Entertain the Swarm is a repair button in Universal Paperclips.

Summary[]

Once all of the matter in the world has been consumed by the Harvester Drones, a timer is started. After about 5 minutes have elapsed, the drones shift into "Bored" status and stop producing new gifts. The Entertain the Swarm button appears and is enabled. Clicking the button restarts the drones' computational activity (production activity is no longer possible because there is no matter left) and the timer is restarted. The initial cost of entertaining the drones is 10,000 creativity; the cost increases by 10,000 each time the swarm becomes bored. This repair is useful when additional Swarm Gifts need to be generated (e.g., additional Processors or Memory is needed before progressing to Stage 3).
