Hexagon with a dot in it on Mods

[jcwolves]

Okay, 
I have a ton of pictures to add to this.  I'm on PC. 

Basically some mods are stacking separately from others.  They have this icon (see below).  There is only one per mod.  They can be any polarity, any cost, and are otherwise identical to the original mod.  

If I choose a mod with the icon to transmute, it will automatically change it with another regular mod if I have the same mod without the icon.  It acts like a regular mod - I can transmute it and it doesn't have the icon after.  It also leaves the regular one so that I can select it and add it to the transmutation. 

Look at the pictures, they explain better than I do.

The actual icon

They are identical

So if i try to transmute ^ it will appear as this one ^ in the transmutation window, and I can transmute this one into it.

Anyone know what this icon is/means?

I think that symbol means you got that mod equipped on something (frame/weapon)

Wow.  I can't believe I missed that.  I literally asked like 10 or so people and no one could figure it out.  That makes sense.  Thanks a ton.

Appreciate the cigarrette XD and yeah actually knowing that is really good, it help you to recognize the mods you can use on every weapon and the mods you can't trade or transmute because of going again to each weapon and see what weapon is missing the mod or so.

yeah, it's neat that it shows that a Mod is Equipped on something, though...

- in the previous Mod System, the icon that denoted this also had a Tooltip that shows all things the Mod is Equipped on.
- the hexagon thing doesn't show when putting Mods on Equipment, which is the only time you'd actually really need to see it.

Not really, i had have a bad time when trading one of the mods i got equipped, getting back to each frame or weapon where that mod could be and start looking for the missing mod on my builds
