Equipment Dyes and Previews

This game desperately needs a system for applying dyes to crafted clothing. The starter equipment showcases great potential that the crafted equivalents simply do not fulfil. Being able to add our own choice of colors to things would certainly help, as would the ability to add material effects such as silky glossiness or a subtler matte sheen.

Do not dismiss this as "unimportant because it is only cosmetic" - some players do not care what their character looks like, true - but there are also many who want to make their character look and feel distinctive, which has a direct effect on the overall fun factor.

It would also be helpful to add a preview option where the player can examine what a tool or piece of clothing will look like based on the currently chosen materials, before actually crafting it. This would be extremely useful for choosing metals and fabled leather types that complement the other shapes and colors of a tool or piece of apparel, for instance.
