Paperclips endgame (REJECT path) systematically dismantles every UI element one by one - probes, swarm, factories, strategy engine, quantum chips, processors, memory - while the clip count inches up from 29.9 septendecillion to a final digit. Each panel disappears at a timed interval. The most haunting sequence in idle gaming.

Dismantle stages in main.js:

dismantle 1: Hide probe design panels (tick 50-190)
dismantle 2: Hide wire production, swarm gifts (tick 50-150)
dismantle 3: Hide factories, clips/sec, TOH panels
dismantle 4: Hide strategy engine, tournament management
dismantle 5: Quantum chips disappear one by one (tick 10, 60, 100, 130, 150, 160, 165, 169, 172, 174)
dismantle 6: Hide processors
dismantle 7: Hide computation and projects panels

Beacon: When game reaches maximum, begin the Unbuilding. Each panel disappears. The beacon nodes stay lit. Final moment: one beacon remains. "That is enough."

Ref: /tmp/paperclips/main.js lines 4325-4500 (dismantle sequence), 2328-2365 (display changes during dismantle)
