Augmentation Manufacturers

Source Starfinder #29: The Cradle Infestation pg. 51
When first acquired, no augmentation can have more than one manufacturer’s modification. However, many genetic engineers and hospitals offer options to customize existing augmentations. It is also possible to combine modifications by crafting an augmentation yourself. If you combine manufacturer modifications in any way, the final price of the item is equal to the normal price plus an additional 10% plus the cost of the modifications. The GM is the final arbiter of whether a modification can be applied to an augmentation, as well as what modifications can or can’t can be combined.


Life Innovations

Source Starfinder #29: The Cradle Infestation pg. 52
Life Innovations is one of the largest and most successful biotechnology companies in known space. Although it has a dizzying array of offerings, it is best known for morphing augmentations that can adopt the appearance of ordinary organs. A Life Innovations biotech augmentation has two forms—a standard form and a secondary form that appears to be a normal, unaugmented system. You can switch between the two forms as a move action. While the augmentation has the form of an unaugmented system, it cannot be used, and none of its benefits apply. It can be identified as an augmentation only with a successful Perception or Life Science check (DC = 15 + 1-1/2 times item level) or by magic (such as detect augmentation). This kind of Life Innovations biotech augmentation costs 10% more than usual.
This augmentation modification can be used only on biotech or biologically-based magitech.
