Re: Paperclips Game

Well, got to a point where im really not sure what to do! Paperclips are still being produced, but I dont think my rate of production is growing at all...and I have a lot of zero's to make up somehow! Need some projects or progression quick!

    Fucking a I think I’m stuck. My memory is capped at 42k and it seems the only way to advance that is by gaining trust which is so far between levels. I need 50k to get the next project.

    My von neuman probe design is maxed out on trust (20/20), but have no clue how to gain trust at this point, or get new projects. Not sure what values to designate to my von neuman probe to make production more efficient, but certainly not "advancing" much (3.68 sextillion clips per second). I have launched something like 3500 probes manually, lol. So confused!!

    Played a second time last night with a strategy, and only approved my time finishing the game by 15 min. Did make it under the 3 hour mark.

    oh shit, yea, I just got bored with it and finally x'd out that tab in my browser, I figured that would totally kill it. But I just came back after like a half hour and clicked on the original link from this thread again, and it's maintained my same exact #s.

    I'm thinking probably doing a full cookies wipe with my browser history MIGHT be the only thing that would allow a true start over

    well apparently it only genuinely ends when you produce 300 billion billion billion billion billion billion billion paper clips or something? I've only ever seen numbers like that in Neil degrass Tyson lectures.

    It goes up and down depending on your demand and supply for the first part of the game, then steadily moves higher. I'm at like $2.60 but was as low as 5 cents.

    Don't have supply outstrip demand.

    0% of the universe, have no idea who i am fighting or how to fight, but im in combat now but clueless what to even do. Still making clips at an alarming speed though, kinda just letting it do its thing as im at a loss as to what to even try to accomplish.

    exact same situation. 37/44. 32 billion invested. No point buying auto clips or mega clips at this point.

    Re: Paperclips Game

    I seriously can't comprehend how some of you properly "finished" this thing in just a handful of hours. hell the highest amount of clips produced per second I got to was about 180k. I had a huge amount of money but it was taking forever for the produced counter to get up to whatever the next "+1 trust" level was, to get more memory to then get whatever the next Project was.

    and like I said I'm very much thinking a total cookies clear is the only possible way to start from scratch again, and I really don't know if I wanna bother wiping out any other auto stuff I have for other sites

    To finish the game, you need 100 trust. Trust me on that.

    You'll get the ability to gain more trust to go beyond 20 once the drifters start to attack, which happens once your probes have replicated to 1 million probes I think.

    Haha, what are you doing with $7B in investments? I think you can get beyond the investment stage once you have maybe $300 million or so. Need 70,000 operations points.
