Spoiler: You need to buy power banks, then sell your solar arrays. It’s not per second, you just need to have the power stored.

That's now three people who have answered this question. I answered it first, then Clippy in the post immediately preceding yours and iPhoenix just after yours.

You have nearly 3 septillion clips invested in power generation that will be unnecessary as soon as you have enough power stored.

My probes are dying out, and I don't know why. Help pls

Your exploration rate is too low to feed that high drone production- they're starved for work and you're losing probes faster than they're able to reproduce. In particular because you're not gaining any new matter with zero speed and exploration.

Take a bunch of points out of drone production, put a few into speed and exploration and a bunch into self-replication.

I've played through this twice now (it's strangely addictive).

The second time I was much more efficient than the first, although I struck a slight hitch when I accidentally closed the tab. The game resumed mostly fine when I reopened the tab, except that the tournaments stopped functioning - not only did Auto Tournament not work anymore, but I didn't even get awarded Yomi when I manually ran a tournament. So to circumvent this I opened the browser console and set an interval to accumulate 2000 Yomi every 60 secs, which seemed fair enough based on what I'd been getting.

Anyway, I now have a lot of simulated paperclips
