conulyBut that's something else.
You're just a humble AI, and all you want to do is be the best paperclip manufacturer ever. (And you will be!)
1. Instead of click-click-clicking, you can just click once and then hold down the enter key.
2. Open it in its own window, not its own tab - it won't run in the background if the tab is minimized, but it will if the window is minimized. Which is weird, but whatever.
3. The Quantum Computing thing is weird, but basically, you get positive amounts if at least 50% of your chips are showing up as black or dark gray.
4. You never are going to need more than 250 points in memory, shove the rest in processing. But don't put anything in processing until you're at at least 50 or 70 in memory.
5. In the early game, price is key. You want to ensure that you never run out of paperclips to sell while also not having tons of backlog building up.
6. Don't liquidate all your factories and swarm when you move to stage three. Only get rid of exactly as many as you need to have enough paperclips to move up! (Oh, and they want banked solar energy, so be sure you have the right number of batteries.) (At least, I think you get to keep them. Should I play it again and find out?)
7. Be sure to set your swarm to "think" for a while so you can rapidly build "honor" to upgrade your max drone points. There's only 11 of those missions, so once they're done, put your swarm back on 100% building using the slider.
8. Plenty of points in drone self-replication, hazard remediation, and combat, at least one point in each other category, at least until you have a very very large swarm - then you can put the swarm and factory points in speed and exploration. And when you add drones manually, remember - click once and hold down the enter key!
9. Once you finally have explored some of the universe, the percentage will rack up quickly. You need tons of points still in remediation.
It's going to take a few hours, but you don't need to be there the whole time. You can just wander off and do other things most of it.
Oh! And there's some music. Mute that window entirely if you don't like it, I can't find a way to turn it off.

Date: 2017-10-24 02:30 am (UTC)Do you want me to spoil the ending? Or do you want to try opening in a different browser, but when it comes to buying factories don't do the click and enter trick. (Refreshing worked when I got the same glitch, but....)
