So I've obtained full autonomy, I've got clip factories and tons of drones, and they are mostly "thinking", bringing me gifts. the problem is, there are no more projects... Did I find a bug and get stuck, or am I supposed to be more patient? I don't see a way to level up any more..

I attained full autonomy before getting to 100m+ clips and am now stuck not able to create any factories. The price of success ;-)

I got stuck too. I spent too much trust on CPU instead of memory. That limited my total compute to 30K, I needed 50K for the upgrade and the quantum boost wore off before I could reach 50K. I ended up having to click the quantum button using javascript, because I couldn't click fast enough. That got me unstuck.

I apparently played that stage too well and completed it before I had made enough paper clips (which becomes the new currency then) to get anything started at all in the next stage.

[spoiler] It unlocks at 10, 50 and 100 factories or something like that, same with drones, 5k, 50k etc. [/spoiler]

Did you even start exploring the universe?

[elsurudo]

Yeah, eventually I figured it out. The trick was to start an exponential growth of probes by focussing on self-replication... then things started unlocking and it went on from there...
