Chips
Chips are the primary gating mechanism for machines. Higher-tier machines require higher-tier chips, and each chip tier requires the previous tier as an ingredient.
All chip recipes are crafted at the UC Workbench. The Infuser provides alternative automated recipes for all tiers.
Chip Tier Ladder
chip (base)
Pattern: _ S _ / S R S / _ S _ (S=steel_ingot, R=redstone)






basic_chip
Pattern: R G R / G C G / R G R (G=gold_ingot, C=chip, R=redstone)










advanced_chip
Pattern: R E R / E C E / R E R (E=energized_iron_ingot, C=basic_chip, R=redstone)
Requires energized iron — get it from ore trees or the infuser.










expert_chip
Pattern: R D R / D C D / R D R (D=diamond, C=advanced_chip, R=redstone)










ultimate_chip
Pattern: R N R / N C N / R N R (N=netherite_ingot, C=expert_chip, R=redstone)










Infuser Chip Recipes (alternative)
The Infuser can produce chips automatically once powered. See the Infuser page for the full recipe table.
