Allowed myself to get suckered into playing a bunch of this last night. Got slowed to a crawl in a spot that I don't remember being a sticking point before (and then closed the game to force myself to go to sleep cause I had allowed myself to stay up too late already).

Got to the point where I had a noticeable percentage of space explored (like 3-4 digits showing up in the percentage display) but I was just not going up on drones. (Drones cost paperclips, and while I had enough wire-makers and material gatherers and factories, I wasn't exploring enough space to keep up with demand even when I cranked exploration and speed up to like 7/7, It was only enough material to supply roughly self replication 2 or self replication 3

start with replication 12, hazards 8 or so. spam the button for a little while, then wait til your number gets into the millions, then start exploring.

Anyone beat the game without buying any AutoClippers?

this doesn't seem possible to me - as someone who tried for a while as i had a script to do the autoclicking for me

Beat it in about 4 hours of actual gameplay time, though I "cheated" and idled the game for like 8 hours during the day in the first phase after getting all the auto things built, came back to a ton of creativity, yomi, paperclips, and money in the stock market, to basically skip through that part.

Cool game though. Best idle game I've played-- well, probably because it's not really one.

oh right at this point you made too many drones. you only have the matter available on the earth and you need to get 5 oct clips from it. restart!

I have so many drones but they are not generating anything for some reason

they generate 0 wire or matter and buying more doesn't seem to have any effect on factory output

do you have enough matter available from exploring?

i got 70 memory with only 18 processing and i'm not able to progress, either. the only two things left to buy cost 25k creativity and 100 trust.

25k creativity doesn't take long if you leave stuff running when you have max ops

I think I'm screwed

all my probes have been wiped out by drifters. Every new probe I launch is immediately killed, and no matter how I allocate the stats, I can't win a single battle or form a self-sustaining colony

at first just focus on making a lot of probes. something like 12 proliferation and 8 hazard protection. then spam click the button. let this force build up to a good high number, then start tweaking their stats.

it seems that if you don't get enough memory to be able to store the 70k operations needed at one point you might hit a point you can't advance past.

more processors, and not spending your... i already forgot the name of the currency but the other thing your processors gives you. you only generate creativity when that one is full.

I feel like I'm sputtering around right now. I guess I need to focus on building yomi to increase my stock market levels to make the big bucks? Operations are stalling though and even with 3 photowhatever chips I still can't seem to go high enough over maximum for the next upgrades. Got 21k max operations and the 4th chip is 25k.

And I dunno I've kinda been ignoring regular production after buying all those mega auto builders and pulling in consistent money. Got hesitant about buying more mega builders after I realized I had so many at one point that I wasn't actually making money because of how fast I was blowing through wire.

yeah basically. also yomi never stops being useful

did you just trap me into another kittens game

I mean, the game actually has an ending, it took me like...6 hours when I played it, but I'm sure it could be done faster with smarter decision making.

@metroid_composite

I just finished exploring the universe and met a thing that let me restart in a universe with a stronger lust for paperclips, when you say "an ending" is that further on from here?

What did Quantum Computing do?

it cycles from -x to +x, spam clicking it when the box is filled for a boost of operations, but don't click it when it's cycling through negatives

if a price is working well you should be able to buy another auto clipper

at which point your supply goes up, and you should probably lower your price to clear out your surplus

at which point public demand goes up, and you can buy another auto clipper...

Also I was thinking - if we submitted votes as 1st, 2nd, 3rd (3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, 1 for 3rd) we'd be less likely to end in a tie, even if not everyone voted.
