Chips disappearing from motherboards.

[Snipeyguy]

How is this still a thing, I had a perfect motherboard for unleashing oneshot kills.....Suddenly I´m missing at least 2 chips and now the board is ruined. I was hoping this issue wasn´t around anymore but it seems to be quite common still.

How you mean the bord is ruind??

Were you trying to install chips on a second motherboard to use as a back-up when this happened? When I tried that (before the update) it sometimes seemed as if the game would take some of the chips from my main motherboard as I tried to equip the second one. Hasn't been a problem since the update - on NG+ I now have three fully kitted out PCBs that I can switch between.

Merging some useless ones for another PCB, then I noticed my main PCB was missing at least 2 chips after the merge, doesn´t really make sense to lose chips like that. I only merge the ones I´m not using, but still this problem keeps happening with my main PCB.

Edit: It ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ happened again, I was trying to make a full auto PCB suitable for my liking, suddenly my earlier PCB lost 3 chips, for no damn reason at all. Just about done with merging.....it´s so botched and broken....

That's because when you're merging chips, it shows you chips that are unused by your current board, so you merged chips that were used elsewhere. It actually makes sense, because you can use the same chip in multiple boards, so when you switch boards, they don't actually stay inserted on the old board, the game reinserts them for you on the fly.

Then why some PCB´s don´t show the same chips that I´ve inserted for an earlier one. Right now I´m using Board 6.1, tried to change it to 6.2, merged some unused chips which were not on the 6.1 list, I switch back to 6.1 and somehow I´m missing 3 chips from the board itself, not from the unused list. 6.2 list wasn´t even showing the ones I´m currently using.

Edit: actually noticed it now, chips are infact moved to the next board if you switch them.....Though losing some chips that I didn´t even merge.....Is a bit ridiculous.

I'm actually fine with the game auto-moving chips for me, I just wish it was documented somewhere. As for the merging system, I stopped using once I noticed the result was random, which was pretty much right away.

Yep, I´m playing on hard now and that 6.1 board totally slaps anyones faces, even ED-209 went down really fast, Piercer, Laser Focus, Doom Doom Rounds and Single Shot Mode. Most likely won´t switch to any other board now.

So this is easy. The way it works is that when you switch to another board, the chips don't "stay" on the old board, they actually get moved outside to the shared pool. If you merge those chips, then when you switch back, they'll be gone.

It's working as intended, just a little opaque the way they do it.

Literally this.... IDK how some people are that blind that they can't notice something so basic, even if the game really SHOULD tell you that.

Well, it is actually easy to spot when you get the second board. You automatically see that chips are removed when you change board. Why should game explain obvious?
