Technology Modifications

Technologies can modify the stats and properties of game entities, using the modifications list of a given technology template. The modifications have unique names of the form "Component/Element/Subelement", where "Component" is the exact name of a simulation component and "Element/Subelement" come from that component's ​entity schema.

For example to modify a unit's melee hack attack, you would use "Attack/Melee/Damage/Hack" as the modification value. Note: In order for this to work, the component scripts must be updated to support each possible value. The following table lists the planned and currently supported modifications.
