I'm pretty creeped out
I'm really only still "playing" insomuch as I have it idling in my browser. I reset maybe once a week or two now and it jacks up my chips a bunch. Might as well be ready for the next big update

It's never straight up and down!
I'm 6 condensers from 100, which will be my last upgrade, save for the one after the square triangle, whatever that one is. Then I reset again. Need those heavenly cookies!

I think I beat Cookie Clicker. +100 of everything, and I doubt that last mouse pointer upgrade (at 240 hands) is going to do much. All achievements too..I will cash out with like, 400 heavenly chips if I reset right now though.

Ramming people gets them very angry, bombing or rocketing planes feels fantastic, and there's only like five competent tournament teams. Beyond that, I dunno, numbers getting bigger feels good?

The game eventually opens up in a lot of strange, fun ways. If you've read the thread though then you might have spoiled a lot of the surprise. Either way, its one of those things you play on the side or have running while doing something else.

Okay. That's it. I have learned of eons of war and cruelty by human hands, I see the casual brutality and indiffence of people every single day, but this has broken my will. I see no hope or future for the human race anymore.

God Almighty could pull a Sodom and Gemora on all of mankind tomorrow and I would simply watch from my window thinking "Yea, we deserve this.".

It was not the great plagues of Humanity that broke me, it was the japanese porn industry.

Wait 'till you have about 10,000 chips in the bank. My last reset netted me an additional 3,000 chips within about 48 hours of the reset.

Really? I'm at the point that I reset, cash in ~500 chips, and get back to all the upgrades, then repeat. The number of chips doesn't really get any higher, at what point are you resetting?

I reset at 10,000 chips exactly, quickly got up to 3.5 trillion CPS (unboosted), and at 2 days 1 hour I'm at 14,527 (total once I cash in next reset).

Stop getting grandmatriarch upgrades after Exotic Nuts and while your CPS is a little lower, your total number of cookies baked will soar.

I guess I'll just keep on going and see if it improves. 10k chips sounds like fun.

Anyway, I've lurked /r/CookieClicker on Reddit for a bit and just noticed Orteil actually posts on Reddit.

For those who don't want to visit Reddit, here's what he's said about CC development so far:

Orteil posted:

Sorry, I've been distracted by a lot of stuff lately (finally visiting my friend Opti, who does the server/community stuff, playing new games etc). I'm still on the game though, we've just been a bit discouraged by the problems we've been encountering with the mobile port.

Here's the full list of Halloween things that will go away with the next patch :
- pumpkin golden cookie

[popping your first wrinkler could unlock an upgrade that increases the odds of spooky cookies unlocking]
That is actually what I planned for the next patch. Having Spooky cookies makes them drop 5 times more often.

[Question: Are you planning on adding more "levels" to purchasing the buildings? By that I mean "multipliers" when you buy for example farm number 125 and 150 and 200 and 500 and 1000, etc.]
Oh, certainly. Although each of those would need to exist for all the buildings, and getting 500 condensers sounds, uh, not very feasible within the century (I might be wrong though !).

I have at least 3 more buildings planned but I'd like to release them along with a lot more stuff, since they're going to rebalance the rest of the game and people will complain if they don't have other fun new toys to take their mind off the now-useless ACs etc

[New prestige system] will likely have a system where you can buy cool stuff (unique upgrades, cosmetic stuff) with a reset currency (maybe the heavenly chips ?)

[The next update will be released] hopefully within the next few days, and it'll have the factory dungeons and girlscouts. The dungeons won't be fully fleshed-out at launch, I'll keep updating them for a few days !

Spending Heavenly Chips sounds like a bad idea. Something else you get at the same time would be better I think. Or just have all-time ones affect CPS.

Man, I'm so over cookies (burn the heretic!) until Orteil rolls another significant update out. But that xkcd beachclicker game linked some pages back is really cool, once you kind of hurdle over the insane learning curve. I still don't understand everything, but I'm having fun min-maxing and managing different resources at once, working towards new boosts and tools to increase my income to insane levels.

Yeah at first I was like "this is bullshit; it's impossible to get castles!" then I figured out how the newpix work and I was like "ohhhh" and now I feel like there's actually a lot more to do with it than cookie clicker.

I still like the cookie clicker atmosphere and setting better though.

The castle thing just goes so slowly. Clicking (at least until you have some insane upgrades?) is pretty useless, and you can come back after a weekend and have some thousands of castles that allow you to buy a couple tools and an upgrade maybe. Then you just wait some more.

I'm a freakin' blur here!
Yeah, Sandcastle Builder is confusing until you get the hang of a couple things. One thing I had to struggle with initially was the units, especially "mNP" and what that means, so I'll try to explain it.

Every half-hour, on the hour/half hour, the picture of the two stick figures will change to a new picture, or "Newpix." That event is called an "ONG" (it doesn't stand for anything, it's just like a GONG sound) and it activates all your Castle tools as well as some other things. "mNP" is "milli new pix" and it's 1/1000th of 30 minutes, or about 1.8 seconds. Eventually, around Newpix 240, the timer will take a full hour to change over. That's called Longpix, and the mNP length doubles, so everything takes twice as long.

Also, keep an eye out for Redundakitties. They're the Golden Cookie of Sandcastle Builder. Cliking them will give you either a) a boost to your current Castles or b) "Blitzing" which is like Frenzy, it boosts your sand production for a certain amount of time (again measured in mNP.)

I've gotten to Infinite Castles and Infinite Sand/mNP, so I can probably answer all the early-game questions you have ;)
