How to use the augment combiner
This article should help you understand how to use the augment combiner, if you have a questions leave a comment and hopefully steam notifies me of your reply,

If I don't respond to your questions leave a comment on the mod's page. I always get a notification for those.

The combining process

In an attempt to increase stability and enforce a minimum standard of balance, there are 3 rules that applies to the combining process:
  1. Combining 2 lower level augments does not result in a higher level augment.
  2. Higher level augments always take priority over lower level augment.
  3. When combining 2 augment containers (EPPs, capture pod, armors), The resulting will always be the item stored on the right. (The item in the left slot will be returned to the player)

Here are a few examples of the combining process
(Damage1) + (Damage1) = (Damage1) (Damage1) + (Damage2) = (Damage2) (Damage2 & Health2) + (Regen1 & Health2) = (Damage2 & Health2 & Regen1)

The extraction process
To begin the extraction process place a combined augment/collar, or an item combining an augment/collar (eg: EPP, capture pod, armor). The augment/collar applied to an item doesn't need to be a combined augment, it can also extract regular augments.

From there you have 3 options:
  1. Extract Installed: If you placed an item that has an augment/collar, you can use this button to take the augment that in currently applied to that item.
  2. Extract All: If an item contains a combined augment/collar, you will receive all the augments/collars that make up the combined augment/collar.
  3. Extract Selected: If an item contains a combined augment/collar, it will extract the augment/collar selected in the list at the bottom of the window.

What is the item ID for the combiner?

I was browsing through your scripts and saw a bunch of unit test results in the augment combiner interface script; did you manually do these tests or did you use a test suite for this?

If you used a test suite, would it be alright if you share it?

those are a checklist i run though manually before i release a new update, there is no automated tests.
