Every couple of minutes a golden cookie spawns, click it will give you x7 cookie production for 77 seconds, or 10% of your banked cookies.

Check your stats page for heavenly chips. Each one adds a +2% CPS modifier.

They're basically the end game. When you reset you get a CPS multiplier based on how many all-time cookies that you've baked/clicked/whatever.

I tried imagining that cookie clicker was a lot like that scene in Harry Potter 6 where Harry has to force Dumbledore to drink the potion.

"No! I don't want to!"
"Just one more time, professor! You only have to do it one more time and it will all go away."
"Just one more time?"
"One more time..."
Clicks cookie.
"NOOOOO! NOOOOOOO! MAKE IT STOP!!!"

Portals are pretty good as soon as you can conceivably get them. But everything will give you a certain cost to cps ratio that you can bother to figure out with some simple division, or just google the Cookie Monster plugin and it will color code which thing is the most efficient, and give you a timer on when your next golden cookie will pop up. Cookie Monster isn't very good at telling you what upgrades to get though, it only cares about the cost/cps ratio and doesn't factor in time.

Well that seems to take all the fun out of a game that I'll only play for a few days but maybe thats just me not like min maxing and putting a movie on in the background.

Keep buying the researched upgrades and you can reverse it eventually.

EDIT: Red cookies are still worth clicking on average, the good outcomes are rare but they're very good.

Should I reverse it ASAP or does it have some benefits?

On average, golden cookies are superior to the red cookies, despite not having any single bonus as good as elder frenzy.

Jakeman52 posted:

There's Frenzy, which is the 7x CPS bonus for 77 seconds; there's Clicking Frenzy, which is the 777x clicking bonus for 7 seconds; and there's Elder Frenzy, which is the 666x bonus to both CPS and clicking for 6 seconds.

Frenzy is from golden cookies only; Clicking Frenzy can appear in both gold and red form; and Elder Frenzy is only red cookies. Once you start getting red cookies, it seems like they're better on the surface than gold cookies, because even when factoring in Clots and Ruins, Clicking Frenzies are more common from red than gold cookies, plus you get Elder Frenzies, and those are really worth a lot. But, regular gold-cookie Frenzy is really good because once you unlock Get Lucky, you can get Lucky! while Frenzy is active, which means even more cookies if you've got enough in the bank.

Elder Frenzy doesn't affect clicking, except indirectly as a result of the clicking upgrades that are based on CPS, which regular Frenzy does as well.

Clicking Frenzies are more common from red than gold cookies

Not true. With golden cookies it's 3% and change, with red ones it's 2% and change.

As soon as you get access to them red cookies are really really good, since the good far outweighs the bad, but as you get up to the endgame upgrades your CPS isn't really worth jack any more and the golden cookies become much better due to Lucky being much more common.

Oh no, 3200 chips in: you're never done. But with that many Heavenly Chips, it only takes a few minutes to get back to Antimatter Condensers after resetting.

For the planned HC rework, I envision something like a Celestial Convenience Cookie Groceria, where you can buy an assortment of Cps increasing upgrades with your banked Heavenly Chips. The next tier. That'd be so cool.

^^^The warnings that appear only really factor in if you're clicking on golden cookies, which you should be. Try and keep enough cookies banked to match the "Lucky!" Cookies Required (Frenzy): value once you buy the Get Lucky upgrade. Before that, it doesn't matter as much.


That's clearly a waffle, not a cookie :colbert:.
