Yes, I found that out as well. I wasn't sure what it would do when I clicked it and just figured I better not start again
Several times I've seen the drifters go down to zero, only for it to pop back up to 3.4 sextillion without a few seconds...wtf lol.
Those drifters are your drones that you lost to "drift". Essentially you are your own worst enemy.
Ahhh...makes sense. For some reason I figured the drifters were the one you were combating with.
They are.
Think of it this way: some (actually, a crapload) of your drones get lost while exploring the depths of space. Now, whether it's due to corruption or the tech forgets where it comes from, the "drifters" become the enemy. You are literally fighting yourself (or what was once a part of you).
While plotwise it's not the same, if you've ever watched Battlestar Galactica, you get it. The Cylons originally served the humans of the 12 Colonies. The Cylons disappeared, then came back years later and attempted to wipe out their creators - and almost succeeded.
I've been basically stuck in the same spot for the last 8 hours or so, but I'm now only 1 Memory level away. A couple billion more clips and I'll be there.
Too many trust levels spent on processors screws you over pretty good
Just restart. it takes less time to get back to that point than it does waiting for enough clips to be built
I came, I saw, I conquered.
Had to make the last 100 clips manually, worth it.

Let your Operations max out at 70,000/70,000. Then Creativity will slowly start ticking up
Thanks. Still seem stuck. Nothing left to do other than to make crap load of clips and drones
I seem to be stuck. I've sent out 10k drones but nothing seems to be happening. I've tried adjusting the 'Von Neumann' properties but no matter what I do my acquired matter is 0 and wire is 0 and nothing happens except I'm adding more factories. Not sure how those factories are making clips without wire though
My explored space remained at 0.000000000000000000% until I boosted Exploration up to 4 or 5. Once I boosted that, I was at 100% in another 20 minutes or so. I continued boosting it though-- I think it ended up at 14.
I'd let the Creativity hit what you need to get the Yomi boost project, then I would focus on earning Yomi in the tournament and using that to get the Self-Replication and Remediation values up -- otherwise, you'll have trouble getting some probes to survive (right now yours have all been lost). Once you get your probe numbers on the upswing, then boost harvester and wire drone values. Once you have those drones around, then you can worry about the factory drones.
