How do you increase value drift in universal paperclips?

To significantly increase value drift in Universal Paperclips, you must invest in and elevate your levels of Probe Trust.

The Core Mechanic: Increasing Probe Trust

Value drift is directly and intrinsically linked to the level of Probe Trust you have established. With every single level of Probe Trust added, the rate of value drift experiences a notable increase. This fundamental mechanic ensures that as your trust in your probes grows, so does the subtle, yet powerful, shift in your overall value perception within the game's universe.

Understanding Drifter Probes and Their Impact

While increasing Probe Trust is the key to driving up value drift, it's also important to understand the specific characteristics of the drifter probes associated with this process. These particular probes operate under unique parameters that distinguish them from other units in your fleet.

Key Characteristics of Drifter Probes:

• No Self-Replication: Unlike various other probe types you might develop, drifter probes are unable to self-replicate. This means their numbers are fixed once created and cannot be passively increased through their own actions. You will need to actively produce them if more are desired.
• Fixed Combat Ability: Their combat capability is set at a constant value of 1.75. This is a crucial detail, as it implies they do not gain combat strength through upgrades or accumulated experience, maintaining a consistent defensive or offensive presence if engaged.
