Augmentation

Augmentations are modifiers that can be added to part or block before constructing it. Augmentations adds a more cost to the part/block which is usually a new resource that is not used to construct the original part or block.
== How to add an augmentation to a part/block ==
Almost all the augmentations need to be unlocked through the Tech-system just like new parts and blocks. When you discover an augmentation through the Research Facility (and you have the original part/block unlocked as well) you’ll be able to unlock and enable the augmentation through the info-box of that part/block.
When an augmentation is unlocked, it can be added to the a part/block before construction it through the info-box (look at the screenshot to the right). This will increase the resource cost and change the name of the part/block depending on the augmentations activated.
== List of Augmentations ==
A list of all the possible augmentations and the parts/block they can be created on:
Augmentations
Augmentation 	Unlock cost	Resource cost 	Parts/Blocks 	Effect
Barbed 	1 level 	+4 Manganese 	Grappler 	Adds steel barbs to the rotatable hook, allowing the hook to attach itself to enemies at the cost of Manganese
Colorize 	1 level 	+0.5 Azurite+0.5 Fuchsia+0.5 Larva Bile+0.5 Pheomelanin	Grappler 	Coat the part or block with a different color depending on the mixture of color resources
Damping 	1 level 	+0.5-1.5 Oil 	Piston 	Adds a damping effect to the Piston at the cost of Oil
Dispersal 	1 level 	+5 Nickel 	Drug Dispenser 	Adding Enzyme into the mixture, the effect of the Drug Dispenser will disperse in an area around it as long as it's fueled with enzyme
Driftwood 	1 level 	+0.5 Vaporized Aetherium 	Planks 	Infuse the Planlks with Vaporized Aetherium, making them lighter than air
Epinephrine 	1 level 	+5 Chromite 	Drug Dispenser 	Using Psilocybin instead of Protein, the Drug Dispenser will dispense a crafting speed buff, but remove its ability to restore health
Galvanize 	1 level 	+0.5-3.5 Zinc 	PlateCouplingCopper Wheel 48"Iron Wheel 48"Iron Wheel 84" 	Galvanize the part/block with Zinc, making it more durable against attacks and heavier, about 181% as heavy as the coupling was before (11 galvanized ≈ 20 ungalvanized).
Length 	1 level 	+1-7 Iron 	Piston 	Change the Piston length using more Iron
Phase Chaining	1 level 	+1 Aetherium 	Railgun 	Using Aetherium instead of rock, the Railguns projectile now causes the enemies to briefly go into a paralyzing phase state. Additionally, hitting a phased enemy will cause the projectile to chain to another nearby enemy
Pierce 	1 level 	+1 Manganese 	Ballista 	Using Manganese instead of wood, the Ballistas projectile now pierces through enemies and machinery.
Reinforce 	1 level 	+0.5-2 Iron 	PlanksDoorWooden Wheel 24"Wooden Wheel 36" 	Reinforcing the part/block with Iron, making it more durable against attacks.
Shotgun 	1 level 	+1 Lead 	Cannon 	Using Lead instead of Iron, the Cannon fires 6 smaller pellets in a cone in front of it.
Speed 	1 level 	+4 Nickel 	Grappler 	Increases the movement speed of the rotatable hook at the cost of Nickel
Springiness 	1 level 	+3-9 Chromite 	Piston 	Add a springiness to the Piston at the cost of Chromite
Stickiness 	1 level 	+1-5 Slime 	Wooden Wheel 24"Wooden Wheel 36"Copper Wheel 48"Iron Wheel 48"Iron Wheel 84"	Coats the Wheel in Slime, making it stick to any terrain it touches
Telescopic Arm	1 level 	+1 Nickel 	Piston 	Doubles the length of the Pistons arm at the cost of Nickel
