Well, after about a week and one reset I finally got every achievement. I'm done with the game, right guys?

Right?

It's not like I really need to see what happens now if I start over again with 270 more heavenly chips or anything.

But your new cps will be sky-high! Well, even sky-higher than it is now.

I wonder if there are any limits on anything where the game just breaks down and "ends" like the error screen in Pac-Man

This game has broken my mind. I'm basicly sleeping worse and seeing nightmares of not clicking that friggin' cookie. Funny thing is; I thought I got free. Wasn't playing for couple weeks and came here to post that... then i clicked the cookie just for fun and saw all the updates and here I go again.

I've seen some stuff that would really make you say "like what?"
So, I was refreshing my main game window trying to see if I could get my save exported to the beta (I couldn't) but then this happened, and I'm not really sure how-



I don't even know what that number represents.

Cookiemonster says that if I reset I could get 12.172 Sp chips :psyduck:

e: also cookiemonster parses my total cookies as 427.000 Dc

It looks like the game gave you a golden cookie chain of length 61 for some reason. If you don't have an exported save to revert to you'll probably have to cheat it back to something sane or you'll be stuck at meaninglessly huge numbers forever.

Yeah, I got 200, and my number didn't even change from 470.000 Dc. I think I am going to try soft resetting and seeing how stupid the chips make it, then I'm gonna go from there. I'm definitely gonna keep the save because I want to see what happens when you have a girlscout with 1000 factories once the dungeons are in the main game.

No one cares about challenge, the only thing anyone cares about is cookies, specifically getting more of them.

Dude, I just started playing this like 25 minutes ago and I can already tell I won't be studying for the test I have tomorrow as much as I should be. Imma be cooking clickies like a motherfucker. I got 235.8 cookies per second and IT'S NOT ENOUGH! I NEED AT LEAST 1,000,000 cookies per second and nothing else will satisfy me! And when I get to 1,000,000 I know I'll then need to get 1,000,000,000 per second and so on and so on.

Edit: holy poo poo shipments give +100 CPS?! I need more of them, I need more of them NOW!

Also, finally bought enough cursors to completely outline the cookie. I realize that I could have spent those cookies on far more efficent things but having it completely surrounded just feels right.

Actually cursors are really effcient.

Cursors, Grandmas, Farms, and Portals are the most efficient buildings.

Farms? Farms are probably the single most worthless building. I have 150 of them for a grand total of 3k Cps. Cursors, Grandmas, and everything from portals on are what you need. Everything else is simple cursor support.

Farms are good because they usually end up being the cheapest building (because they're worthless), and then you get the cursor upgrade that gives each cursor +100 CpS for each building you own, and suddenly they become amazing.

Of course, they still show as having low CpS, because that big increase shows up under cursors instead of farms.

Ramengank

EDIT: pretty much beaten by everyone

Farms did indeed receive a buff with the latest update. Along with their shiny new upgrade and an increase in their base production, they now have a CpS of 80 instead of 20 (before multipliers). Of course their most useful role is still in being a (relatively) cheap way to boost all your cursors.


PS: Viggy you need to refresh to get the latest update if your farms are still 20 CpS on their own. You should be getting 12k CpS from them, not 3k.

Farms have a really amazing Cost to CPS ratio and are cheap as dirt to support cursors.

That are amazingly efficient even if they aren't super productive.

200 farms producing 16,000 cps, so 80 CPS each.

Now, factor in all of my cursor upgrades and my 200 farms are actually producing 4.5m CPS each.

So yeah that's p intense.

But then that means that all of my portals are producing 4.5m extra as well and it becomes kind of moot.

Man you could just do a hard reset and this game would feel exactly the same, aside from a bit of endgame Golden Cookie stuff. As long as that cps keeps going up at a rate relative to your current cps it all feels good.
