple texture part on the face.

This was my question and suggestion here more coming with the time hope you find this useful or at least you can comment it. Feel free to add ideas here, thank you all!

adding the eyes is not currently possible.
you can customize the face to a point. but there have been bones removed to improve game performance.

I read something about this but at least skins it is possible to improve the face variety.

Kay another question. What need to be done in blender if I want to add a full mesh? I guess rigging and weight painting needed, but what about the model animating? The model can use the animation sets used in kenshi and can it be applied or should I make an own set of animation to make it work?

Thanks the answer and I know this is not exactly follow the topic but whatever.
