- bombcar 4y agoYou are a kitten in a catnip forest. You are vastly superior to any paper clip, universal or not.
- mrob 4y agoUniversal Paperclips can be played faster by setting your keyboard autorepeat rate to maximum and using keyboard instead of mouse to press the buttons. I'd argue this is thematically appropriate and better than playing using mouse only, even if you ignore the time saving.
- misnome 4y agoIt also makes playing less painful if you are RSI-susceptible
- McGlockenshire 4y agoThe application is also constructed in a way that lets you call the internals directly. I ended up building a few bookmarklets that: - Call the "the make a clip button got pressed" function a few thousand times - Monitored the opacity of the quantum compute section and automatically called the right bits when they'd be most effective and never when they'd be ineffective or counterproductive - Automatically calls the "entertain" bits when the swarm gets "bored" for maximum AFK-ability - In the late late late game, allow factory production for only the length of a single setTimeout as to not overproduce factories and throw the entire balance off
- aqme28 4y agoIsn't clicking really only helpful for the first few minutes anyways?
- dragontamer 4y agoIts also useful for the Quantum Computer. So I'd say "serious" amounts of clicking is ~first few minutes, and then maybe for ~10 minute segment (and only ~30 seconds at a time at most).
- karmakaze 4y agoI wish it was only 10 hours. And now it's been quite a while since I've played. Wondering if I'll enjoy it nearly as much again. It is the weekend...
- bitwidget 4y agoThanks, I just spent the last 3 hours of my life playing this. I have no idea why it's so addicting, but man do I want to win...
