   Usage: trigger <mod> [target]
 
-  Trigger a science mod. Combat mods target a mob and initiate
-  science-based combat. Utility mods act on items in your
-  inventory or on yourself.
+  Trigger a science mod. Module matching searches by partial name
+  (all words); if ambiguous, the highest-level module you can cast
+  is selected.
+
+  Combat mods behave differently depending on context:
+  - With a deck equipped: sets autotrigger and starts combat
+    (mod fires every round at deck speed)
+  - Without a deck: queues the mod as a one-shot for your next
+    attack, then combat continues as melee
+  - Already in combat without a deck: queues the mod for your
+    next attack round (only one can be queued at a time)
+
+  Utility/transport/enchant mods resolve immediately.
 
   Examples:
-    trigger bio strike goblin     - Attack with Bio Strike
-    trigger low process iron ore  - Convert iron ore to credits
-    trigger transport town        - Teleport to Town Square
-    trigger enchant 1 sapphire ring - Enchant a sapphire ring
-    trigger superheat copper ore  - Smelt copper without furnace
-    trigger em grab bones         - Pick up bones from the ground
+    trigger bio goblin          - Attack with highest castable
+                                  bio mod (Bio Strike at Lv1)
+    trigger strike goblin       - Pick highest castable Strike mod
+    trigger low process iron    - Convert iron ore to credits
+    trigger transport town      - Teleport to Town Square
+    trigger enchant 1 sapphire  - Enchant a sapphire ring
 
   All mods cost junk (and 1 scrap metal unless you have a deck
   equipped). Type 'mods' to see your available mods and costs.
