Cookie Clicker: We're getting distracted by Madoka Clicker now

[Shadoweh]

I addicted my whole house to cookies. They look sweet on the big screen TV!
400 million cookies, why would I ever post in mafia when I could be CLICKING A COOKIE

[Garlyle]

I blame all of you for introducing me to this

I would cry

but only cookies come out of my eyes anymore

[Serela]

I feel like this image is appropriate

(orteil is the dev)

by the way the new Get Lucky is the most glorious upgrade, after I get home from work my cookies are going to shoot through the roof so hard the effect will be seen from space

750m+ CpS but the real selling point is using that in tandem with the hordes of now overlapping golden cookies effects, time to make 10 trillion in two minutes

[Keegster2]

Well, I've got 70,317,284.3 Cps, so I'm not doing so good.

I seriously wish there was an easy way to cheat or an Achievement Guide.

The Cookie Clicker wiki can help with both of those.

View Source and browser developer tools are your friend.

That's what Dual Screens are for.
I am legitimately doing this right now, by the way.
Edit: only four three golden cookies away from the final lucky upgrade. It took me 3 days to get 30 of them, but it finally occurred to me it would be easier to catch them if I shrunk the window and put it on the other screen - got about 40 in two hours. Why am I getting excited by this?

So, other than Angry Cookies, cool headlines, and an awesome wallpaper, the grandmapocalypse doesn't really do anything, right?

So, other than Angry Cookies, cool headlines, and an awesome wallpaper, the grandmapocalypse doesn't really do anything, right?

The reduction in golden cookie appearance will screw up production at higher levels. They're your main source of cookies later on.  So stopping the grandmapocalypse is a benefit if you're sitting there clicking golden cookies, when afk you want if to continue.

[Jq1790]

Other than "you got bored and left", is there an actual end to this, or is it basically "play to get the Grandmapocalypse upgrades and then make more cookies forever just because"?

I mean, I guess "play to all achievements" is a possible one, but still, wanted to know if there is currently a proper endgame or not.

[NekoNekoRex]

Endgame is "when your computer becomes too slow to properly handle the sheer amount of cookies you're clicking'

[Serela]

Other than "you got bored and left", is there an actual end to this, or is it basically "play to get the Grandmapocalypse upgrades and then make more cookies forever just because"?

There's still a lot of updates to come, so we'll see what happens then. Dungeons are probably going to be... a thing

Keeping up to date with the dev's tumblr (which is linked at the top of Cookie Clicker) is pretty good for getting sneak peeks on what's happening in the future!

[Jq1790]

Research has begun.

Thus begins the chain of events leading to the biggest payouts and eventually the end of my game, and thus my freedom from it.

[Keegster2]

Note: This is a bad idea.

I'm kinda scared.

[Garlyle]

Warning : purchasing this will have unexpected, and potentially undesirable results!
It's all downhill from here. You have been warned!
Purchase anyway?

oh dear I found the thing

[Yukarin]

Finally hit the one mind upgrade

oh god wtf is my background

[Shadoweh]

The Cookie Clicker wiki can help with both of those.

I would just like to repeat that yes, there is a wiki with strategees for how to click your cookies.

[Sagus]

So, how many cookies in total does it take to reach 200 cursors? I kinda want to make that my end ga-

It would cost 137,901,208,049,659 cookies to get 200 cursors

oh gods no

I'm at 180 and they're starting to look really pricey. The 100 time machines will be even more though.
At around 400M Cookies per second now.

[Sagus]

I'm at 180 and they're starting to look really pricey.

I'm at 187. Each cursor now costs over 3 trillion cookies. This is madness.

The 100 time machines will be even more though.

Cookie wiki says it takes sometihng in the order of 150 days to get 100 of those. And I think their price'll go up on later updates, considering the creator of the game wants to add more buildings.

After you get the golden cookie upgrades, almost all of your cookies will come from Golden Cookies.

After you get the first two golden cookie upgrades, if not before, you'll want to save up enough in your bank for the "Lucky!" effect (which grants 10% of your bank) to max out (When your bank is holding at least 5 hours worth of passive cookie generation). At that point clicking golden cookies now and then will dwarf your passive cookie production entirely; you'll have a golden cookie every 2~3 minutes and the Lucky! bonus will grant you a half hour's worth of cookie production immediately.

Then, when you get the THIRD golden cookie upgrade, Get Lucky, you'll be able to overlap Frenzy and Lucky! to get a Lucky! that's seven times as strong (plus your frenzies will give twice as much) so Get Lucky is by far worth the 77t cost and will pay itself off in no time, I get like 11t per frenzied Lucky

In this update he changed the golden cookie algorithm to drastically lower the chances of getting the same effect twice in a row, so getting a Frenzied Lucky is a lot more common then you might think.

I'm gonna hit 1 billion CpS tonight, probably. B)

[Yukarin]

new update has prestige

oh god i have bonus 65% cps on reset

welp time to do this again

[Bio]

H-hey you can't just extend the end game like that!

[Think Komachi with a Rifle]

reset time, time to go and get that neverclick acheivement

[chirpy13]

H-hey you can't just extend the end game like that!

It's like an MMO, but without the MM part!

[Arcorann]

Oh hey, they have a new function Game.RuinTheFun(), but of course using it to cheat would ruin the fun :V

No really, here's a challenge for those people who don't mind cheating- fastest time to 1 quadrillion cookies but:
* From a hard reset (feel free to prepare a save before hand, though)
* No hacking in cookies AT ALL (including using RuinTheFun())
* Only ONE command is allowed in the Scratchpad/JS console/whatever.

[Serela]

I don't want to reset away 2 quadrillion cookies made in all time though

I'm going to after a good enough update to warrant doing it all again, but for now I'm going to keep building up this number, Get Lucky boosted my cookie production so much that I'll be making quadrillions more in no time B)

the bonus is 5% per 10,000,000,000,000 (10 trillion/billion, depending where you're from)
So you'd be looking at 1000% extra.

[Kingault]

Oh look, another 99,999,999,999,999 cookie upgrade was added. Here I thought I only needed that last golden cookie upgrade.
...Huh, I seem to be getting 200 billion less cookies from golden cookies. Before, the Lucky! bonus was around 1.1 trillion with a cps of 760m/s and over 10-11 trillion cookies. Now, it's 9XX billion.

Lovely.
