I salvaged very few of those, they give episode 42 core stuff? forgot the name. I think it is? haven't seen anything official about it unless I am blind. Red Five never puts those in notes which is a shame. Edit: I found the notes in testing feedback. No mention of that. Any Dev can reply on that?
The salvageable 42. mods are intended. The resulting cores are used as food to create your 42.4 mods. This is the new crafting method for the .4 mods.
