[1.3.1] Transcendet Telekinesis + Kinetic Shield Not Working

Transcendet Telekinesis says "Your Kinetic Shield will have 100% absorbtion efficency" but that is not true at all, in fact, using Transcendet Telekinesis doesn't change the absobtion efficency at all which makes it way worse :(

well, it can only absorb so much damage from a hit.
if your shield already was absorbing its max flat value, increasing the max% wont do much.

can you explain more, or provide screen shots or anything?

Just did ;) My normal max on that shield is 50 so it should be 100 after using Transcendet Telekinesis

this screen shot shows after, but not before. if we don't know the base value we cannot determine whether it is double or not.
also, you said that your max flat should be 50, and when doubled 100, but the numbers are way too small to prove that your flat is not doubled.

what we can see however, is that you absorb only 50% of the damage, while it is supposed to be 100%.
unless the "will have 100% absorption efficiency" that was written on the wiki meant something else, like how much damage is converted to psi...

Can confirm that when the code was compacted an error was introduced that stops the 100% efficiency applying for all Transcendent effects.

Is this already fixed in master? Someone posted an addon fix (although I haven't looked at it myself): http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=44908
