An edit takes 20 work and succeeds 95% of the time; each point of the seed's effective complexity adds 4 work and takes 5% off, never below 5%.
A successful install uses one charge of the disk. Without a Genetic Stabilizer Module, extraction destroys the seed, even when it fails.
After each operation the disk moves to the 2 x 2 output tray.

The seed survives extraction and loses one rank of that trait. Performance -50%, Efficiency -25%.
Random extraction only picks positive traits. Efficiency -25%.
Random extraction only picks negative traits. Efficiency -25%.
Use it on a written disk to store that trait; installed, it extracts only that trait. Performance -75%, Efficiency -75%.
A Module Bay Expansion Kit opens a bigger module bay (up to 2 kits, +100 Credits value each).
Turbo boosters give it one extra night of work.
