Cookie Clicker

This update is crazy.

Heavenly chips nerf sucks, I guess they just want to get it to a point where it gives you your progress back rather than actually being a viable scaling strategy, but people with chips will lose a lot of CpS by refreshing. It's ok because antimatter condensers and the Kitten Overseers are absolutely crazy, so anyone at the point where losing their chips will make a difference will be able to quickly make that CpS back and more. I was able to go from 600 million CpS to 2 billion CpS very easily and pick up Get Lucky after refreshing (would've gotten it when I woke up but my laptop charger is loose so I lost a night of idling T_T), then farmed for a bit today and got the Kitten Overseers. I'm now at 9 billion CpS and saving for more condensers + the cookie upgrades.
 
omg....I haven't even got 100 time machines yet and they add a new one z!

edit: ok well i just got like 400 mil more cps with like 9 trillion so maybe it's ok.
 
imo just go for the condensers/get lucky/kittens, once you're at that point you'll be able to get them relatively easily with patience
 
You could use AutoHotkey to alter the RMB to function like LMB temporarily (or middle click or any other button), or try Zracknel's tip (use something that vibrates powerfully to apply pressure, if your LMB is still semifunctional)

Or get a new mouse =P
 
I reset but my heavenly chips went from 40% to 22% :(. The antimatter condesner are pretty good though so they make up for the loss.

CpS 509 million
174 cursors
125 grandmas
100 farms
100 factories
100 mines
100 shipments
92 alchemy labs
73 portals
60 time machines
35 antimatter condesners.

What should I do from here on as a strategy??
 
Do you have Get Lucky? If not, it is your first priority. If you don't have it in the shop, stalk the tab until you've clicked on 77 Golden Cookies. Actively click Golden Cookies as often as you can as they scale well and make a real difference. If you have Get Lucky, you can get a Frenzy cookie and then while the Frenzy is still in effect get a Lucky! cookie, getting 7x a normal Lucky!. I am at 9.5 trillion CpS (saving up) and have 342 trillion atm and my Lucky! in Frenzy is 80 trillion cookies. You can also get Frenzy + Clicking Frenzy stack.

Once you have it, save for the Kitten Overseers. I got 50 Antimatter Condensers before going for the Kitten Overseers so I could buy the pink upgrade. It takes awhile to save, but that time is dramatically reduced if you are actively clicking Golden Cookies. It took me like eight hours while I watched Arrested Development and chatted on IRC. It will roughly double your CpS. After that, buy more Antimatter Condensers and work towards the Time Machine and Antimatter Condenser achievements while working at the Cookie upgrades at your leisure*.

To optimally farm the Frenzy/Lucky! combo, you need a certain amount of cookies in bank based on your CpS. I forget the math for this but it's easy to look up, it should be on the wiki or on r/CookieClicker or anywhere, really. You should save up to this amount before spending all your cookies in order to optimise your farming (ASSUMING you are clicking actively and not leaving it to idle), but it's fine imo to empty your coffers for Kitten Overseers since the gain is so huge and it's especially costly.

*I strongly recommend you install the addon Cookie Monster. It does a lot of math that is possible for a human to do but automatically, which saves so much time lategame when it's overwhelming to deal with some formulae. It does have an inbuilt Golden Cookie indicator so you know when to click, but if you feel that is cheating then you can disable it. It comes with no other cheats. I consider Cookie Monster completely vanilla and I caved today because I needed to keep calculating how many cookies I required to optimise my Frenzy chains, it's the same as using a spreadsheet or something to automate the math. Cookie Monster will calculate for you how many cookies you need for Lucky and Frenzy to be totally optimal, how much you pay per cookie for anything purchasable (more or less), how many seconds idling is required to purchase something (which is useful, although you can shave it by a lot by playing actively and clicking the Golden Cookie), etc. There's a point when buying another building is eclipsed by buying an upgrade, and so on, and Cookie Monster will help you find this out.

eta: I'm surprised your CpS is so low with those items. Have you purchased all the upgrades / unlocked all the achievements that are readily attainable right now? Milk makes a big difference, as do the income modifiers. If you're using the Elder Covenant, you should turn it off at some point and just keep buying Elder Pledges if you intend to click cookies (and get the upgrade that makes them last longer), I found out they're capped at a certain price which is negligible so no point giving up 5% CpS.

... my next upgrade to buy is the elder pact one. I've been more or less buying them in order. I only have 18 trillion total cookies so far also. I don't even have the pledge available yet, I'm not so far on this game. My milk is 312% and I have 79/103 upgrades. Unfortunately I have little patience to save up for big things.

