Yeah, exponential growth is misleading. 190/200 prisms feels like it ought to be 95%, so you feel like you’re “almost there”, and should just hang in a little bit longer. Really, though, you’re only about 25% of the way. Multiple resets are called for. This time around, just grab any achievements you can (though you probably already have all that you can get, at that point). ---

> [@](#): > > It is quite a bonus, no? The achievement itself is only a percent or so increase in production, which is… nice, I guess. The upgrade to double them _would_ be nice, except that I had to wreck all the rest of my infrastructure to get that, so there was no point continuing on before resetting. And just you wait. Eventually, you’ll toil and strive to just barely get that 200th prism… and then within a couple of resets after that, it’ll become routine, just like Kitten Managers is now. ---

Anyone get 200 prisms yet? I’m at 196 ---

I’m only at 185. I could buy one more right now, and probably one or maybe two if I popped all my wrinklers, but I’m into the “save up for chocolate egg” phase of my current game right now (I estimate that it’s optimal to start that phase at approximately halfway to one’s target reset value). Incidentally, I’ve done the math in more detail, and because of HCs scaling as the square root of Baked All Time, the long-term growth of cookies is only quadratic, not exponential. Which means that, absent some significant new updates, 400 cursors or reset with 1 octillion is going to take friggin’ _forever_ (think decades). ---

Dragging this back up again. Cookies all time: 51.979 septillion Heavenly Chips: 10.116 million Golden cookies all time: 44,651 I did write a custom AutoHotKey script that I can make rapidly click the cookie when the system is idle. I can make the window as small as possible and leave my script to click away. Racked up 1.4 million cookie clicks since my last reset less than a day ago. It now takes about 10 hours to go from reset to 200 prisms. But getting the last two achievements, 400 cursors or 1 octillion, is still a long way away. ---

Coincidentally (to the recent bump above), they’ve seemed to have added more cookie upgrades. I now have a huge assortment of macarons…Lemon, Chocolate, Hazelnut…a few others. You might need to refresh your game to see them. ---

Those have been there for a while. Most of the macarons showed up with the same update that gave us Kitten Managers, and the last few have been there for at least a month. ---

Installed cookie monster finally this week after ~8 months of playing and seeing the numbers spelled out has officially made this game a grind. I’m guestimating another… 8 months before maxing out the game? I’m fairly confident the developer is metering out updates accordingly so that nobody maxes out ever. I know I would. 673,982 HC, 14 Quad/s, 200+ of everything except 174 prisms. ---

I was briefly maxed out (100% upgrades, 100% achievements) at one point-- I think before the Christmas update. So if his goal is that nobody ever max out, he’s failed. But yeah, it’s pretty much impossible to catch up now-- It’d take a lot more than 8 more months to get the last two achievements. ---

My current stats, I think there might be a update tomorrow for the 1 year anneversaty. Cookies baked alltime 1.7 septillion Golden cookies alltime 34,242 Heavenly chips 1.713 million currently 45.1 quadrillion cookies per second. Reached Bicentenial achievment 3 weeks ago. Cookies baked this game…207 sextillion ---

Clicked the big cookie 28 times, which was enough for one cursor and the first Heavenly Chip upgrade. That one cursor is now generating 1.675 million cps. ---

I’m at almost 1.5 septillion all-time. I thought my mouse might be wearing out, so I got a new, wireless one. I installed it without un-plugging the old one, and realized that my computer can run with two mice simultaneously. So, when I get a 7x, 666x or 777x golden cookie, I can click one mouse with two fingers and the other with one (I lose control and pop my wrinklers if I try to use 4 fingers). I can click as many as 75 times per refresh- assuming that is 5 seconds, we’re talking 15 clicks per second. So far this game, I have 23.5 sextillion hand-made cookies out of 304 sextillion total. Not a colossal improvement, but it does move the needle. I’m at 1.536 million HCs and 192 prisms. I think I’ll build up to close to 2 million HCs and then reset one more time before going for 200 prisms. It will probably take about another 3 weeks to a month. ---

Now I’m at 27.6 sextillion handmade out of 309. Got a 777x clicking bonus while in a 7x frenzy- that’s really a great combo. ---

I’m at 195 prisms. I think I may go for my second bicentennial. I have 400 sextillion baked this game, I’ll need around 350 sextillion more to reach it. The new update looks like it will have 3 new buildings…sorcerers buildings, temples and banks. He may substitute temples and banks for alchemany labs and portals to make them more powerful though…just a rumor though. ---

No, the top combo is a reindeer during an elder frenzy. Which are actually fairly common, if you have the Golden Goose Egg and make an effort to keep your cookies and deer synchronized. I never even buy pledges at all any more, eldeer are so good. Amusingly, this morning I got an eldeer, and while I was still clicking out the rest of the Elder Frenzy, all of my wrinklers lost their Santa hats. Talk about just-in-time! ---

Talk about just-in-time! I’m not sure if I understand. So you think clicking a reindeer during a x7 is more powerful than a x777 during a x7? Even if you click a reindeer during a x777, I don’t think you get anything more if you were in a x7. What is a elder frenzy, is that a x777? I’m not sure what you mean about pledges. I constantly stay in the stage where your cps is at it’s highest. Is it better to stay in a different stage? Somebody was talking about what you described in the cc forum but I didn’t understand what they were talking about.
