Microchips are equipable items that provide additional capabilities to the player.

Creation of Microchips is done at T1 Craft Station and/or T2 Craft Station, although the T1 may only craft the simplest chips.

Each Microchip takes an additional equipment slot, and can improve (de)construction, navigation, mining speed, and/or grant the ability to toggle a torch. Use of an Exoskeletons is required to increase equipment capacity.
