in the beginning 1 point is enough, but when you produce less wire than paperclips its time to reallocate this point. Also Max out Thrust Value before Starting Exploring Space (and for that purpose collect Yomi before), because there is not much point in sendig Probes with only 1 Thrust. My usual initial Setup is 1 Speed, 1 Exploration, 10 Replication, 5 Anti-Hazard, 1 to each Factory and Drone Production. This way Launching only 1 Probe is enough..Santi wrote:one point in factories and such is more than enough.
Note: if you run out of Paperclips Replication will not work or slow down, often noticeable only after Probe number dops - check the Bottleneck and re-assign ressources accordingly, Possible Bottlenecks:
=> Matter Discovery (Speed and Exploration, each at least 1)
=> Matter Aquisation (Collector Drone Production)
=> Wire Production (Wire Drone Production)
=> Paperclip Production (Factory Production)
