Because mine is no longer producing paperclips, and I can't see any way to proceed other than producing more paperclips. EDIT: I understand it now. It is working as intended. EDIT2: Nitpick: in the second (?) stage, there's a stat for "MWs/sec" power consumption... this should just be "MW" - 1 Watt is 1 Joule/second so I don't see what 1 Joule/second/second of power consumption would mean.

It’s megawatt-seconds per second. (?)

The seconds cancel, so it's just an excessively complicated way of writing MW.

Not familiar with this case, but W/s could be describing an acceleration, i.e an increasing rate of energy transfer

It's starting to remove some of my braincells atm.
