Modded and following installing

By malkavianprank, in Android: Netrunner Rules Questions

just need a clarification

So like i read modded its like I play Modded for one click and than i have to install a card for reduced credits but still have to pay the click for the following cards.

So playing modded than Magnus Opum costs 2 credits and 2 clicks … the install order of the card just makes clear u cant play 2 modded for one card.

And other cards like Rabbit hole i have to pay for every Rabbit hole one click.

other people say the following install is for a free click and i rly dont get why it should be.

the only card i know that ignore the clicks is the shipment card of HB.

Modded is using the click and discounting what you install by doing it. Modded is the event that you spent the click for and it is not completed until you have installed the discounted program or hardware. So 1 click for Modded and then play something for 3 less, then move on to your next action using another click.

By the way, the same principle applies to events that tell you to make a run. You do not play an event such as The Maker's Eye by spending one click, then spending another to make the run the event tells you to do. The event card initiates the run for you, so you do not spend an extra click, only the click to play The Maker's Eye.
