Cookie Clicker! The most addictive game ever.

Yes but is it worth it? Will it add to my CPS or is it just a distraction?
It may seem like you're making less cookies when you're doing it, especially if you lose some cookies, but you'll make up more than you lose on the other end. Going through the process will give you access to certain upgrades and achievements which will increase your CPS. And the wrinklers form a nice piggy bank as I mentioned before.

I'm coming up on about exactly one week since I wiped my save and started from scratch. It'll be about an hour and a half from now, but I can't wait until then to post as I'll be going up to bed soon. I've managed to so far still not click the big cookie a single time. Just purchased my first Prism.

I'm still not understanding what ascending got you for your trouble. What was the benefit?

*I'm not trying to argue, I'm seriously asking. I'm at 43+ legacy and am still debating on ascending.

Hover over your stats points (a little black box) for Legacy, and it will tell you how much % of +CPS you get for ascending and how many prestige points. When you ascend, your CPS starts out at a much faster rate (by %), and things gain speed much much faster. In a matter of a few hours, you are past were you were in days the old life gave you.

Cool thanks! :beckett_new049:

It looks like I get 1% for every legacy level I have when I ascend. So with 43 legacy I will get 43% CPS of my previous amount. I will also get 43 Heavenly chips to use. So I'm thinking I will let it continue to build for now and I won't ascend until I come close to maybe 100%. We'll see though.

Please note that I did not ascend. I wiped my progress completely and started over. You guys should be well ahead of me by now. Especially that cheater @Overmind One. :P

Oh okay, I forgot that was an option. I haven't cheated at all yet despite the fact that there are periods where it's ungodly slow going. And the upgrades I have available seem overpriced and kinda pointless. I mean, adding 2% CPS doesn't do much other than deplete my bank. As it is I don't see the point in working to 50 quadrillion only to spend it on an upgrade for Ladyfingers that gives me like 3%. And is that only an increase in those specific cookies? Does it add 3% across the board?

That's why I might activate the One Mind option, to make the game more exciting.

If you were to ascend now you'd have enough to buy a few heavenly upgrades. I don't wanna give too much away because finding things out for yourself is part of the fun. There is one upgrade which I find particularly interesting which costs 100 heavenly chips. It would allow you to keep one upgrade of your choice after reincarnating and it will be active right from the start. You can only select an upgrade which you have already achieved. It is important to spend some time considering the options as your choice will have a big impact on the next run. O and don't forget you need one chip to unlock the heavenly upgrade system itself. So I'd say be sure to have at least 101 chips when you ascend. And think about which upgrade would be most useful to you. ;)

Yeah it's 3% across the board. It adds to your CPS. If you don't think it's worth it buying it now, spend it on other things or save up for more. At some point that thing will seem cheap to you.

Hey can you post a screenshot of your progress so far?

I am not cheating anymore. :) The game is fun to play without cheating, and has some replay value, but I will admit that there is a limit at the very high end. I need to wipe everything and begin afresh. I ascended many times and had MILLIONS of prestige points and was able to increase my ascended CPS by more than + 1 million %. The top building is still the Chancemaker, but there are more upgrades you get depending on the number of buildings you buy in each category.

It's not like he's a recovering heroin addict, dude. :icon_lol:

I only clicked cookies in back alleys and fenced everything I was forced to steal to the "Cookie Man" a couple of times. It could be worse!

Hmmm... Looks like I'm hot on your tail Butt Chunk.

I'm investing in Prisms now. Got one upgrade already and now another one appeared that I have to save up for. They double the production.

So much clicking! The Golden cookies don't come around much when I'm just browsing but if I sit and wait for them then they seem to keep coming. I'm up to 2:34 minutes for Clicking frenzy and without fail near the end of the first one another Golden cookie pops up and repeats the frenzy. Sometimes the second Golden cookie is a bonus in the trillions. A couple times now I've gotten bonus cookies worth 4 quadillion. If I sit there and click the Cookie frenzies are pretty continuous. I'll even get the Cookie frenzies stacked at times.

Oddly enough I haven't gotten a Cookie storm or chain in about a week. It's almost always Cookie frenzies and bonuses. I don't know why that is. Regardless, my finger is about to fall off from all the pounding it's doing. The Prism upgrade cost me 21 quadrillion and I wanted to get the One Mind upgrade which is another 16 quadrillion. I've had to do a ton of clicking, ugh!

The frenzy and lucky cookies together account for about 80 or 90 percent of all golden cookies and they often follow each other. All the other ones are rare.

I'm doing the "One Mind" grandma revolt but have been avoiding clicking the red cookies when they pop up. The one time I clicked a red one it slowed my CPS by half for several minutes. Is there any benefit for clicking the red cookies? :daniel_new004:

SOMETIMES, they do what Golden Cookies do (give you more cookies or tons of cookies or a few % of CPS). But avoiding them is wise.
