You can already do it using a container. Of course, if you could atach a text to it, it would be better.

You can. There are cups and plates exactly for this purpose.

Custom descriptions are a good idea, but I wonder how it would work with stackable items. Can we perhaps implement this in one go with the personal descriptions?

Probably wouldn't work with named stackables unless they were treated as objects once tagged. Removing the tag would return them to resources.

How would this be any different than what we have with keys already?

I reconsidered my own suggestion and am now against it.

'cause I forgot language, altough one of a kind objects sound interesting, they'd have to be to translated into every language in the game, otherwise it would be very strange objects that is understandable which object it is in one language only.

I know there are keys, but I imagine keys of having a label onto em, this is of course only readable in one language. Same with ships and vehicles I imagine them having their name written someone upon them.

Then you could take a few grams of meat and call it a severed finger. Although it would be even neater if you could combine a few grams of bone and some meat and hide and call that a severed finger. Or combine food resources and call it a meal. Although you couldn't eat it without disassembling it, but technically you also disassemble a meal in real life when you pick things out of it with a fork or a spoon.

I really like this idea, it would be lots of fun
