I notice some mods have a little bit of this in them but I don't think I've ever seen a mod that was dedicated to it. Is the community interested at all in that idea because it seems like one of the larger problems the game has. Like, the existence of stuff like the Breezy Vest which is totally useless but if the developers gave it like sixty more insulation it would actually be viable. Wouldn't think it would be a very complicated mod to make although I wouldn't be able to, just seems like nobody has ever thought to try making it though.
The game would be a lot more interesting if all those obscure items and equipment were actually viable to make beyond really niche purposes.
