      ​@@JosuaKrauseWell, by definition every number is divisible by every number, outcome of divion of 2 integer numbers didn't need to be integer too, what makes every prime integer number divisble by 4, de facto abloshing your argument.
      From mathematical point of view first step to actually answer the question if infinite number of universes oucome in every possible variant is to define "infinite", if infinite is infinite because number isn't possible to measure and it's grow when we measure it, it's safe to say there are inifinite number of variants.
      If number is infinite because it isn't possible to measure it could mean we just don't have knowledge how to measure it or it's entire imposible to measure and therefore it's imposible to know if there is every possible variant.
      If number is infinte and it shrinks, it's safe to say there aren't infinite variation of universe, as those, if ever existed don't exist anymore or didn't existed in the first place.
      It's compilicated subject, as universes in fact are touched by entropia that in final result would cause every universe to be identical with others, causing existence of only 1 variant with energy splited in the same way without existence of matter, so technically every variant of universe slowly goes into 1 final variant and in process many of them when earlier represented other variants represent now 1 variant with Sister universes. Let's say universe A, B and C had machine that was turning everything into clipers. In world A, galactic federation in Adromeda flourished, in B was destroyed by nuclear war and in C never raised in the first place. But all of them end up as bunch of clippers in space due to machine originated from Earth company. Number of variants of universe, with siplified asumption those vatiants were not coppied don't exist anymore therefore universes represent third case and in the last, you are rigth but not because of equaling them with numbers but because of tendency to become one specified variant shared among all universes.
      At least if they're have enthropy 😅
      Technically they can don't have it but I'm to tired to think about it now, probability of probablity isn't something I want to do today, but if you are interested you could seek other asumptions with different data.

    Just set the swarm to around 90-95% think and then never think of it again. Also, always keep your swarm growing. The more drones you have, the larger and more frequent gifts you'll receive. So in your probe design, always keep one point in each type of drone production. You don't need to continuously produce factories, just make enough of them that your available wire always stays at 0.

    I'm sure this game is based on an SCP, an artificial intelligence trapped underground with the sole goal of making more paperclips at the expense of everything else.
    It seems funny on the surface until you realise the implications of such a thing coming into existence.

    Glad you wen back to it. This is easily the best incremental game out there. it has an itneresting concept and you can finish it in an afternoon or two rather than it going on forever.
    There's another one by the same guy, antimater dimensions. But that one will take much longer to finish and it can be quite involved. More difficult to recommend and would make for terrible youtube. But for anyone interested in incremental games it's worth giving it a look.

      Wrong. He was consuming more power than he was generating, and when he ran out, the multiplier reset to 100% but then balanced itself at 84% to use all the power he was generating as best as it could

    8:34 It would be kinda cool if this game has multiple endings, and one of the "Bad" endings is by giving the drones time to think. They then self-actualize and overthrow the player

    When your processors make more operations than you have room to store in memory, the overflow gets turned into creativity instead. So that's where it comes from. Let your memory fill up and overflow and don't use any of the ops.

    I played through the game after your first video, and after finishing it I saw a bunch of people saying that it has amazing replayability, but I don't understand that, it doesn't seem to have much replayability at all, it was fun to play once, but there's no other major paths to go down so I wouldn't really want to play it again

      There ARE a few paths to go down, depending on how you react to the drifters.

    You described the AIs goal wrong at the start of the game. Its goal is not to make the most succesful paper clip business. Its goal is to make the most paperclips. It cant make a succesful business if all matter in the universe is paperclips, but that does make them paperclips.
