Actually, you’ll be damned if you do understand the appeal.
According to my spreadsheet, you are correct. Those 3 are the absolute worst investments imaginable (especially the farms wow are they mindbogglingly bad investments). But you do get achievements for getting 100 of each of them, so do that at the very least I say when you have the cookies to spare.
Shipments are not much better, tbh. And you are correct. Cursors and Grandmas are great investments if you have upgraded them a lot.
Uh oh!
I think I may have made it to the game changing event that Idle Thoughts was hinting about.
Was it the One Mind upgrade? It warned me it would all be downhill from there if I did it, and now the news is giving me lots of scary warnings about old ladies! I exported a save just before doing this. Should I go back and undo it it?
[spoiler]Yeah, that’s the start of some big changes, although nothing game ending. One major change with it is you’ll start to get a new cookie, a red one.
The red cookie does everything a golden cookie does, only it has the chance to do THREE of its own things as well (One very, very good (although rare) thing…and two actually pretty bad things). So you take your own risk when clicking it.
Right now you’ll get red cookies every so often and golden cookies mostly, but with each upgrade from here on, well…red cookies will show up more and more and golden cookies will eventually never show up.
Don’t want to spoil anything else for you, but let’s just say not all hope is lost, though. Keep playing.
Up to you if you want to go back and wait on buying “One Mind” (I did) until you’re a bit more powerful with your cookies, but some upgrades (more powerful ones) can ONLY be gotten after buying the “One Mind” one.[/spoiler]
Eat your hat. now
Really, non addicting and pointless.
The save system is really annoying. I just lost everything and back down to zero.
I don’t know if I’ll come back to it.
Dear Idle Thoughts,
I am presently playing your addicting game.
In doing so I am ignoring my guests except for my best friend who has pulled out his laptop and is now playing the game.
Food is still relatively interesting but conversation is a waste of time that I could be spending managing my cookie kingdom. I may consider ending this game when I get to the point where I am asking my fiancee to run out to the supermarket for a package of Depends, but not if I haven’t purchased an Antimatter Condenser first.
I would like to ask for your home address so that I may employ a band of ninjas to come to your house and chastise you harshly.
Sincerely,
Gagundathar the Inexplicable
Damn, that sucks. What browser are you using? I’ve heard some people lose their saves in Firefox, but IE, Opera, and Chrome seem to be fine.
Hey, now…I warned ya. Even Hal put that warning in the second post.
So hand me a package of Depends that you have and…
…I’ve been away from the game too long. Forget the rest of the post. :eek:
I seriously have no idea how you guys mix/max this game. My OCD won’t allow me to do anything but buy the currently cheapest item. I know it’s wrong, but it’s all I can do.
Chrome.
Do you have to export the save and keep that stupid jumble of letters everytime you close the browser?
As far as I know, no…it should just start back up again where you left off when you go back to the game page.
That’s going to result in you wasting huge boatloads of money, especially in regards to Farms, Factories, Mines and even Shipments.
My advice? Pretend those 4 don’t even exist (except for purposes of getting 100 of each for the achievement). Don’t waste your money on getting any of those past 100!!!
I mean, theoretically there will be a point where the best investment would be to buy another Farm for me… but that’s so ridiculously far away I think I’d have to own 100,000 of everything else before that point.
IE seems to be working a lot better for some reason.
Oh, thank you for this. I was getting bored with Fishdom, it was getting tedious earning fish and ornaments for the aquariums I created.
Damn game has been running for 7 hours on my browser. Thank you very much Idle Thoughts…
Faster. Must go faster! More, more, more!
You with your spreadsheets… game goes too fast. I just feel what’s right to buy next…
Click those golden cookies - click!
There’s a few things to buy that I realize are stupid because they won’t pay back for a long time (if ever) but fuck it, I need those achievements.
It’s fine to buy for achievements-- achievements give you milk, which is a multiplier. But right now, I’ve got 100 grandmas, who produce 327k Cps, while my 100 farms give 2k Cps. Just pay attention to your return on investment.
Yeah, grandmas are good.
