No Instability for Clan Molder's (Throt) Flesh Lab UPDATED FOR 7.2.0

There are mods that do this, but none are updated or stable (pun intended) for 7. 2. 0. This works on 7. 2. 0.

It allows you to add all the augments to the eligible infantry and monsters, if you so choose. The instability debuff is never applied.

BE AWARE

Only thing I can say that makes this type of mod kinda "meh" is early game when mutagen is scarce and multiple stacks of instability lowers the cost of augments. This mod makes all augments cost the full amount of mutagen (25 for all of them except the 3 "epic" augments which are 50).

In terms of the UI, since I noted other mods didn't address the UI being inconsistent, there is a "percentage" below each unit card telling you the chance of getting the instability debuff, but even if it says something like 180%, you still will not get it. If looking at the unit card's literal applied buffs and debuffs, it will show all applied augments correctly and it will correctly not show the instability debuff. The unit also correctly does not have the instability debuff in battles. The percentage thing on the card requires editing the UI instead of the logic and I literally didn't care. It's not that it can't be done, I just didn't care since this mod was originally for just me. I made it out of anger that everyone else's' was outdated, as usual. You know, the reason I make all my mods.

Idk if it's save game friendly. I'm sure it is, but any instability gained in a save prior to this mod's installation will still be there. It just removes the chance post install. When you start a new campaign, Throt will have a Wolf Rat unit with instability already applied on it. This does not mean the mod doesn't work. That unit is designed to already have it as a way to teach the player about the mechanic.

If anyone wants to tinker with this mod's code or make one yourself, the game file that's being edited is called wh2_dlc16_flesh_lab.lua and that script handles ALL of that faction's game mechanics. The devs have kindly wrote in that scripts code some notes next to the functions explaining what they do. Without getting super technical, the instability debuff is a random chance or roll when adding augments and I changed it to a zero. The functions I messed with are on lines 363 and 406 of the script's code. Specifically, the "if cm:model():random_percent(50) then " & " if cm:model():random_percent(chance) then" lines wherein I made the "50" and "chance" just "0". This makes the roll for the instability always land on "don't add the instability debuff," allowing you to stack all the augments on a unit. I found some of them are not good when paired together, such as one that removes all armor and one that adds a little armor. Adding armor would be a waste if another augment removes all of it, but this is more of player choice and strategy thing.

Changing the "50" and "chance" to "0" is literally all I did. The devs' notes make the script not too difficult to understand, so feel free to tinker.
