Reason: 1) General stub - missing details in every section, including infobox (e.g. type?) 2) Study time/xp/other details 3) Confirm that feral queens (player created ones gone uncontrolled) don't drop chips. 4) analysis re how players should prioritize usign the chips. |

Powerfocus chips are a resource added by the Biotech DLC.
Acquisition[edit]
A single powerfocus chip will be dropped by a hostile war queen upon death, regardless of whether the war queen is summoned by a mechband antenna or spawned naturally as part of a raid. It is not relevant who kills the war queen - a war queen killed by other factions, wild animals, or berserk mechanoids still drop the signal chip. Player controlled war queens will not drop a powerfocus chip.
Usage[edit]
Powerfocus chips are used to create various mechanitor items, and studying one at a research bench is required to research High mechtech. The chip is not consumed in the process of studying it.
They are used in the following crafting recipes:

Analysis[edit]
This chip has considerably low HP given the intensity of warfare often required to take down the queen mech, along with being flammable. It is thus recommended to immediately haul the chip back as soon as the drop takes place. In the event that combat is ongoing when the chip is dropped, the skip psycast
can be used to transport the chip out of harm's way without requiring a hauler run into combat.
