Alright, I've re-read the original Developers Post about Mods 2.0, and to avoid confusion in my own posts, it is the other way. I just viewed the old way as basic. So I've reposted my two longer post with everything corrected.
There are two different uses for the red dot depending on the Mod "Mode" you are in:
Advanced - red dot means you have the slicing materials, credits, and Gear level necessary to slice that particular mod.
Basic - 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 advanced/old 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 basic/new 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.