Right now get lucky is available but it will take way too long to get it so I will buy "large macaroon collider" which is the third antimatter condenser upgrade, doubling their efficiency.

CpS 530 million now grrrr....
 
Your CpS is pretty good, it's about where I was before I reset (-100m CpS) so I was kind of surprised because at that point I'd bought everything except Get Lucky :x Probably saved up longer than you though, I'd stopped buying anything that really increased my CpS due to the price of Time Machines.
 
These anti matter condensers are ridiculous. Also 100% agree on Cookie Monster. My CPS is just at a completely ridiculous level. Still have ~4000 chips though which helps, even after the nerf. 514 billion cps.
 
Just going to say, I severely underestimated golden cookies. I got Cookie Monster and have been clicking them for ~6 hours and I've made like 7 tril. Also ~3.5 bil cps and counting, will take a while still z_z
 
4000 chips? Damn dude, were you just saving up cookies since 1.0 came out? I hard reset when achievements came out and was playing practically religiously since (although I didn't even bother trying to math it out) and yet I was nowhere close to getting that much before the nerf.

I agree that this update has been insane. I went from around 2-3 billion cps WITH Frenzy to 14.5 billion WITHOUT Frenzy in just a single day, and I worked today so that's not even optimized. I've gained over 2 quadrillion (that's what comes after trillion, right? what are those amount names even called?) total cookies in one day when it took me however long since the achievement update to get the first...

*EDIT*
I just made over 700 trillion cookies in a single Clicking Frenzy/Frenzy combo... Holy shit.

Yeah I just had like 1.5 quadrillion cookies before buying stuff. I've made 3 or 4 quadrillion in the last day and a half. I have 20 billion CpS and well on the way to increasing that now. Absolutely insane. :s I have my Time Machine achievement now and have all upgrades except the Elder Covenant (which I revoked to buy Elder Pledges instead of wasting CpS) and my next Antimatter Condenser will give me 251 million CpS. I needed another hit, so yea.

omg @ Coronis's chips, how long have you been playing lol
 
I only need 5 more cursors... 5 more... :( please let me get enough cookies for them.... waiting 1000 seconds for each is killing me...

I spent a lot on anti matter cookie machines too :(
 
Cookie Monster is so useful :eek: Can't wait to 'Get Lucky', if you get my pun. SHould be Gettin' Lucky tonight
EditL I Got Lucky :D

coolbiz That seems pretty low... You might be missing some of the better upgrades. Try to get all of the Kitten upgrades asap as they are incredibly powerful when you have them all and a good number of achievements. The cookie upgrades (the ones that add 5-20% to your cps) are also excellent. Golden cookie upgrades are also high priority, especially Get Lucky as that allows you to easily get Frenzy + other-effect combos going.

everybody else: Yo dawg, I heard you like cookies, so here's a Cookie Clicker shmup fangame so you can make cookies while you make cookies.
 
My antimatter condensers cost >1 quadrillion now

Normally I'd be scared of this but I have 9 to go and it's not that hard to grind lol

I've baked 15 quadrillion cookies and nearly all of that was since the update. >.> (Like 14.5). For reference, I reset with 750 trillion cookies (wasn't farming Golden Cookies though, didn't have Get Lucky either) lol. FEELS GOOD

coolbiz: MagicMaster87 is correct, you need upgrades (and achievements). There comes a point where buying an upgrade for a building is more efficient than buying one more of that building. Purchasing the kitten upgrades (that's why you need achievements) and cookie-themed income modifiers (as they become more efficient) is absolutely necessary to scale. I'm at 27 billion CpS, and that's with a roughly 2850% modifier. I have all the upgrades. My 91 antimatters by themselves ignoring modifiers are making less than 1b CpS of that, but with the modifiers applied to them a single antimatter condenser contributes 251m CpS (for comparison: base 1m -1 w/o upgrades, 8.7m w/ upgrades). As you can see, those upgrades and achievements are REALLY important.

Later on you should also acquire Get Lucky so you can grind more cookies and thus more antimatter condensers to abuse your crazy modifiers with. (posts earlier in the thread talk about that).

Don't worry, by the way -- idling is useful, but I've been there with a broken fan. Just idle through the day and click Golden Cookies when you can, my Frenzy! + Lucky combo is optimised atm and yields 227 trillion cookies in one go, which makes it really easy to afford everything. You won't plateau for quite some time yet, you'll keep scaling like crazy with upgrades and be able to afford more stuff. Install Cookie Monster if you need~
