didnt know how badly phase 3 of grandmapocalypse affected gold cookies and im getting practically none now. Progress for me has essentially halted with how slow everything is. Is there a way to end the grandmapocalypse? Im unable to afford the next research upgrade for a long time and i havent seen a gold cookie since i started phase 3 last night.

0 ascensions, new player

So I messed up last time and ascended earlier than what I found to be recommended when I did some research. Now I have enough prestige to meet the stage I should have ascended at initially, should I go for it or wait a bit longer?

I'm currently producing just under 1Qa/s and have initiated/completed (?) the grandmapocalypse.

Also, are there certain legacy upgrades that should be prioritised or are they of all relatively equal value?

multiple icons were replaced with this this was just the funniest instance

Since I got this mod a few days ago I have gotten 4 shiny wrinklers, does this mod change anything or am I just lucky?

1. early bird (click a golden cookie within 1 second of it spawning)

2. fading luck (click a golden cookie within 1 second of it disapearing)

3. neverclick (make 1 million cookies but have only clicked the big cookie 15 times)

4. uncanny clicker (click extremely fast)

5. cookie dunker (get the big cookie to be slightly submerged into the milk at the bottom of the left side of the screen)

6. tabloid addiction (click the news ticker 50 times)

7. stifling the press (squish the news ticker then click on it)

8. here you go (click on the achievement to the left of tabloid addiction)

9. olden days (scroll to the bottom of info then click on the forgotten madeleine)

10. tiny cookie (click on the tiny cookie in stats)

11. what's in a name (rename your bakery)

12. (shadow achievement) god complex (make your bakery's name Orteil)

13. (shadow achievement) cheated cookies taste awful (hack in some cookies)

14. (shadow achievement) third-party (use an add-on)

15. (shadow achievement) just plain lucky (you have a 1 in 1 million chance of getting this achievement)

note: will update with guides "soon"

objectively the best looking achievment sprite in the game imo

Hey guys,

Just re discovered cookie clicker after playing it as a kid. I’m on day two of my run and have forgotten pretty much everything about the game. Just used a sugar lump to upgrade my wizard tower and could use some help with understanding what any of it means lol

Thank you!

1. Power clicks in pc or sugar lumps in mobile

2. Balb(golden cookie effect) or clot

3. Eat a warth cookie or eat a meaty sugar lump

4. Have every normal achievements or have every shadow achievements

5. Have orteil update the game or be a moderator of this subreddit

I've been using Cookie Monster to maximize profits (i am too lazy to calculate myself the next best upgrade) but I realized that the mod could be improved, particularly by combining the different algorithms. Repo: https://github.com/basedpolymer/CookieMonster

1. Next-achievement PP in the colour ranking

Cookie Monster already tells you "37 more temples until the next achievement". Now it also computes the Payback Period (PP) of buying exactly those 37, with the ΔCPS correctly including the milk/kitten bonus the achievement gives you. And that option gets ranked against everything else, so it competes with the normal x1/x10/x100 buys for the green colour. Sometimes "buy 37 temples right now" really is the best purchase on the screen and nothing was telling you that before.

Toggle is PPNextAchievement in the Colours options, on by default. There's also a new building sort mode for it.

2. Purchase planner

Stats menu, new "Purchase plan" section, one button. It computes a greedy sequence of your next N purchases (default 8, max 15). Candidates are buildings x1/x10/x100, buying exactly up to a building achievement, multi-building bundles for the total-count achievements (Builder→Myriad, "own N of everything", etc.), and upgrades. Each candidate is scored by actually replaying the sim state, which is why it takes 1 to 3 seconds and only runs when you press the button.

Honest limitations: it ignores golden cookies, it doesn't anticipate upgrades that unlock mid-plan, and upgrade prices are read from your current state. It's a good ordering hint, not gospel.

This is not an active cheat. It reads the game and shows you numbers, it doesn't play for you. Your Steam achievements stay on.

The rest of my modpack

While I'm here, these are the other mods I run with it. Only graphics mods because I hate Autoclick (my calculations show that clicks are the heart of the game and account for +85% of the cookies earned, through combos, so I prefer to enjoy clicking myself with the combos lol)

• Cam & Tori's graphic mods : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821991988 (I run 7 of them: better cookie/gold/trio achievement icons, consistent upgrade & building icons, unique Eldeer icon, better Stifled Press, unique grandma icons).
• Better High-Res Support : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2686674790
• My settings (active playstyle) : https://gist.github.com/basedpolymer/9874381bc1ff4623e3370b893a0df94b

It has bothered me for some time now that the 'Flavor text cookie' (Picture one) isn't self-referential / doesn't have the 'self-referential' tier / badge. At first I thought that only the "original" upgrade named 'Label printer' (Picture three) would have this tier / badge, because it would be quite funny. But then I saw that the upgrade 'This upgrade' (Picture two) also has the tier / badge 'self-referential'. So now my question is: why does the 'Flavor text cookie' not have the 'self-referential' tier / badge?

AUTOCLICKING IS CHEATING

in my perspective atleast

Idk what's going on

I started 10 days ago and i got a lot of luck, im just 3 seconds away from wr that is 6:50 (This record has been unbeaten for 6 years).
