Slider Module
CaptureItemModifier2★Puts a hard slider spin on the sphere, bending its path at a sharp angle to catch Pals unaware while raising capture power.
Wearing it also carries the effects Sphere Slider, Capture Strength +3, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.
Details
It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot. At 68,350 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Slider Module
Slider Module is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
There is no schematic to hunt for this one — the recipe sits on the Technology tree at level 39 and costs 3 Technology points, so the only thing standing between you and it is your character level and the materials. Once researched, it can be assembled at the Sphere Workbench and at every bench above it in that line — Sphere Assembly Line, Sphere Assembly Line II and Advanced Sphere Assembly Line — as well as at the Ancient Workbench.
Using Slider Module Well
Slider Module is the second rung of the curve family, and the jump is paid in boss loot rather than research: Curve Module opens 16 levels earlier at level 23 for 2 Technology points and wants only 2 Ancient Civilization Parts, while Slider wants 10 alongside Carbon Fiber and Corrosive Solvent. Budget the parts before you spend the points, because the tree entry is the cheap half of the upgrade.
Nothing else changes a sphere's flight path between here and the Homing Module at level 69, which asks for 40 Ancient Civilization Parts and 5 Ancient Civilization Cores on top. Slider is therefore the trajectory module you live with for most of the back half of the tech tree — the level 48 Sniper Module II that unlocks in between is the range option, not a curve, so the two answer different problems rather than replacing each other.
What Slider Module Does
Slider Module grants Sphere Slider: Curve Type +8.
Slider Module grants Capture Strength +3: Capture Level +3.
