A single signal chip will be dropped by a hostile [[diabolus]] upon death, regardless of whether the diabolus is summoned by the [[comms console]] or spawned naturally as part of a [[raid]]. It is not relevant who kills the diabolus - a diabolus killed by other factions, wild animals, or berserk mechanoids still drop the signal chip. Player controlled diaboli will not drop a signal chip.
+
A signal chip can be obtained by defeating a hostile [[Diabolus]].

Signal chips are used to create various mechanitor items, and studying one at a [[research bench]] is required to research [[Research#Standard mechtech|Standard Mechtech]]. The chip is not consumed in the process of studying it.

Signal chips are the main reason to call in and fight a diabolus. Standard Mechtech gives access to a variety of mechs ([[pikeman]], [[scyther]], [[scorcher]], [[tunneler]]), and a few mechanitor items.  
+
[[Bandwidth pack]]s are the priority for their use.
  
−
Once you have studied a signal chip, [[bandwidth pack]]s are often the most helpful use of signal chips. For {{Required Resources|Bandwidth pack}}, this item gives {{+|9}} [[bandwidth]] and never [[deteriorate|degrades]], nor can it shut down like a [[band node]]. Compared to other signal chip items:

[[Powerfocus chip]], a similar resource dropped by [[War queen]]s.

* The [[mechcommander helmet]] gives {{+|6}} bandwidth for 1 signal chip. However, the [[array headset]] also gives {{+|6}} bandwidth and occupies the head slot. The advantage of the mechcommander helmet is that it gives the protection of a [[flak helmet]] while also giving bandwidth. For mechanitors hiding in the backlines, this helmet doesn't see too much use.
+
[[Nano structuring chip]], a similar resource dropped by [[Apocritron]]s.
−
* [[Control sublink (standard)|Standard control sublink]]s give {{+|6%}} [[Global Work Speed]] to all labor mechs, for 1 signal chip. The bandwidth pack can give up to 9 ''more'' labor mechs, which usually results in more productivity; basic mechs aren't very expensive. Once you have bandwidth packs on all available mechanitors, further signal chips can be used to make control sublinks. You can install up to 3 ''standard'' sublinks per mechanitor, with ''high'' sublinks instead using [[powerfocus chip]]s.
 
−
* You can gestate a friendly [[diabolus]] using 2 signal chips and some other resources. Diaboli can be very powerful as allies, but are expensive for both materials and bandwidth. They also require [[Research#High Mechtech|High Mechtech]] to create.

In the lategame/endgame, diaboli can be summoned and farmed for their [[steel]]. Any excess signal chips can be sold to [[trader|exotic goods traders]].
