Are the Heavenly Cookies added to the regular multiplier or are they a separate multiplier?

I now understand why Red Cookies are useless after Get Lucky. I got to the trillions needed for Get Lucky thanks to 2 cookie chains and 2 elder frenzies, but now that I have double the length of regular frenzies, a cookie infusion nets me 6 trillion during a frenzy. It is insane!

They're added into the regular multiplier, but it additionally displays it separately.

Red cookies are better when you have low CpS, but worse as you go up.

AnonSpore posted:

Define low? I can't be sure in this world of quadrillions.


I just ran some napkin math (rounded a whole bunch).

A red cookie on average yields: 402.14*CpS + 192Billion + .01125*Clicking Frenzy
A gold cookie on average yields: 854.14*CpS + 10.6Billion + .016625*Clicking Frenzy

Ignoring Clicking Frenzy, gold surpasses red at ~400,000,000CpS
With 10clicks/sec its lowered to ~380,000,000CpS
And with 30clicks/sec (someone used this # for autoclick last page) its ~350,000,000CpS and you are a horrible person for using autoclick.

Have no clue how the numbers change after Get Lucky lets Frenzy overlap with golden cookies. But that number really doesn't matter as you will have well more than 400,000,000CpS before you can afford Get Lucky.


AnonSpore posted:

That is, when is it worth turning off the grandmapocalypse?

There was a whole lot of math a page or so back there, but basically never buy Elder Covenant (except for achievement, and immediately buy to have it removed) because Elder Pledge is better than Covenant. Because the -5% CpS is a flat -5% of your total CpS (not additive like the cookie upgrades) and having a lower CpS also reduces what you get from golden cookies. If you are actually clicking the golden cookies, I think the threshold that the -5% is greater than the flat Elder Pledge cost an hour is extremely low, like 5,000,000 CpS. And Pledges don't hurt your CpS if you just let it idle. By the time you can afford the Covenant, you don't want it.

Yeah, I'm almost at this point as well. Is the only thing left to do just to leave it on in the background for like a month? Or should I just prioritize getting all the achievements and then resetting with Heavenly Chips and starting over, so that I can get to this point faster?

Speaking of "True Neverclick," whats the deal on that? Make a million without clicking? The wikia article's information on that is written terribly.

E: Okay, after looking into it, it requires a restart. So, you can do this after getting the restart achievement? Do you also get Neverclick if you get True Neverclick first? (Same for the restart achievements, do they stack if you hold out all the way to quadrillions?)

As soon as you pass the point where it caps now Get Lucky will be improving your cookie production, and even until then you're still doubling the amount of time Frenzy lasts. There's literally no reason not to buy Get Lucky as soon as you can afford it.

This is the spreadsheet we're all using. You can set a goal for each of the buildings and it'll tell you exactly how many cookies it'll take and also provide an ETA at your current cookie rate.

Change these two cells to correct a math error.

A quick way to show that you shouldn't stop at 100 of a building. Portals

At 100 portals the next one is 1.9 billion, for 66,656 more cookies per second. 100 times machines costs 144.9 trillion for 869,128 more cookies per second.

You can buy 17 portals for the same price as the 101st time machine. That's 1,133,152(17*66,656) more cookies per second.

To be fair, depending on how high his base CPS is and how many cat upgrades he has, the achievement bonus might tip things the other way.

Yep, down to the decimal it's right. And I've entered all my achievements and my lack of any heavenly chips (just started the game a few days ago).

Does that one still have the research multiplier error? On the globals sheet, there was at least at one point, the wrong upgrade was being calculated. It was kind of easy to spot when looking at the formula.

It'd be fine if you've actually got the upgrade, but otherwise...

It kinda does. First line under golden cookies tells you 20 minutes of production. A little non-effort math will tell you what you need to not spend past.

I prefer this calculator because of the import and the calculations are instant.
