Chipsets

Chipsets are special modifications found on Talos I during Prey (2017) and the Pytheas simulation during Prey: Mooncrash.

Overview
In Prey (2017), chipsets are devices that modify Morgan's TranStar uniform or Psychoscope and serve various functions. Morgan only has a set number of slots to fill with chipsets for his/her body or mind, and more slots can be unlocked through the suit modification and psychotronics neuromod abilities, respectively. You will still have to prioritize which ones you think are more valuable than others. On top of this, chipsets are randomized on each iteration, meaning that no one chip will be in the same location for two players. It is possible to acquire the same chip multiple times, though this is probably not intended since multiple copies of the same chip cannot be equipped in the same chipset. In Mooncrash, acquiring chipsets that are already on your current character will add Sim Points to spend prior to entering the simulation in future attempts. Chipsets in Peter's simulations cannot be retrieved from fallen player characters' corpses or phantoms.

Suit Chipsets
Most of these are essentially upgrades to Morgan's TranStar suit or non-psychotronic equipment, or physiological enhancements.

Psychoscope Chipsets
For the most part, chipsets connected to Morgan's psychoscope facilitate aiming, detecting, or scanning with it, or alter the ways their Psi pool gains or loses points, or directly improve the efficacy of their skills or Typhon powers.
