In this update, a new menu for equiping your characters with armors and weapons is added. To unlock them you need to find them all. In this guide, I will explain a bug/tactic that allows us to unlock them without finding them in the world.
Intro
If you did the Monolith update from beta, you will see there is a new menu, only for weapons and armors, called equipment editor. But as always, all of them are locked and says “find a creature with this item first” to use them.
I was doing it as I supposed, by letting civilizations grow and by checking their items one by one.
After some time, I mistakenly realize a method/bug that allows me to unlock them without needing to find them.
This tactic only works on armors and weapons, not in the genetics or features parts.
For the sake of the playthrough I recomend you to find some percent of them as you are expected so you can feel the challenge. Then use this way.
Also, this guide is only for making the game easier and allowing players to reach the pleasing parts with least effort. No harm to game or misuse is intended.

Method
Firstly, you need to chose a creature. I chosed this one.
Then you need to open the main info screen, by clicking the shown button.
In this screen, click the equipment editor button (shown in the image).
You should be able to reached this menu.
When you bring your mouse icon to a locked item, ıt says “find a creature with this item first”.
Click and hold clicked in the locked item that you want to unlock.
Without releasing your hold, slide the locked item to a next place. Can be right or left, sides has no difference. It is like a smartphone homescreen, this part is very similar to moving apps, and cause a moving reaction among them. While sliding a yellowish white smoke effect can be seen, like in my images.
After it is moved, release your hold and remove your mouse from the item. When you bring it back; its name, which is censored previously, became visible.
If you click the item, like you do an unlocked one while chosing it, it will act like one and allow you to choose it. When you choose, it became colored and gets unlocked.
You have to repeat this for all the items you want to unlock. Seems a lot but when you get used to it, an item will take approximately 3 seconds.

Last Words
By this, you can unlock all of the armors and weapons without searching the world/worlds. I explored this after completed the 1/3 of them. So I did my challenge and when it gets boring, used it to finish unlocking and moved to the playthrough.
Maybe when the beta testing is over or after this guide, it can be fixed/changed. But while I am writing this, it is still doable.
I am not sure if it is a bug or mistake. But considering the debug menu and its encouraged usage in the game, this is probably a treat from Maxim (developer of this game).
I love this game very much with 250 hours in it. So after I found this, I wanted to write a guide about it.
