Transformation Chip
The Transformation Chip sets an Ala Industrial Incubator to transform mode, swapping one item for an equal-worth one at a 75% success rate.
Description
The Transformation Chip is crafted on a crafting table from an empty chip flanked by redstone and lapis lazuli, with a uranium plate at the base — a deliberate gate, because the plate demands the nuclear branch (uranium ore to ingot to plate) before mutations unlock. The chip occupies the Incubator's top-left slot; without any chip the machine will not start. Swapping the chip mid-run resets the current attempt, so change modes between runs. Hoppers and pipes can push a chip into the slot but cannot pull it back out, so the installed mode is a build-time choice. Each uranium ingot fueling the Incubator buys three attempts before burning out into depleted uranium. The Transformation Chip is built for Minecraft 26.2 on Fabric or NeoForge.

Incubator Guide
How to use the Transformation Chip in an Ala Industrial Incubator
-
1
Craft the chip
On a crafting table, place an empty chip in the center, redstone to its left and lapis lazuli to its right, then a uranium plate below. The uranium plate gates the recipe behind the nuclear branch, so process uranium ore into a plate first.
-
2
Install it in the Incubator
Place the Transformation Chip in the Incubator's top-left chip slot. The machine runs only with a chip installed, and this one sets it to transform mode for equal-worth trades.
-
3
Fuel with uranium and supply EU
Put a uranium ingot in the fuel slot — one ingot funds three attempts — and feed the Incubator from an LV network. A transform cycle costs 2400 EU over 300 ticks, 15 seconds, at 8 EU per tick.
-
4
Run an equal-worth trade
Place an input item that has a transform recipe, such as lapis lazuli or a sapling, in the input slot. On the 75% success chance you receive the paired item; on failure the input is lost and one charge is spent.
Swapping the chip mid-cycle resets the current attempt, so change modes only between runs. Hoppers can push a chip in but never pull it back out, and the chip itself is never consumed.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Transformation Chip consumed when used?
No. The Transformation Chip is never consumed — it only sets the Incubator to transform mode. What gets spent is EU and uranium fuel, so one chip works forever.
What does transform mode do in the Incubator?
It trades one input item for a different but equal-worth one, such as lapis lazuli for redstone or one sapling for another. Every transform recipe has a 75% success chance and costs 2400 EU over 15 seconds.
How do you craft the Transformation Chip?
Place an empty chip in the center of a crafting table, redstone on the left and lapis lazuli on the right, with a uranium plate at the bottom. The uranium plate means the nuclear branch must be unlocked first.
What happens when a transform attempt fails?
The input item is lost and one irradiation charge is spent. Each uranium ingot funds only three attempts before burning out into depleted uranium, so failures still cost fuel.
Can a hopper remove the Transformation Chip from the Incubator?
No. The chip slot allows items to be pushed in but not pulled out, so automation cannot yank the chip mid-operation. Removing or swapping it is a manual choice.
