Skins are the different space suit styles that the player can wear. They all have the same functionality, only the looks are different. By default, the engineer has a primary colour and a plain undecorated suit.

You change your suit and tool skins in a Medical Room in game, or in the Character Screen on the game main screen. After you got a new suit or tool skin, the Character button on your start screen will be marked with a triangle in the top-right corner.

How to obtain skins

You have multiple options how to get different skins and looks in addition to the default:

Install free mods via Steam Workshop or Mod.io
Buy exclusive suit styles by buying DLCs
(Steam only) Buy skins from the Steam Market
(Steam only) Loot skins for free from Cargo Drops in Survival games; if you have duplicate skins, you can also "recycle" unwanted ones and get a random new one from Steam.

Skins are available in common (grey), uncommon (green), unusual (blue), rare (purple) and exceptional (gold) rarity levels. Most skins are part of the Steam Community Market and can be traded there.

The exclusive skins (gold) cannot be found in free cargo drops and therefore cannot be traded via Steam. To get such a skin, different conditions are necessary (including buying DLC), which are described at each set.
