Allows you to put skins on tek gear. I always thought it was a shame that after you put all the effort into collecting things and killing bosses, you got a bunch of skins and then were unable to use those things with our strongest gear. It was lame, so I changed it. This will only work on skins gotten after the mod was installed, so you\\\'ll have to respawn with new skins to use them on tek gear.

This is accomplished by changing all the armor, sword, and shield skins to allow them to be put onto tek armor, swords, and shields. This means that it will not work with skins that came from other mods.

Now with support for skinning gliders! Gliders are skins themselves, so putting a skin on them is different than putting a skin on a normal item, as such, to skin a glider, you unlock the glider with the skin you want (0 engram point cost, right next to the normal glider.) All skinned gliders are crafted with a glider and the skin you want. Because of the way this is, the skin will lose any dyes applied and can not be pulled back off.

While we\'re here, if you agree with this mod idea, please look at this: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/474981-tek-armor/ For anyone who doesn\'t know, survivetheark.com is Ark\'s official website. The place I linked to specifically is the suggestions forum, which devs do look in and have commented in. The suggestions I\'ve linked to is one asking to let skins be put on tek armor. I\'d ask anyone here that agrees with this mod to look at this and vote up on that to bring it higher up in the suggestions forum so that the devs will see it and possibly add it. You can sign in with your steam account as well, so you don\'t need to make a new account if you don\'t have one there already.
