Microchips

*This article is about Multi-Tool microchips. For the item used to unlock blueprints, see Blueprint microchip.*

**Microchips** are equipable items that provide additional capabilities to the player. They are able to be crafted in the Craft Station T1 and  Craft Station T2.

Each Microchip takes an additional equipment slot, and can improve building/deconstruction, navigation, mining speed, and the ability to toggle a torch on your multi-tool. Exoskeletons can be used to increase equipment capacity if required.
