Cookie Clicker
Apr. 19th, 2015 11:10 amI've been playing this on and off all week. I learned that when you reset, you can rebuild a LOT quicker. Partially due to heavenly chips, which unlock upgrades giving you a massive multiplier depending how many cookies you've baked in all games -- after three resets, each rebuilding back up to prisms an order of magnitude faster, I'm currently on about 30x faster. And that the five kitten upgrades give you a bonus for the number of achievements you have, and now I have quite a lot.
I have all the achievements it seemed at all reasonable to get -- 100 of all buildings, and 200 of about half, and all the little side-achievements like naming your bakery ("The Curious and Interesting Bakery of Dr J") and shortening the browser window to dip the cookie in the milk. And "clicknarok" for making 1 quadrillion cookies solely by clicking, and the maximum achievements for cookies per second and for total cookies baked.
And have a sense of what it's most useful for me to buy: buy the heavenly chip upgrades whenever you can, else generally the most expensive building, then kittens. Then the upgrades that double the most expensive building. And when they start to get cheap, buy the "increase cookie production 5%" cookies, those were very powerful first game, but much less powerful when you already have a 30x multiplier.
I'm not sure how often it's best to reset, I've been playing a couple of days in each game, until my multiplier has an least doubled (which required a more than 2x increase in total cookies baked).
But I'm starting to find points of diminishing returns. Once I've got a number of prisms, the next notable achievements are "50 prisms" and "100 prisms" and "kitten overseers" which need 50-100 quadrillion cookies and need a lot of waiting. And after that, there seems nothing notable to buy until I get to kitten managers at 900 quintillion. Which presumably will still only be a doubling of cps. Hmm.
