I’d go for the synergies. They certainly help out considerably.

Yeah, Synergies Vol. 1 has one prism-booster, but Vol. 2 has three of them.

Permanent upgrade slots aren’t worth nearly as much as you’d think, because if you were able to reach an upgrade once, you’ll be able to reach it again, even more quickly, the next run. All they really do is make it quicker to get back up to speed on a fresh ascension.

I’m currently on all of the significant prestige upgrades except Chimera. I haven’t yet bothered with Five-Fingered Discount, Custom Milk, or Custom Wallpaper, because they do basically nothing. And honestly, I’m starting to fade out from the game: I hardly ever de-mininize it any more. Once I pick up Chimera, I expect that I’ll just close it, and maybe re-open it once a week to keep the higher angel rate.

3 weeks later and finally got 300 Antimatter condensers. 5 achievements to go, and I’m sure they will all be a major grind.

I got it too, but man, the diminishing returns at this point are… substantial. Only just creeped over 400 septillion CpS yet need so, so, so much more to be able to even contemplate a run for an undecillion baked. I really wanted to be able to complete this game but it’s going to take _years_, I realize now. Sigh.

I just reset after getting 300AC’s, but I was only at 180ish Septillion Cps. How often do you reset? I’ve been doing it at about every million or so prestige.

I should note that’s with the golden switch on. Roughly similar frequency of ascension, with 49 total ascensions and ~20 million prestige.

Meanwhile, I’ve had the game closed entirely for the past two weeks, as it was just getting to be so much of a resource hog that I couldn’t do _anything_ else at the same time, not even just surfing other sites. I didn’t even bother changing my second aura to milk, because it was just too much of a pain to even un-minimize it.

Ah, golden switch. I forget what I was at with it on.

I’m at about 20 million prestige as well, but only 30 ascensions.

Huh, I don’t see it as a resource hog…

I finally got the kitten specialists, I may reset soon. I reset roughly after I reach the same amount I had before (so basically I double the total amount of cookies before resetting).

Version 2.002 is up.

Changes I’ve seen: Frenzies for individual buildings, new timers, new pulsating golden cookies, cookie upgrades fly out of the big cookie when you click it.

What other changes are there?

3 new achievements - click a golden cookie within a second of it appearing, within a second of it disappearing (both relatively easy to get during a cookie chain), and get an eldeer. Also 3 more prestige upgrades - 2 of which are for a 10% increased production multiplier and one is a 1% chance to double golden cookies (not sure if this can affect an effect like Frenzy, or only the ones that give a straight number of a cookies). Also one of the new golden cookie effects is a cookie storm where tons of golden cookies pop up on the screen (they all give straight cookies).

Still running my game and have 254/256 achievements. Need 100 decillion and 1 undecillion baked in a session, both of which are totally ludicrous. Currently 1.246 octillion CpS and 64.183 decillion CBAT.

I only producing 258 septillion cps (with the golden cookie switched on) and have 4.7 decillion cbat. Got 55/59 prestige (I had almost completed them before 2.002) and 251/256 achievements (still need 300 prisms, 100 ascensions, the two big cookie bakers and the new eldeer to complete).

One question. I have 16.3 million prestige levels. Am i right in thinking the 5% boost to that is the best second dragon aura to have up? Given I don’t have the time or patience to actively play now much. At a certain level of prestige it surely must be - but at 16.3m?

No, the +5% to kittens is always better. I have around 40M prestige and when I tried switching from kittens to the prestige boost to check, I lost about 20% of my production. Huge difference.

Thanks! Yes - a 24% boost.

I should have done a test as soon as I had two aura going but at least I have only had to sac a 34 nonillion prism rather than one when I was near to 300.

I may be on a long run to try to get 300 prisms, will check when I get to 290 how much longer it will take…

You can always just save (better to wait for the auto-save if you have it on) and refresh the page afterwards to return to your save point. That’s also the best way to get all the holiday upgrades quickly on a new game.

300 prisms took me about a month.

I’ve been limiting my runs to about a week or 10 days or so (about 1-1.5 million prestige) which only ever usually gets me up to 280 prisms. I figure at this rate, I’ll be able to get to 300 prisms in a week just about the time I get close 100 ascensions (on 48 now). Of course, 52 weeks is a god damn year.
