I bought a gaming mouse the other day, with the intention of using its superior mousing power to play actual games. Now I'm using these lovely Omron switches to click loving cookies.

I used to have a gaming mouse with a nice "triple-click" button that I absolutely abused when playing TF2. I gave it to my brother once the scroll wheel stopped working and have since been content with regular one-tap-one-click mice.

I miss that mouse so god-drat much right now!

I'm on 254 chips and it's going so slow for the last compressors. I'm just going to save up until I can get 500 Heavenly Chips total, at least I get a sense of progress when rebuilding my Cookie Empire. This waiting for quadrillions doesn't scratch the same itch.

I got 100 of everything on under 50 chips. Took a while, but then the reset kicked me up to 276. If there's only 10 left, may as well stick it out.

I finally got all 100's across the board, with 150 grandma's and 200 pointers.

Then reset. 270 heavenly chips.

Now i'm back to 150/150/100/100/100/100/90/70/50/30, with 67 upgrades purchased.

All in under 4 hours.

Yeah, heavenly chips are insane.

I was chugging along with 40 chips until I got 100 of everything, then I reset after a long while and got 500 chips, then I reset again and I'm at 4000.

I now have 1 quintillion cookies, and I'm going to keep resetting as I reach my old goal.

My last reset was with 1800 chips, had my first compressor in under 10 minutes. Chips are great, yeah.

When do you guys stop making stuff as soon as it builds and start gathering cookies for the lucky/frenzy lucky thresholds? I find that's when my resets tend to stall as I wait to fill the huge lucky threshold with a relatively piddly CPS.

I tend to let it happen when I have to leave the computer for some reason.

The last time I had to do it was around 3qa, though. It might be even more annoying now. When I did decide, it was because buying stuff as soon as I could was taking forever. So instead I let it take forever to get enough cookies that I could use combos to build quickly.

5 antimatter condensers to go.. 2.5Qa in the bank.. Next condenser is 2.3 Qa.. Do I reset now, collect 230 chips and go at it again, or do I HTFU and wait it out until I can get the last three achievements (100 condensers, 100 of everything, reset with 1 Qa cookies).. It's probably around 20 Qa to get 5 more condensers and I'm at 30B cps. :ohdear:

The last condenser is a hair over 4 quadrillion if I remember right. If you feel you can't wait for that then resetting now would probably be better.

Exactly. I'd suggest not doing it unless you get at least a hundred out of it though. I did it with 10 and all I got was disappointment flavoured cookies.

I go for the lucky threshold after getting the first 2 golden cookie upgrades and the frenzied lucky threshold after getting the final one.

Going from 200 minutes banked to 1400 minutes banked takes 20 hours (minus any manual clicking) regardless of the size of your CpS since it's directly proportional to your CpS. Best to do it early so you're getting the maximum out of your GCCs when the absolute numbers are larger.

The last upgrade doubles the duration of things (most importantly, the x7 frenzy). The upgrades before it increase frequency. So it's possible to get a golden cookie to show up under the x7 frenzy bonus. I just got the x777 clicking bonus on top of the x7 frenzy bonus and got about 300T in 20 seconds.

It's not the only way. With both cooldown reduction upgrades, it's possible to get a 79 second respawn timer on the golden cookie. So you'd need to click a frenzy, and then get a 79 second timer for the next one, and then click the next cookie within 2 seconds of it spawning and hope that it was a lucky one.

I see, thanks. A lucky cookie gives you 10% of your current cookies or 1200x your dps. So if you get a lucky cookie while under the influence of frenzy you could get 10% of your current cookies or 7x 1200x (8400x) your dps then right?

Pizzatime
Apr 1, 2011

Also the "Lucky!" golden cookies that just give you a bunch of cookies are limited by your cps. So if you get one of those golden cookies while still having a "Frenzy!" cookie active, you can get a whoooole lot of cookies if your bank is full enough. I think it's up to 20 minutes worth of your cps, which would be 7 times of 20 minutes worth of your regular cps with just a single click!

e: or I could've just said "yes."

Correct. For that reason, you always want a minimum of 84000x your CPS (once you have Get Lucky) on hand so you can maximize the payout of a Frenzied Lucky golden cookie.

You guys are using different amounts of zeroes there. The correct value is 12,000 x cps for regular lucky cookies, and 84,000 x cps for lucky + frenzy cookies (12,000 x 7 x cps).

gently caress it. I've got an export from way back during my first run, I'll just load that and get my True Neverclick again later.

Raspberry Milk, potential 7 heavenly chips, 77/103 upgrades. It'll be a long run back, but this is definitely a better start than absolute scratch.

EDIT: Also no Condensers, since this is from way before those were a thing. Straight up to 20.

\/\/\/ Eh, it would just be a 14% boost. I'm going to build it up just a bit more, portals at least are just under 100.

If you have 0 heavenly chips you really ought to reset at least once; the boost makes things go by so fast

It's six of one and a half dozen of the other. A Lucky Cookie gives you the lesser of 10% of your current cookies on hand OR 1200x your CPS. A Frenzied Lucky Cookie gives you the lesser of 10% of your current cookies on hand OR 8400x your CPS. Therefore, to get the max amount of cookies, you need either 12000x (1200 * 10) or 84000x (8400 * 10) of your CPS on hand so that you get that instead of 10% of your on-hand (which is very likely less)
