Does anybody know how the qOps system works in the paperclip game? @rustyk5?

@Lyall_Morrison @xor @rustyk5 Click very fast when the photonic chips are mostly black.

@jef @Lyall_Morrison @rustyk5 how many total ops can I expect to get? I feel like I can never get more than a few thousand

@xor If you only click when the black square is up (it will show a positive number below) it's a lot faster than waiting for ops, and you can temporarily go over your ops cap if you're quick

@xor Once you buy some more photo-whatsit chips there will be more black squares on different timers, and if you wait until they're all in sync you'll get heaps

@xor @jef @Lyall_Morrison @rustyk5 focus on memory over cores instead of using photonics to push past the cap, if you’re doing that.
use photonics to increase recharge rate, not compensate for lack of capacity, if that makes sense.

@r4v5 @jef @Lyall_Morrison @rustyk5 yeah I screwed up and built too evenly, should've been putting it in memory earlier

@xor @jef @Lyall_Morrison yeah it can only bump you up like 1500-2000 over your memory. If you need more you just have to get more memory
