No. I’m not going to nevermind. Tell us what you were going to say.

I bought the 77T upgrade. My cookies aren’t appearing faster. I must conclude you type really slow!

ETA: Oh, but it does make them last longer. Should I ditch the red cookies?

Ha!

Still playing, after five-six days now. Might do another reset. At this point it would add about 20 more heavenly chips to my total.

Am I missing something? Is that it? Not really getting the addicting part of this. Or the fun part.

Luckily, all my Facebook clicky game experience has conditioned my index and middle finger so I can frenzy click for the whole 60 seconds, switching fingers if one gets fatigued. 🙂

Using a laptop, I click the mouse with my right hand and the keypad with my left. Drives my wife crazy. 😃

I’m still playing too!

I have every achievement now except for the 777 golden cookie clicks (and all the shadow achievements).

I have 284 heavenly chips. It takes me less than an hour of play now from resetting to getting my first antimatter condenser! 😃

How many chips are you up to?

Oh and when I said “nevermind” up there in the edited post, it was because I was speculating about combining a Frenzy with an Elder Frenzy which would be difficult to pull off but theoretically possible. Except I found out online that it isn’t possible. If you DO manage to get a rare Elder Frenzy while in a Frenzy (almost impossible in and of itself by the way golden and red cookies work), the Elder Frenzy just takes precedence and the Frenzy goes away. Dang!

OK, first of all, this is a stupid, pointless time waster that nobody should bother with.

Second, I’m currently at 15.4 billion CpS, have 3.8 quadrillion cookies baked all time, have all the upgrades and all but 7 achievements (not counting shadow achievements). Of the 7 remaining, I’ll probably have 5 by the end of the day (100 time machines (currently 93), and all four of the “reset” achievements). I figure I’ll reset when I reach 5.05e15 cookies, which should give me 100 heavenly chips. I don’t think I want to invest the time it will take to bank enough to buy 100 antimatter condensers (which will trigger the last two achievements) without that boost.

Third, damn you all.

I get distracted easily.

My back of the envelope math tells me that Golden Cookies would be better if you have a huge bank of cookies, to take advantage of the maximum Frenzy/Lucky combo, while the red cookies would be better with a smaller bank to minimize the penalty of the Ruin.

I need 1.561 Qa cookies right now to get the maximum Frenzy/Lucky combo, but with red cookies, I would only need to keep 222T for the maximum Lucky. The big boasts from the red cookies (x666 production and x777 clicks) don’t depend on your bank, and Lucky, Ruin and Clot basically cancel each other out. So you don’t need to keep up a bank to take advantage of the red cookies.

I have it on good authority that the known universe is now jammed with cookies. No vacancies!

I don’t get this game at all. Perhaps it doesn’t work on the iPad, so I’ll try it on my laptop tomorrow. But if anyone can help me get this to work on my iPad and explain to me what I’m supposed to be doing, that would be great. I want to become addicted to something!

It’s energy companies convincing you to leave your computer on all night. Other than that, I’m with you bro.

I’m happy to say that I have beaten this addiction. I played non stop for four days, did two soft resets, and was able to finally get 100 condensers and get all upgrades and achievements. That was enough for me to lost interest, thanks god!

I’m cooking along at 1 CPS. In 126 years I’ll be able to get some really cool upgrades.

I think I f-ed it up somehow. I can’t get the elder achievements because my grandmother’s aren’t revolting. They were rebelling in the last pass, but then I did a reset before I calmed them down and since… nothing.

Have you bought the Bingo Hall? Have you bought all of the bingo-generated upgrades, including One Mind and Communal Brainsweep? Buying One Mind is what starts the Grandmapocalypse, and buying the Brainsweep is what brings them to “Angry” and lets you start buying the appeasements.

I’ve bought everything, I think. I’m at 119 quadrillion cookies and generating them at a clip of ~65 billion/second. I’ve bought enough crap so that any 1 item (cursor, farm, antimatter generator) costs in excess of 1 quadrillion cookies.

For some reason, the achievement for 100 upgrades hasn’t been awarded though I have over 100 of everything (including 243 cursors, 215 grandmothers, etc.)
