I'm at over 300 million cookies per second and trying to get to 100 time machines. I'm at 86. I went to bed, woke up, and still can't afford the 20 trillion cookies I need for my next time machine. And that's just for number 87.

Progress has slowed down so much that I'm basically needing to just leave the game running on its own for days at a time to make any appreciable changes to my CPS.

Beware, my friends, for the cookie abyss will sap your will to live. There is no game here, no fun. Only cookies. I must have more cookies. I must.

Anyone know if you do a reset and keep your achievements, do you keep your milk?

So do the 5% upgrades stack to 20% or is it 5% of the total with any previous 5% upgrades?

This is important.

I'm down to the 900 billion cat and the 999 billion cookies. Plus the 50 time machine buff but I'm not there yet with my paltry 55 million cps.

this is now me.

The game really does slow down once you start buying time machines. Once you run out of new building types to aim for costs continue rising exponentially while income rises linearly.

Getting to 160 cursors is going to take a while, though.

Sounds like you need milk, cats, and 160 cursors

160 cursors unlocks the final(?) cursor upgrade that gives you +x cookies per second/cookies per click for every building you have

Are granma's worth keeping? Are there things not worth investing money into?

I will have 200 grandmas and I will like it.

100 is the achievement for each one, but you honest to god don't want anything more than that because they get crazy expensive for zero bonus unless you have thousands of cursors

Spend it all on Time Machines instead, especially when you get their upgrades maxed out

I think the peak right now is 200?

It seems the makers of the game hapharardly assigned prices and benefits to the items with very little thought. Obviously, the game is a giant grind but the pricing makes no sense whatsoever. Also the exponentially increasing prices without exponential growth in cookies is pretty unsatisfying. I tend to play grindy toss-away browser games a bit (mostly Flash stuff on Kongregate - Penguin, Bison, Knightmare Tower, etc) and those typically feature a slow start grind followed by a period of decent purchasing power that pushes the game towards completion.

Cookies just seems to want you to leave your browser open. There's seriously nothing to do but wait, and that wait is over the course of about a day. Without the surprise gameplay of Darklit Room, or the expanse of Candybox (which I thought sucked rear end) there's no point in leaving your browser open. Yes, you are a completionist and want those acheivements. Guess what? If you leave it on, you'll get them. There's nothing to it, but time. I understand it's time spent on other stuff, but it's pointless because there's no purpose to the grind.

I was playing Neverwinter Online at launch. I wasn't into the game, but it had profession skills where you could log in daily and get some xp/progress. So as I stopped playing, I kept logging in daily for about 3 days keeping up with my professions... then it hit me; I wasnt interesting in playing Neverwinter Online, I just got sucked into the grind due to the it's easy-drop-in factor.

Cookies has the same problem. You can drop in easily enough as often or as un-often as you like, but there's no reason to do either. The game is just empty.

I left it on overnight after seeing this thread, bought stuff when I got home, saw that I couldn't afford anything at all after that, and closed the tab. It needs some work to be interesting. play Darklit Room instead.
