Microchips are a complex, late game item made in the Microchip Machine or its upgrade. While not being used for any buildings in themselves, they are an ingredient in making Electronics III, which in turn are used for many important late-game items such as Lab Equipment IV and Maintenance III
Microchips are notable for having a lengthy production chain of 12 intermediate products, beginning with Silicon Wafers and ending with Microchips Stage 4 B, which are used to craft microchips themselves. Each stage is built in the microchip machine using the preceding stage and a small amount of Water and Acid, Copper and Plastic, or Gold, in that order, and repeating for four full rotations, for a total of 12 stages.
Each stage operates at the same rate, consuming and producing 6 (or 18 for the Microchip Machine II) of each microchip stage, while consuming 2 (or 6) of the intermediate product(s) added. The final stage is especially efficient, producing 12 (or 36) microchips.
The twelve stages, along with the items needed to craft them, are:
| Stage | Item to Craft |
|---|---|
| Silicon Wafer | Water + Silicon |
| 1A | Water + Acid |
| 1B | Copper + Plastic |
| 1C | Gold |
| 2A | Water + Acid |
| 2B | Copper + Plastic |
| 2C | Gold |
| 3A | Water + Acid |
| 3B | Copper + Plastic |
| 3C | Gold |
| 4A | Water + Acid |
| 4B | Copper + Plastic |
| Microchip | Gold |
