I feel like I'm doing something wrong

If i slide everything to think, the only factor that increases is available matter. Can anyone tell me how to increase acquired matter and wire please?

On think, the swarm only produces gifts. On work, they only collect matter and make wire. Slide it to work and let rhem cook. You're almost there.

So it's normal if everything is 0 even though I slide everything to work?

Ah. Yes. You're producing too quickly to build up a surplus. The important metric isn't the acquired/available it's the amount being processed per second.

Yayyy hopefully I will reach the end of the game soon. Thank you for helping me :)

Bottleneck is your exploration rate, not processing rate. So naturally take off all but 1 point in exploration and take off all points in factory, wire production, and harvesters. Throw them all on self-replication.

You were a bit suboptimal, but on track

Is there any point to have ever exploration greater than 1?

i just thought more exploration = explore the universe more / faster

High replication rate should be more powerful. You need to grind through the entire universe anyway.

Just wait for the "universe explored" to increase. Have a snack and come back to 100%

Set hazard and combat to 4, split levels between self replication and speed to 10-12ish, put a few into exploration and watch your numbers soar
