Unit storage has no Microchips option although microchips are produced

Works as intended

Describe the issue
None of the unit storage buildings have an option for storing "Microchips Stage NN"

Expected behavior
There was the option to store "Microchips stage NN" option a few hours ago before I had to restore a previous save but now they are gone even though i am producing them.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Load attached save no_microchip_storage
    2.Try to set a storage unit to accept microchip stage 1a and it does not have that option

Game breaking bug for me

I was able to get around not storing microchips by using a Flat Sorter and a Flat Balancer. On the output of the microchip machine put the Flat Sorter and sort for all the microchips. This will sort out the finished product to be able to store in a building while sending back in the unfinished microchips. On the Flat Balancer you have the silicon wafer input and then the microchip input. Put the microchip input on priority so anything incoming on that input will be put back into the microchip machine first. After that it should be self sustaining to produce microchips.

That is an interesting solution .. to the bug. I may look into that later.

This is working as intended. Storing every single microchip stage would just overwhelm storage UI. Also in real world these phases would be very light sensitive and would never get stored. There is also not much reason to store them it is better to loop them back for continuous production.
