The Bottomless Box of Paperclips is a Hardmode Clicker accessory that has a chance to be dropped by any Mechanical Boss. When equipped, it allows the player to collect enemy matter as damage is inflicted with clickers, indicated by a gauge below the player. The amount of matter collected per click is based on the size of the damaged enemy, but a maximum of 10% of the gauge can be filled at a time. When the gauge has been filled, it will be consumed to create a fountain of 4 paperclip projectiles from the cursor's position. Each paperclip deals the same damage as the player's held clicker and inflicts the Gouge debuff for 1 second, dealing 30 damage per second.

Notes

The amount of matter collected from enemies (in percent) is based on the following formula: ${\text{matterAmount}}=\min(({\text{int}})({\frac {{\text{target.height}}*{\text{target.width}}}{200}}),10)$ ^[1]

Trivia

This item is a reference to the idle game Universal Paperclips. It being dropped by the Mechanical Bosses is based on the role assumed by players in the game, an AI tasked with creating paperclips.
