As of the new public testing branch, duplicants will only make a new microchip if there exists a building in the power plant without a microchip on it. This means that due to the increased power plant usage time, there is a significant window in which there is no microchip on the generator, which kind of sucks a bit, but mostly I thought to report because the way this feature works means that there is no purpose to the storage bin being able to hold microchips, since there is no way to ever have excess, which i would otherwise think to be an intended possible, thing, to do.
To my memory, previous behavior for the power control station involved duplicants constantly attempting to maintain an excess of ~5 microchips per generator.
1. create a power plant room
2. watch a duplicant only create as many microchips as is needed to upgrade the buildings
3. they will not manufacture more
