Sorry for such a late reply, mod-authors don't get pings/notifications of new discussions (yes we have to manually look for these things.. or I haven't learned how to set up auto-notifications, would be more accurate .. )

I'm trying to follow what has happened here:
Biotic Class Mod ...
Biotic Class RPGO Spec Plug-in ...
Shard Gauntlet Alternative for Semi-Biotics ??...

I feel you may be trying to mix too many things into one pot and hoping for a good outcome?

We're very close to release on a 3.1 update, which should correct some of this behaviour.. and we've already released a "GEM Infused Gauntlets" plug-in mod that might fix your issues, as we found so many things 'wrong' with trying to allow GEMs on gauntlets/templar shards that it needed a whole dedicated mod to fix/sort out.

If this is still an issue in the new year (2022) please let us know :)

thanks for the reply nonetheless. but to make things clear. i made a custom class character using RPGO thats meant to be a psionic class during the first invasion(the characters were two of the survivor in my successful campaign and have their own story but thats for another day) and their psionic power changed over the course of time and became biotic powers. what i want to achieve is to allow them to use both xcom psionics through psionics ex machina using their biotic amp. but as it turns out, putting gems in biotic amps doesnt show the psionic abilities but it still lets you use the biotic powers properly. to sorta fix this, i just let my two character use shard gauntlet in the mean time as their amp so they could use psi power and biotic power at the same time. problem is, certain biotic powers dont work without a biotic amp(an ADVENT amp or higher). so for the most part, what i have is a gimped biotic. i say that cause i also have a special TotalBiscuit character that has all 3 biotic specialization and sentinel and i have him use a real biotic amp and hes very powerful(as it should be).

Ok, so the main issue here is that the Biotic Amp wasn't allowing you to have GEM Abilities?

This is an issue most likely caused by the AbilityToSlotReassignment config.

I'm not 100% certain anymore what the workshop version is like, but I'm pretty sure I've fixed this issue in the soon to be released update. :)

if thats the case ill just wait and update my psionics ex machina into the soon more awesome version. just have to backup my damage configuration as im using a higher number configuration on my game(my soldier has a base HP of 100, and ADVENT troopers has base HP of 80. a crit and a shot from one of these troopers(they do 40 + 40 more on crit) and you got a dead soldier. anyways yeah. awesome work man.

@ArtanisKAI
Chasing follow-up to this.. did the 3.1 update fix these issues ?

oh hey dios. sorry for the late reply but some stuffs happened and i have to halt playing xcom 2 for a while. im planning on resetting my entire xcom 2 modlist anyways because after testing my high number play its not ready to be played yet, reason being that certain aspect of the game cant be touched, ie the pcs and the reaper claymore and the environmental damages doesnt truly match the high number of my game. im gonna try it soon but right now i cant. though nice work man.

Managed to do some in house testing on this finally.
Damages are fixed in this mod.
Animations for Biotic Amps are fixed if also using Psionic Implants plug in mod.

Closing and locking thread :)
