The defect

Every modded specialized upgrade applies a -50% reduction, where the base game equivalents apply -25%. Octavian posted five screenshots comparing them.

What the thread established

Kai confirmed the fix and its size: "It's an easy fix, just a number in a file to change from 50 to 25."

Kai also named the blocker, which is scheduling rather than difficulty: "Idk when I'm gonna be able to deploy the fix - mod changes create a kind of stress that I'm trying to avoid this week in particular."

Octavian flagged the economic consequence and accepted it: shops are currently priced off the -50% figure for biochem, so correcting the number forces a re-pricing pass on affected sellers.

Open question

Whether this can safely be changed mid-cycle at all, or whether it should ride along with the cycle 15 turnover. Octavian raised this directly and it was not resolved in the thread.

Overlaps the level 3 perk problem reported at https://discord.com/channels/1300204416229441587/1524518998312489171, where Theo found that mod benches do not honor the same upgrade percentages as vanilla benches.
