Beg for More Wire is a project in Universal Paperclips.
Summary[ | ]
When you don't have enough funds to purchase more wire, and have no way of obtaining enough funds to be able to purchase more, this project is unlocked. Since the price of wire fluctuates, it is sometimes possible to wait for the price to drop and be able to buy wire again, even when this project appears.
With some experimentation it was found that you need only have not enough money to buy wire, and 0 wire (and have not bought the investment engine). The game does not take unsold paperclips into account. You can also have negative trust. It is still unknown whether you can softlock yourself using the idea that the trading engine rounds to the nearest whole dollar (or just by losing all of your money).
If trust is greater than processors plus memory, you can get more of the latter. Negative trust has no direct adverse effects.
