Once you get that first 90K Honor to increase your max Trust for Probes, its only a matter of time until you win with the right use of your swarm (see #7). Both of those result in significant rewards over time. The "goodwill" projects are only unlocked after you reach 101M clips produced, so depending on strategy, this may be a bottleneck. In the mobile version, the player can restart in a parallel universe "next door" or simulated universe "within". But if Lost to hazards grows very quickly, especially if more quickly than your population, then reverse that effect. Each one is made from the paperclip matter that used to be people, animals, oceans, cities. The main goals, in the short term, may simply be to ensure that: the Total section is increasing, and certainly not decreasing (except briefly after a battle, and only reduced temporarily before increasing again). That might, or might not, work out better. Not completing that may cause Yomi gathering to be a bit slower, but if you still have that project available and you're hurting for Creativity for other things, don't get that project (yet). The power requirement is on MWs-second, that is, on storage capacity. Lost to hazards is affected by Hazard Remidiation.). They convert "Available Matter" to "Acquired Matter". This subreddit is for lovers of games that feature an incremental mechanism, such as unlocking progressively more powerful upgrades, or discovering new ways to play the game.

I tend to do: Speed 1/2 Exploration 1/2 Self Replication 15+ Hazard Remediation 5/6 Factory Production 0/1 Harvester Drone Production 0/1 Wire Drone Production 0/1 Combat 5/6. One possible approach: put a point in Self-Replication and Hazard Remdiation until both are at 5. Save your Creativity for Name the battles (225k creat). Quantum Computing cost 10,000 operations, and is useless until you then spend another 10,000 getting at least one Photonic Chip.

Some tips about goals to seek before taking a break: Get 200 drones, and then spend 36,000 Yomi on Swarm Computing. However, soon (after getting a Swarm) you will be able to be gain those Computational Resources faster, by effective use of the Work/Think meter being slid very close to Think (presuming that Swarm Computing has Status: Active). You can also gain more trust on Level 1, but the only point of that will be to get more Computational Resources. It won't be needed until Stage 3, and only after. In the beginning, the player has only a single button to build individual paperclips. It eventually just started to tick over. For an idling clicker game, thats a big no-no, given that you really dont want to be staring at that exact page all day, particularly if youre trying to pretend like youre working.

When you get a new Trust category later, you'll reduce Self-Replication from 11 to 5, to place Trust into that new category. You have to make it so that you have tonnes of probes - so minimize anything in the Von Neumann part that doesn't focus on probe creation, and up self-replication, hazard, speed. I was told to check it out by my editor as it was all the rage on social media, and sure enough I got hooked and Ive beaten in twice in the past two days.

Each increase of Probe Trust also increases Value Drift, as seen in the log: "WARNING: Risk of value drift increased". Message from the Emperor of Drift is unlocked when you explore the entire universe and use all the matter to make paperclips. When having hundreds of thousands of dollars, High Risk has been known to double value, often faster than any other approach.
