The remaining inputs appear to be designed to accept {{infoicon\|Copper}}, {{infoicon\|Plastic}}, {{infoicon\|Gold}}, {{infoicon\|Acid}}, and {{infoicon\|Water}}. This means that the main output is used for both intermediate stages and completed Microchips.		It has four [[Flat Conveyor]] inputs, two [[Pipe]] inputs, and one Flat Conveyor output.<ref name="Microchip machine layout"/> The lateral Flat Conveyor input is for {{infoicon\|MonoWafer\|text=Silicon Wafer\|link=Silicon Wafer\|new=yes}} and intermediate Microchips stages. The remaining inputs appear to be designed to accept {{infoicon\|Copper}}, {{infoicon\|Plastic}}, {{infoicon\|Gold}}, {{infoicon\|Acid}}, and {{infoicon\|Water}}. This means that the main output is used for both intermediate stages and completed Microchips.

	The Microchip Machine is the first machine unlocked which heavily incentivizes the application of [[Wikipedia:Conveyor belt sushi\|sushi belts]] (a belt that transports more than one type of item) to allow the machine to re-process its own intermediate outputs. This type of belt system would greatly reduce the number of machines required versus building an array of separate machines for each recipe in the production chain. The [[Flat Sorter]] is especially useful for this.
