Feedback/Comments/Reviews for Inventions
Like the room comments, have them for inventions. By default only visible to the creator, possibly a total number displayed, however, would be best if there was a way to allow them to be set to public by a setting on each comment so that it could be used to show other potential buyers. People could use them to share their opinions on the invention or let others know of potential issues.
As it is now, descriptions on inventions are very brief due to the character limitations and usually resort to people being redirected to other sources, such as a Discord server. Even with the current try feature some inventions can be easily discarded unless there was a comment by a user that said something like "Pivot point is out of place, look out side your Dorm Room wall for trigger handle". Then you would know that the invention you just tried isn't actually broken, they just didn't account for it being inside a dorm. These comments then could be used by moderations staff if someone reports an invention and they could possibly see that many people have been having issues with said invention and it could be determined that the invention was intentionally designed to troll player maps. For example, one invention that had parts outside the normal player space and if not selected will show that the invention is used in that room regardless of how much you attempted to correct it.
Even with the comments remaining private until made public, other users could see a count of comments and make perceptions from that. Imagine an item with 400 downloads, but only 10 cheers and 100 comments. If you tried the item out and noticed that, you would probably assume there is something wrong with the invention, like not working as intended. But, if comments are low and cheers are high, I would assume people have had no issues with it. Though the comments could be review like, that would be something the creator would probably make visible.
