Protosynthesis and Quark drive aren't working for me, I even debugged a booster energy and the ability still wont activate. It didn't activate in any of the paradox battles and when I caught the paradox mons it wouldn't activate in trainer battles and wild encounters either. (That being said I have only tested using great tusk and it might work with other mons)
If I had to guess it would probably due to one of the mods I have, namely:
Waynolt and Aironfaar's modpacks
Ash gren mod
Pyrolusitium UI
Edit: I removed all the mods and the Protosynthesis ability worked
Edit 2: It seems that the mod causing the problem was one named "AMB - Misc_FabulousTransformation.rb". I tested with and without this mod and both Protosynthesis and Quark Drive work and booster energy works as well without that one mod.
On a side note where is the location of the ruin quartet? It says paradox event on the spreadsheet but I can't find em. I just recently beat e4 so I'm guessing its probably at a later postgame stage but if anyone knows pls lmk.
