“This chip appears to be for some sort of large industrial machine. Beneath the dirt and dust, it appears to be in surprisingly good shape.”
The excavator chip is a quest item in Fallout 2.
Background
This chip is the brains behind a constant-flow ore extractor - an industrial mining machine. The chips tend to go bad due to the high vibration of the machines that they're installed on and the dusty environment.
Characteristics
A chip used for digging purposes that looks similar to the water chip.
Locations
Two can be found in Redding tunnels; one in the machine and one near the machine (on the right, near another machinery)
