i cant get off the planet.  requirements were 120k ops ..............................got that. 10,000,000 mws.( power ) .....got that 5 octillion clips. .............i got to 3.1 oct unused clips, then ran out of resources. ( i produced 6 trillion in all ) the first time i only had around 1 octillion unused clips, so the second time i stopped producing factories at 50, and drones at 5000, but still ran out of resources. whats the deal here? doh. needed batteries.

Here are your paper clips https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip |

Quoted: i am sending out a shitload of probes but it still says 0% of the universe explored. my probes suck. How much is a shitload? You need to get the drift under control and then be "mining" enough to continue replication of your drones. Start investing in exploration for the probes and eventually you'll explore the universe. This is my final probe design. This was the one part of the game where I had to actively manage the game. Any time I increased probe trust I had to invest points in combat before I could pull them back out and put them somewhere else. I accidentally left the game running last night at the point when the emperor sends a message. I have 60M creativity, 4M Yomi and 3M Honor. Von Neumann Probe Design Trust: 47 / 47 (60 Max) < > Speed: 6 < > Exploration: 5 < > Self-Replication: 15 < > Hazard Remediation: 3 < > Factory Production: 4 < > Harvester Drone Production: 1 < > Wire Drone Production: 1 < > Combat: 12 |

I'm stuck. I had around 5 billion drones. 0.000000000% explored. No more clips being made. No more matter available. But if I ever tried to reduce combat the drifters would knock me out. About 500 million drifters took out 5 billion drones faster than I noticed after bumping up the exploring quite a bit. |

I moving along now. Getting close to exploring 1% of the universe lol Attached File |

Damn. 3 minutes later I had the universe totally explored Attached File |
