Add Towels

[IProduceWidgets]

About the PR

Department color towels are also included as department/role long-term playtime trinkets.

Why / Balance

A towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

you should make them be able to be worn on your head

[Djungelskog2]

nevermind im fucking blind

Did do. Unfortunately due to a limitation I cant make them hide hair however.

[slarticodefast]

There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.

[UbaserB]

This is so silly omg

[GoldenCan]

Wow.
Wow.

Finally someone decided to PR this. I have tried to make some sprites myself but they were rather terrible.

Being able to equip towels in so many different regions really sells the idea of their multipurposeness, but i wish these could be used like to clean up minor spills like a bar rag, or that they could be worn over the eyes like a blindfold.

Regardless, this is a fanastic PR! The sprites look great and the towel can be worn in all the places where it would be expected.

Would it be possible to wear the towel on the shoulders too? Using the neck slot

BIG seconded to being used for cleanup purposes, would be really helpful for folks to help clean messes in a pinch.

I agree and they could probably completely replace the rag, since the rag sprite looks weird #25051

Seconding this. I wanna drape it across my shoulders like the pic

[slarticodefast]

Tested in-game and everything works as intended. Should be good to merge.

[chromiumboy]

Awesome, looks good to me

We can give the high unlock times a try and see what the players think of them. If neccessary, we can always lower them later.
But I think it is fine considering it is only a visual color change. And it serves as a fun loyalty item for experienced players that also encourages you to try out other departments more.
