Artificial Stupidity
My friend linked me to this "game" on Facebook with a message: "my life is ruined". Thanks, pal, so is mine now. Haven't closed my computer in over a day now. 666 million cookies per second. Have to get more! My girlfriend doesn't understand this at all.

Oh, that's an easy fix.

Have her click the cookie, too. :v:

Is it a good idea to sell off low-yield properties like farms and mines and put the money toward condensers or time machines? I've got 137 farms, but they only churn out 2,740 cookies. Seems kinda useless to keep around since most of my other properties are yielding in the millions.

Use this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73817062/cookies/cookies.html

First, your farms are giving you much more cps than 2,740. Second, the value of your buildings comes from cost/cps, not just cps, and your farms should be cheap. Third, if you sold every single farm you've ever bought, it probably wouldn't even buy your next cursor, grandma, portal, or time machine, let alone a fraction of your next condenser.

In the endgame especially, Golden Cookies will become your main source of income. With all three golden cookie upgrades, Frenzy will have twice the duration, and a new cookie can spawn while Frenzy is still going. If you get a Lucky or Click Frenzy during it, the effects STACK and you'll get an absurd number of cookies at once.

Well thank you, but I really meant their spawning. I've only seen 3 after playing this for 2 whole days.

Get this script which will add a timer to the next cookie, among some other cool features.

Ah jesus, I'm 60k cookies into going for True Neverclick, and a new Golden Cookie spawns, I click it, it's a Clicking Frenzy.

...I immedately start clicking the cookie like a trained baboon. :doh:

Nah, a Lucky! cookie also gives a flat 13 cookies, so you'd just need to get two to buy your first cursor!

A lucky gave me 13. You need at least 2 to buy a cursor, and after that it's smooth sailing.

I've been doing this for a couple weeks now, without really saying anything to my girlfriend about it. Ofcourse she's seen me clicking the cookie since I do this on our DVR but she only just recently asked me what the deal with this was. I tried to explain it and she said "Oh so it's like Lemonade Stand?" which is basically how she describes any game that doesn't involve shooting, hitting, driving, or puzzles. I just told her yes and kept on clicking that cookie.

I just started exploring dungeons. Turning off the automation seems to help a bit, since Chip got stuck in one place for like 20 minutes before I did. The enemies seem to get harder the deeper you go, but I think the yield is the same no matter what. Has anyone had any different experience with it yet?

I had it go to around level 160 on autopilot, and the rewards were the same as they were on level 10. Don't think the rewards scale at all yet.

Yes. The Bingo Center doesn't do new research until you buy the 'DO NOT BUY THIS' upgrades.

It uses a separate (internet) cookie from the main game, so you can play that one from scratch or import your main save. The dungeon opens up at 50 factories, so importing a late-game save will get you access right away.

And then you get to be horribly disappointed as you watch a girlscout walk around in circles for hours occasionally picking up <100k cookies when your cps is in the millions or billions.

He'll probably re-balance dungeons. Dungeons shouldn't be super active things anyway because this is a game about clicking cookies.

If the autopilot was relatively intelligent, then it'd work a lot better. As it stands now, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for the scout's movements.

What are the achievements with the question mark icon? I'm like 74/88 with nothing left but The Digital and the 100 Time Machine/Antimatter Condensor. If 100% on achievements is impossible, I'll have nothing left to live for.
