Some chips add modifiers and change balance at the start, some just affect difficulty - choose one for yourself! One chip even modifies manipulation so that the most exhausted humans are sent to the bioreactor - many of you asked for this. Other changes:
addedSeveral new dialogs and modifiers added
changedAny choices in dialogs that you previously tried are marked with an orange dot
addedA new achievement for finishing the campaign with "Hardcore" chip
changedHolding a human manipulation button allows to send several humans at once
