Fire Electronics changes electronic manufacturing to 3 new recipe steps. First, you must manufacture chips out of Silicon Wafers, Copper, and Sulfuric Acid. Second, you need to bin the chips to determine their capability. Third, you need to set the chips into a board for use as full Circuits.

There are 3 different tiers of chips you make. Higher tier chips don't take more material, but they do take a lot longer. Setting the chips into circuit boards is more expensive for higher tier chips.

Basic Circuits still have the default vanilla recipe available, so you don't get stuck. But manufacturing them through this process is more efficient, somewhat reminiscent of better techniques.

Binning chips has a chance to find out they are duds, or 1 tier lower. Duds can be recycled to get 80% of the materials that were used to make them back. You can also intentionally bin a chip lower, if you need some more lower tier chips, and have extra high tier chips, including turning tier 1 chips into duds for recycling.

It works with Silicon Wafers from either brevven's Silica & Silicon, or from Bob's. This mod does not add silicon on it's own.

For the future, I may add alternative materials to the Wafers, or Copper (Real Life alternatives), depending on how well the mod does, and if I want them :)
