Machine modification points +3

[Alxndr]

There's a technology that comes up whenever I start as a machine empire called improved servomotors. The actual name for normal bio empires is powered exoskeletons.

This tech leads to something called machine template system, which unlocks something called robomodding. Then machine template system leads to binary motivators which says it gives +3 machine modification points.

What are modification points? Are they trait points? So when I create a new machine template species, I'll have 3 extra trait points to spend?

Yes.

You get more points but are still limited in number of traits. So if you already have the maximum number you can either swap out some for more expensive ones, or remove negative cost ones.
