How to Build Your First Machinebulb Chain with the Chipalyzer

Feed the Chipalyzer

Place a Chipalyzer and supply it with a Chipalyzer Bulb. The Chipalyzer is the entry point for chip production and uses the planttech2:chipalyzer recipe type. Insert a Blank Upgrade Chip plus the relevant Particles to produce a finished chip. For example, combine Blank Upgrade Chip with the matching Particles to create Armor Chip v1.0, Attack Chip v1.0, Attack Speed Chip v1.0, Breakdown Rate Chip v1.0, or Capacity Chip v1.0.

Expand into Higher Tiers

Once v1.0 chips exist, the Chipalyzer also handles the upgrade path to v2.0 and v3.0 variants such as Armor Chip v2.0, Armor Chip v3.0, Attack Chip v2.0, Attack Chip v3.0, Attack Speed Chip v2.0, Attack Speed Chip v3.0, Breakdown Rate Chip v2.0, Breakdown Rate Chip v3.0, Capacity Chip v2.0, and Capacity Chip v3.0. Keep a stock of Blank Upgrade Chip on hand because every tier consumes one.

Route Power and Output

Connect the Chipalyzer to your power network with Cable and confirm the Chipalyzer Bulb is lit. Use the Advanced Analyzer or Analyzer to inspect chips before installing them. Specialized chips like Aqua Affinity Chip, Bane of Arthropods Chip, and Blast Protection Chip also come out of the Chipalyzer, so plan a chest or drawer system to sort them by tier.
