So there’s a very high chance you’ll get another golden cookie during the frenzy, and if it happens to be clicking frenzy you have a whopping x5439 to your click rate for 26 seconds. Obviously, at this point you want to mash click like no tomorrow. OOOOOOO! I didn’t know you could double up those. Definitely will make a difference! ---

The number of cookies released from a wrinkler doesn’t increase if you pop it during a frenzy, does it? ---

Lucky cookies don’t actually care whether you have wrinklers: They’re based on the pre-wrinkling production. And if you’re in Christmas season (I assume that’s the default right now, and the best single season to be in anyway), there’s also the possibility of snagging a reindeer during an Elder Frenzy, which is at least competitive with a Frenzy Click Frenzy. So that’s a point in favor of red cookies. ---

Hot damn! I just figured out how the wrinklers really work – basically, they multiply your apparent cps by 6 once you have ten of them. I have crossed the trillion cps threshold and obtained Kitten Overseers. I think at this point I am going to step back and just let it run until tomorrow night, when I will have some time to focus on it, and then reset. By then I should be cashing in well over 500 quadrillion, which should make it fairly easy to get all the achievements for having 200 of everything. Maybe then I’ll stop… ---

The prices go up exponentially. I have 110 prisms at the moment and just adding 1 more costs 345 quadrillion. My base CpS of 25 trillion is chicken feed. ---

IIRC, the scaling is such that to add five more of any building costs about as much as you’ve spent on all the buildings of that sort you’ve ever bought. So if it took you two weeks to get your current number of prisms, then it’ll take you another two weeks to get five more. ---

Ok, I’ve been “playing” this thing for a week and have only ever seen one (1) single golden cookie. What gives? Only started seeing reindeer yesterday, but they are fairly consistently showing up now. ---

Only started seeing reindeer yesterday, but they are fairly consistently showing up now. A good way to make it easier is to make the window that the game is in really small. Make it a small square or so and then have it be beside your usual internet-surfing window. The Golden Cookies will show up just in that small box, it’s really noticeable. ---

Is there anything to what you name your cookie bakery? I noticed that the random name generator kept coming up familiar first and last names and wondered if there was something about if you picked the right two-name combination. At first I thought having had ALL possible names was an achievement, but I’ve kept track and currently know of about 65 first names and 54 second names, so that would be a lot of name combinations to go through (and I’m far from sure I’ve even found all first and last names yet). ---

One of the achievements is “Uncanny Clicker”, which I looked up and it requires five clicks in a third of a second. Since there’s no way I can do that manually, and since the game actually has an achievement for “Cheating”, I installed a rapid clicker that the game registers as about a hundred clicks per second (the clicker is supposedly faster than that, but I think the game is cycle-limited). Makes leveling up MUCH faster. 😃 I reset the game this morning (with achievements kept) and got up to a trillion cookies per second in one morning. :D:D ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > How does that work? Do they start getting more productive relative to the other buildings as the game progresses? Cursors’ production is pegged to how many overall buildings you have. When you have just scads of buildings, each cursor will produce a ton of cookies. Grandmas are scaled by how many grandmas there are, and also the number of portals. Eventually it is a big effect. You won’t see it for a long time. ---

Ok, while my clicker cheat allowed me to level up much faster, I still have hit a wall where there doesn’t seem to be any real way to advance further. Here’s my stats: Current income: 3.873 trillion per second. 4 resets for a total of 1800 Heavenly Chips 10 Quadrillion Cookies baked (maximum achievement). 1 Trillion Cookies per second (maximum achievement). 1 Quadrillion Cookies from clicking (maximum achievement). Own 1500 Buildings (maximum achievement). Purchase 150 Upgrades (maximum achievement). Upgrades Unlocked: 161/216 (75%) Achievements Unlocked: 119/159 (75%) Milk: 468% Caramel Milk Santa: Final Claus (maximum achievement). Misc. single Achievements: Uncanny Clicker, Cookie-dunker, Tiny Cookie, bakery given a name, Sell a Grandma, all Christmas-themed cookies. According to the Achievement chart there is at least one level of buildings beyond 200. 500? 1000? And I’m already at the point where everything costs at least a trillion to advance ONE step. The only shop item left is the Kitten Manager at 837.9 **quint** illion. Even a Frenzy-with-Click-Frenzy only gets me maybe 60 quadrillion. If I let the wrinklers accumulate interest all night they might give me a quintillion or two. I’d need to _square_ my income to buy anything more, and no apparent way to do it. There a few achievements for clicking high numbers of Golden Cookies, Reindeer and wrinklers, and they occur rarely enough that it would take forever. The last time I reset, I didn’t get anywhere near as many Heavenly Chips as I’d hoped. Any advice?
