If Venari has Synth Fiber does the armor also apply to my other companion?

[-Dangle-]

If Venari has Synth Fiber does the armor also apply to my other companion? Also if both companions have Synth Fiber does the armor stack? I don't know how i could test this.

Venari is a Kavat, an Exalted Kavat, not a sentinel. The Synth set can only be equipped to Sentinels and I think robotic companions. Synth Fiber only applies to the Sentinel.

She can only use the Hunter and Tek sets of mods.

Venari can use the Synth mods.

Actually, Synth mods are classified as Companion mod, not sentinel or robotic. Any companion can use it.

On PC right now... the Synth Mods have switched from Sentinel to Companion.... meaning Kavats and Kubrows can use them for now....

I posted in the bug report, feedback and Update sections of the Forums trying to find out if this was intentional.... and a few weeks later.... no response.... soooo.... yeah.... thats an issue...

As for OP's question....

Well its hard to know if they stack since the weren't designed for Kavats in the first place...

Somebody is going to have to test them....

Well, my desktop is currently occupied, so keep me posted if any of you do any testing

The answer to the question seems to be "yes", it does apply to your equipped beast companion. Currently waiting for replies on whether it passes onto sentinels as well.
However, the mod itself is a synth mod and not intended to be used on non-robotic companions, even the ability kind. An overlook, nothing more. Would expect it to be remedied in one of the coming hotfixes.

Moas, they can also equip the Synth mod set, right? I haven't made any Moas yet.

So! Update. Since my personal testing was done quite a few updates ago, and the issue was still somewhat of a curiosity, I have bothered, smothered and otherwise annoyed made a request of @taiiat to do some testing. Here are the freshest of conclusions, made in the Simulacrum, on this date:
- All companions can equip the mod, it is now, despite its name, a global companion mod, rather than a robotic companion mod.
- When equipped on Venari, the effects do not pass onto other companions.
- Equipping the mod on two companions makes it work for both companions.
- Stacking the effect by being equipped on two companions (Venari being one) is not possible.
- Whether Venari is affected by the mod being active on another companion is not known
This has been done by checking whether the little effect symbol appears in the UI next to the companion hp indicator.
On the other hand, without having a way to read the fine stat changes in missions, there's no proper player-side confirmation on whether they actually change or not aside of that deep inner feeling that the companion is somehow sturdier than usual.
