Why doesn’t Restraint stack when Doc’s other add ons do?

So Doc’s Calm, Discipline, Electrodes, and Order add ons can be stacked, but stacking Restraint doesn’t do anything.

Would stacking Carters Notes & Class 3 for 5 seconds of aura reveal be that OP? Just can’t see why Restraint can’t stack.

    I never knew that Restraint couldn't stack with itself. Odd.

    I think it's because the addons aren't increasing a base aura reading duration, it's adding aura reading for x seconds. So it's not adding values, it's just setting them. At least it does pick the highest value to use.

    Restraint doesn't stack because...Idk they never made the code that's required for it to stack, it simply overrides each other. There's only one combination of things that could theoretically stack aura duration anyway and that's restraint.

    The descriptions don't openly state they don't stack. So, unless the devs have confirmed it's intended, then it's possibly simply a bug.
