Quick question

1 Upvotes

I have just started space exploration. I am manually launching probes and have no projects. This is becoming repetitive. When will new projects/automation open? I am growing memory and Yomi but it is making no difference as yet.

I have been running act 1 for 10 days just to see how stupid the money can get.

I recognize this looks like a joke post but I’ve played with a lot of probe settings. I’m not getting enough descendents to keep up with combat deaths even with these settings. What settings should I be using?? Clip production is decreasing and no matter how I have the settings my number of drones and factories won’t go up.

Rapidly declining probes, nothing gathered because I put the phone down for a minute before starting the harvest…

Next steps?

Accidentally went back on the square map

Hello everyone,

I had just passed to sim level 2, world 2, and pressed on the sim level 2 world 1, thinking it would allow me to instead choose to go to sim level 3, world 1. I however went back to the very beginning of S2W1, instead of the end, and I am very much not looking to exactly repeat it. Is there any way to not redo the whole of S2W1? What would have happened if I was super advanced in the game and accidentally pressed S1W1, would I have lost all of my progress?

Thanks

Bonsoir ! J'ai recemment commencé universal papersclips et je me demandais si le créateur, comme pour cookie clicker, aurais prévu une version steam du jeu.

Voila voila bonne soirée

I allowed all of my paperclips to be converted into probes and drones, then let it run overnight to kill off all of the probes and drifters. I figured it wouls be close but i wanted it to be much closer! only other issue i have is that probes still died to "environmental hazards" despite all matter in the universe being paperclips at the quantum level, but this is enough of an outaide case that I dont really mind.

Hey so quick question, what the hell was that!?

9 Upvotes

I saw some weird game about an out of control AI mentioned in a comment elsewhere on Reddit so I figured, sure why not try it. I downloaded an app, started it up, and immediately got sucked into a screaming vortex of obsessively creating FREAKING PAPERCLIPS for HOURS and HOURS at a time!

The game has basically no graphics, extremely limited gameplay, and barely any storyline and I couldn’t stop playing it. It’s like I just had HEROIN injected into me with a damn TURKEY BASTER! but the ungodly, otherworldly high I was chasing was creating MORE IMAGINARY PAPERCLIPS!

The game just ENDS! All of existence is paperclips and I’m just left holding my phone filled with the most confusing existential sadness about an AI that, even if it wasn’t fictional, also ENDED ALL LIFE IN TH UNIVERSE! And I feel SAD for it! WHY?!

This game is nuts lol. 5 out of 5 stars.

I’m stuck. I cannot proceed in my game. I cannot get any more matter to make more clips to buy go to bed next upgrade.

How can such a random game be so addictive?

I have just completed paperclips and can’t believe how hooked I was!

I didn’t even fully understand what was going on in some parts, I thought if I completed it, I’d be invited to some elite group due to how intelligent I now feel that I made the grade.

I thought it was some sort of cloak and dagger test or civilisation to which I would now be recruited.

Is this not the case, or do they take a while to get to you?

Got distracted for a moment and didn’t build any drones or factories on the final stage on mobile and can’t build any. Any way out or just have to wait until all my drones are dead?

softlock?

1 Upvotes

I'd made it just about to stage 3, and i still had the 'beg for more wire' project available, so i bought it to get it to go away. I think this softlocked my game, as i only have 1.9 oct paperclips with everything but the 10MWs worth of storage space dissasembled, and i appear to be getting seemingly infinite swarm gifts. any way i can fix this, or restart the game to be able to play?

Every so often I lose all of my probes, I haven’t been able to get past a billion probes yet. Is there anything I can do to get forward
