GM/BH Reproduction steps

.item 176065 176065 154
Target yourself and do .get npcostmodifier
Be Title level 4 with 464 psychic and 1005 treatment
trigger implant surgery clinic
Equip waist implant
Target yourself and do .get npcostmodifier
Notice no change in npcostmodifier (should be an additional 2 here.

Normal person steps:

Loot a ql 154 waist implant (got it from half-digested torso) with:
Faded: Imp/Proj AC
Bright: Max Nano
Shiny: Nano Cost Execution Percentage

Expected results

To see effects of cluster on implant description

Actual results

Shiny slot is blank

Once

Description & Attachments

I am unable to easily test if the implant actually gives -% Nano cost reduction as I currently have a waist symbiant in that I had to "twink" on. Could just be a visual bug.

This can happen for other clusters too like skill lock modifier. I believe a similar implant on live would have "Nano Cost Modifier 0%" on its modifier list. But this wouldn't actually do anything but visually tell the player that a shiny cluster is already inserted into the implant

We can look into this further if you have a screenshot of a similar implant on live

I've ran into this several times on PRK, but it seems like it is just replicating the behaviour on live. Basically this happens when the implant QL is too low to bestow any positive stat effect on the implant. For example in this case, if you were to search up the item on auno or aosetups, you'll see that a QL 154 waist gives 0% add nano cost https://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=179303&ql=154 This can happen for other clusters too like skill lock modifier.

Yea this very well could be a bug inherited from live, here is some data on clusters themselves

Faded:

Bright:

Shiny:

Clearly something not quite right. When I get time later ill test if the stats actually change.

The output when wearing the implant vs without the implant... is shown below (duped char to not disrupt you, @boxcar87 ).

(00:27) I am not Deep (10533)
    npcostmodifier 	0

(00:27) .get succeeded - I am not Deep (10533) npcostmodifier is -11 (0 base + -11 mod + 0 trickle + 0 custom).
(00:27) I am not Deep (10533)

(00:27) .get succeeded - I am not Deep (10533) npcostmodifier is -11 (0 base + -11 mod + 0 trickle + 0 custom).

I agree with you that this item isn't behaving as expected.
