Question: Is clicking really worth it later on? I'm at 55 million cookies per second, and I'm not sure how much of an impact it has.
I have Billion Fingers and Admantium Mouse.

Clicking stops being useful VERY early on unless I guess you have a clicking machine.

Elder frenzy lasts only 6 seconds.
It is indeed amazing, and is about 10 times as good as the regular frenzy. But it is also only about 10% as likely as the regular frenzy as well.

Likewise, the cookie chain is amazing. But it is also really rare, so it isn't overpoweringly useful.
----
I did make a mistake in my calculations though, I assumed he meant 8957 when the 5.95% was already calculated in.
After a bit of checking, that was almost certainly wrong.

After a bit more calculations on my part, the average cookie chain income is 2.95 trillion.
((Assuming that you have at least 720 billion cookies in the bank already, with less then that the cookie chain gives less then 10% of the cookies, meaning that it is far far less useful.))

So correcting for both parts of my error, under 324 million cookies/second red cookies are better. Over golden cookies are better.
This makes perfect sense, as while all the others are scaling with your income, the cookie chain is static.

Elder frenzy lasts only 6 seconds

There are a lot of upgrades the double the length of golden cookies. Do Granny cookies not count for this?

[lemon10]

There is one, and indeed it effect both golden and granny cookies.
((The other upgrades double the duration the cookies stay on the screen to click on, but they don't double the effect duration))

But if you adjust for probability, frenzy and elder frenzy are just about equally good.

Yes, elder frenzy is 10 times as good as frenzy, but frenzy is ~10 times as common.

No, its not exactly 10 times as common, so the duration upgrades do help the granny cookies slightly more then the golden cookies, but the difference is fairly trivial.

If you do calculate with the get lucky upgrade then it changes the threshold to 325 million, but the difference is pretty minor.

This calculation sort of forgets the Grandma Frenzy.

18 seconds at 666x speed does help.

Seconds after reading this, I look at my Cookieclicker Window and there is a redcookie, click it... Ganny Frenzy...

New update?

[Edit]Weird bug: It changed my background from Awakened Grannies to normal.

[Edit]Never mind, back to awakened grannies.

Finally got True Neverclick. God it took so long to get a gold cookie. On the plus side, I had an ungodly amount of heavenly chips from the run before (2600% or thereabouts) so once I got a cursor it was all downhill.

[Neyvn]

So how do you get those Neverclick achievements, do they have to be EXACTLY 1mil???

[frostshotgg]

No, you have to make a total of 1mil cookies with either 15 or no cookie clicks. 15 is pretty easy, just click 15 times so you can get a cursor then wait. No cookie clicks requires you to get the first 15 cookies from a gold cookie, because those don't count as cookie clicks.

[Baneling]

Oh wow the prestige thing makes it way easier to start producing absurd amounts of cookies.

Admittedly I had cheated before to have quite a lot of cookies(a couple quadrillion) but I'd say that even without that, getting lots of heavenly chips is quite viable.

I have 73(+365%) and it took me about forty minutes to go from zero to nearly 2 million cps.

[Graknorke]

What is prestige and how does it work?

[Jack_Bread]

What is prestige and how does it work?

Prestige is permanent bonus CpS you get from resetting your game with a lot of cookies.

[Baneling]

Oh wow. So as it turns out, the heavenly chip formula is (sqrt(lifetime cookies))/1000000. This means that you will only start getting any heavenly chips from a reset at one trillion lifetime cookies. That's...actually not that many, really.

[Absolute Niro]

Can someone translate the potency of prestige for me? I can't math. I do however have nearly 300 trillion lifetime cookies, so I imagine it'd be quite potent.
