Red dot in the mod set

There are two different uses for the red dot depending on the Mod "Mode" you are in:

Basic - red dot means you have the slicing materials, credits, and Gear level necessary to slice that particular mod.

Advanced - red dot means the game is recommending a different mod for that position based on its own parameters.

If you aren't seeing red dots everywhere even though you have slicing materials:

1 - it's not a 5-dot mod, only 5-dot can be sliced
2 - the mod isn't level 15, only level 15 can be sliced
3 - the character isn't G12 and you're trying to slice to 6E
4 - you don't have enough credits to pay for the slice
5 - you're in the wrong mode

As an example:

Here's my Kylo in basic mode - no red dots. However; I have all the slicing material necessary to go to 6E on any of the gold mods. But don't have 200k credits.


Here's the same Kylo in advanced mode - bunch of red dots. However; I'm running the sets the game recommends - Offence x4, Tenacity x2. It just wants different primaries and secondaries. No thanks.
