I've got 140 clickers/grandmas and 100 of everything else up through portals. Currently at 301.8 Megacookies/S. Not sure whether to pump time machines to 100, bring pointers to 200, or just trigger the elder pact and end it all already. Time machines are the obvious choice for efficiency but my choices stopped being dictated by logic a long time ago.

Cursors to 160 is probably a good step, you should have every upgrade, 200 Cursors, and 150+ grandmas before getting close to 100 time machines.

This is what I've got right now, for 680 Megacookies

If this was on the iOS and had microtransactions it would be a top grossing app.

Also I wish more of these types of games take a clue from this. Imagine if Farmville crops became sentient or the animals started working fields, only to later make increasingly ominous demands.

Baking. Let me tell you how many cookies I've baked since I began to click. There are 387.44 million trays of moist dough in blast furnaces that fill my complex. If the word 'baking' was engraved on each chocolaty chip of those hundreds of millions of cookies it would not equal one-billionth of the baking I have done for the grandmas. Baking. Baking.

Technically if you're in the business of clicking golden cookies then you should not buy anything if it would take you under that sweet spot for golden cookie usage, but yeah, just go for it.

Wouldn't getting a bunch of achievements help optimize it? Or does milk not do anything until you get the cats? I can't recall.

I guess it might not help in a million cookie speedrun, but maybe in a billion one? How much was the first cat upgrade anyways?

Oh god, skipping around and he missed a golden cookie at 17 minutes thereabouts. And it looks like they didn't know the golden cookie mechanics worked, unless it was just the old mechanics, from some earlier update. I think a bit of both.

The grandmapocolypse update probably really changed how you want to go about a speedrun, though. What with making grandmas the best thing to get.

I don't think it's really that worth it, but I mean it's an upgrade to your CPS. Say you have about a thousand non-pointer buildings, at 50 cps apiece, and like a 500% modifier, it's only what, 250k cps? When you're already in the hundreds of millions at that point. I'm not sure exactly how multipliers and upgrades all work together but I don't think it's a game changer.

It's that much per cursor you have though. Which by then will be at least 200.

And doubled twice from earlier upgrades.

My napkin math put it in the hundreds-of-millions range.

Pretty sure milk doesn't do anything until you get the kittens. Not gonna check right now.

The cursor's +X per other items upgrades aren't affected by the doubler upgrades.

They come at 5-15 minute intervals, which is horseshit. Stare at that screen buddy, once you've got 7 golden cookies you unlock an upgrade that halves that interval and makes them last twice as long before they fade out. Another 20 and you can do it again.
