You'll get there....Stuck with Drones still to do. I did something wrong. Memory at 66, Processors at 39. Can't get to 70k in Ops to release the drones.

The worst part is with Quantum Computing I can get ops to 68980....then I run out of time and watch it fall back to 66k.
I may let it run overnight and see what happens in the AM.

Yeah, i started down that path, processors should not be that high.Stuck with Drones still to do. I did something wrong. Memory at 66, Processors at 39. Can't get to 70k in Ops to release the drones.
You can't buy more than 33 processors during the first phase or you get stuck.
Fortunately it's fixable. Using F12 to bring up the console, type in "processors -= 7;" without quotes. This "sells" 7 processors and you should be able to put 7 trust in Memory, which is enough to get to 70 in a quantum phase.

I'm at 19 processors & 70 Memory. Waiting for the Ops to fill up before I launch hypnodrones... I've been putting off going to lunch for this thing...Stuck with Drones still to do. I did something wrong. Memory at 66, Processors at 39. Can't get to 70k in Ops to release the drones.

I can't believe I used to manually buy more wire trying to cut costs. HA

Nevermind, I need 100 trust to release drones, stuck at 93.
Might need to pay the stock market...

Alright, next question:
I'm in space mode. 24/24 Trust at this point. Battles being fought. No projects available. Yomi out the ###. 820 billion total probes and climbing.
Problem? 0.0000000000% of the universe explored.

The only way I made it to the end, was by pretending I was making a paperclip out of your face.
Its a big ####### universe - when the end comes, it comes quickly enough, but it takes a while to get to that stage. Patience is required.

Set your hazard at about 4-5, combat as low as you can get away with winning (7-8) and max out self rep

Ignore speed and exploration. I only worried about replication, hazard mitigation and combat until the Drifters were mere specs under my thumb.

Yeah, after you get replication up to 14 or something, you can start easing into speed/exploration but you don't need much. Bottom line is # of probes >>> speed/exploration. At least that's how it worked for me.
jplvr
Footballguy
I couldn't completely ignore it because the tickers stopped moving. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, or maybe they tweaked some things since you played. I had to keep Speed and Exploration at 1, at least, but I did have my settings a little off for sure.
36% now and almost done.... 47...

Whats up with having to allocate so much to Combat.... I have 10/20 and gaining honor at a creep rate. Never getting above 20 at this rate.

I think its still early - but my recollection was in the final stage, I had a lot - by several orders of magnitude - more drones alive - looks like you have 3.18 million - when I was fighting drifters it felt like i had trillions+ I basically outnumbered the drifters in most of the battles, but again, I think you are still very early in the process here.

Yeah you need numbers. Once you outnumber them combat gets easier. I had a similar problem just not as bad.
Drop combat by three or four, put it all in replicate.
All that matters is if your #s go up faster than theirs, if so wait until you outnumber them. I was easily 10:1

Okay so high number of drones should win battles in their own right? Meaning combat isn't really necessary? Focus resources on Drone Replication and Hazard remediation?
I did and I'm leaking honor badly with 30MM drones and climbing rapidly

I was like you and had high combat early, but by the time I got my numbers up, Combat was 4-5, before I started upping the max from 20 to 40 - then I upped combat a little, but it was mostly still replication, exploration, and speed (when you buy the OODA loop - that speed helps in combat)

If you get self-replication high enough, you don't need to launch more than one probe. Heck, I've completed the game by launching only one probe on two different play throughs. My strategy was to out breed the drift. Once you get enough drones, have them help "think". It helps with the creativity generation which in turn can help with honor. Which in turn helps you build better probes. I think I had purchased nearly 35 or more "probe improvements" at the end.
I do like the status update when you have one drone. "Lonely"
(Oh, my son did win the race, but not my much. Considering he was almost in space when I started I felt pretty good about almost catching him)

I have the console up, but where do you type and run this in the console?
I'm a little processor-heavy.
