Packages should have a config / resources folder

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to have packages that are easy to insert and come with a config. This is because when you make a config, all of it links to the package. I want to make a feature request for a “Folder” that would be called “Resources” or “Config.” What this would allow for is for developers to have a little README on how to use the resources / config folder with the package. They could allow package users to insert resources, like parts, assets, other objects, etc. into the package, so that the script can work with those chosen things in cases when needed. They could also allow the package makers to use config folders with values that are linked to the package, but their values aren’t, and also have one other thing, a script for effective configuration and object definition (like using a module to work like a json script, since config values don’t allow EVERY type of data to be stored, and storing many might need a place to put it in.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because it would in general make it a lot easier to make things just easy to config without unlinking and copying the script from the package, and having to then go add and remove all this stuff. Instead, packages would become more of a used thing, and give devs the ability to finish games that use similar resources a lot better, working in roblox and developer favor.
