You know a game is good when people willingly make spreadsheets for it.

Like I said:

PURE. EVIL.

i don't get the point of having calculator programs when you can just have Cookie Monster do all the calculation work for you.

I don't get the point of playing this game if you let someone else do the calculations for you.

Using a utility (in-game or out-of-game) removes any real choice that may have existed in upgrade and building purchase order. I recommend that you do NOT introduce anyone to cookie monster unless they have already played through to the end-game and reset at least once.

Compare it to the situation in WoW mentioned about halfway through this Extra Credits video, and consider that, without choice for when to buy a building, Cookie Clicker is about as interesting as Progress Quest, with the occasional golden cookie, and frequent updates, and wouldn't be nearly as popular.


After playing through the entire game once or twice, though, it's less of a problem (except for people who want to figure out more optimal builds manually, but they would be choosing not to use utilities intentionally). But for the first playthrough, it'll be far more enjoyable without outside help.

Muh. I mainly use Cookie Monster to detect golden cookies. The cost/extra income is a thing I don't really use anymore, since I'm deep in 900 trillion cost territory. (For upgrades, that is.)

Oh god its sucking me in, help I ca- sfghsfhgsjhfghdf ALL HAIL GRANDMATRIARCHS!

I am so sorry for anything he says.

I am so sorry for anything he says.

As you should be.

[HissinhWalnuts]

What did I do, is there a law against existing or something? Also lets not derail this.

[PanH]

That's not a derail, that's the usual road for a Bay12 train !

keyword: road.

Anyway third reset and the numbers start to get crazier and crazier the more chips you have.
As a direct result of how the prestige system works, normal cookie research gets crappier and crappier.

I'm assuming that the apology is preemptive.

[Lectorog]

Alright, I have over 3 quadrillion lifetime cookies. 100 of every building except 0 grandmas and 68 antimatter condensers. Time to reset?

[Baneling]

Can you give a more exact number than "over three quadrillion" for calculating number of chips?

[miauw62]

Why 0 grannies? You'd be better off having 0 farms.

[Lectorog]

The grandmas are creepy, that's why. I'll play with them on my second go.

3,367,000,000,000,000 cookies approximately.
