Tyrnid 1+ saves

After reviewing the codex, everywhere that I find a reference to
extended carapace in the mutations section, it states a new armor save
for the mutant with extended carapace, not that extended carapace
gives a +1 save.

Example: a 'gaunt with extended carapace gets a 5+ save, not a +1
save to it's standard 6+ save.

A Hive Tyrant gets a 2+ save, not a +1 to it's standard 3+ save.

Now this may be splitting hairs, but to me it means that you can take
extended carapace for a 2+ save, or warp blast for a 2+ save, but they
do not combine for a 1+ save.

Extended Carapace is the Artificer/Chaos armor of the Tyrnids and it
gives them a +1 save over their natural armor, but doesn't combine
with a psychic ability. You can take both and get 2 2+ saves, but you
only get to use one at a time.

Does anyone else agree with this?

Because of this, I think the way extended carapace is defined needs to
be changed (or not allowed to be taken with Warp Field).

IIRC this is fixed in the latest version of the files.
