Here is a video showcasing how to replace the head of a Roly Poly:
Load the Blueprint
Start by pressing F2 to open the editor. Press F6 and look for the pioneer blueprint you want to edit, then double click it to load it. This opens the blueprint editor (otherwise accessible with F4). On the right hand sight you should see the editor still open for editing the blueprint.
Select the Object to edit
Open the objects tab in the editor and select the object you want to edit, in this case "Head Cover" or just click it on the preview.
Drag your Picture in the Game
Now drag a face of your choice with transparent background from this guide (only from the browser), your files, the ingame file browser(F3) or the internet onto the MO Texture Box to add it to the game. Then select it by clicking on it. If you can not drag these images into your game try downloading them first and dragging them from your files into the game.


Adjust the Object
Adjust the scale of the face with the highlighted setting under the texture box. Adjust its position by dragging it in the blueprint editor.

Save your Blueprint
In the blueprint tab change the name of the blueprint and press save.
Set him as Standard Pioneer
Select Activity Edit mode at the top of editor and drag your new pioneer from your blueprint library (F6) onto the standard pioneer box to set him as default pioneer.

Add your Standard Pioneer to the Scene
Press edit activity and then press add standard pioneer and position your added pioneer if your scene has not standard pioneer yet. Make sure no other pioneer is in the activity blueprints list.
That's it
To share your blueprint just drag the Blueprint PNG out of your blueprint library or upload it on the workshop. If you have any questions or got stuck somewhere please don't hesitate to ask.

Really Nice, also works for changing the texture of any other part of your Blueprint :)
