Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

According to the Cookie Clicker wiki you need at least a trillion cookies for your first HC, but yeah if it's not showing after that then it should definitely show when you get the chocolate egg unlocked for purchase.

Just discovered holding down click on the green bars in Adventure Capitalist boosts the speed, and there's plans for upgrades to that

my plans to break this curse are flawed

I'm just here to tell you that octillion fingers as a permanent upgrade along with the whole (cheap) golden cookie pathway for 5x cheaper percentage cookies and also a starter kit and 5 grandmas will cost around 1000ish heavenly chips and will have you buying prisms as your starting building.

your reset window should look like this:




This is only true if you're using an add-on like Frozen Cookies. Ordinarily the reset window does not show HC or chocolate egg information. Also, ordinarily Cookie Clicker does NOT pop all wrinklers, sell all buildings and buy the chocolate egg for you at reset time. You need to remember to do that yourself.

I assume popping of wrinklers is after I finish researching all the cookies?

Not sure if the versions have changed this but before, it was best to let them drain your CPS. When they explode they return all lost cookies plus a percentage bonus.

During Easter you can burst them to have a chance at unlocking eggs, which can be pretty useful (especially if you haven't unlocked all of the eggs at least once).

You only get heavenly chips via ascension, but you should be waiting until you get a bunch before ascending each time.

The trick is to stop buying grandma upgrades after One Mind, because then you can do both at the same time.

I have come to the realization, that you can have the Arcane Sugar (+5%!!!) without getting the second stage of the Grandmapocalypse.

Just get it normally then keep it as a permanent upgrade.

Also, is this (by that logic) the best carry over set?
Gold cookie upgrades 1,2,3
Omelette
Arcane Sugar

I have enough heavenly cookies that I can get 400 Grandmas and 250 prisms in less than 10 minutes even if I miss the golden cookies, so none of the upgrade items seem worth it?

Probably not better than other ups that get you off the ground faster. 5% is not a lot in the large pool if +% bonuses you get.

I mentioned this earlier, you'll really want the one that speeds up research. Without it, you have to wait 30 minutes for the first research instead of 3.

Alright whoever posted wall destroyer is a jerk and I gotta ask: at what point is it worth it to consider resetting? I'm still getting decent progress but the fact that you keep all your upgrades means I feel like I'd get back to where I am pretty fast. Anyone that deep in?

I basically just do it almost every time I break the fourth wall, since you keep getting trophies that boost your DPS and getting through the fifth wall takes a million years anyway.

I had some bug where the drat wall game was showing up as "Unknown by Unknown" and now my save data is reset. I was about to break the 5th wall with no resets. Anyone got a github or a way I can cheat in a bunch of money? I was having fun but not sure I want to regrind a week of poo poo.

Yeah I figured someone hosed with something and it broke it. Unfortunately it broke my save too and the objects you can easily find from the javascript console either aren't helpful or need some kind of input that I haven't been able to guess. I'll probably slowly make my way back up in it just because it is like a more interesting version of cookie clicker.

Also I'm already an adventure capitalist. I'm in the slums of trigintillions trying to get the last 4-5 upgrades. When I get home I should have 3 DDc angels so I can safely drop some on one of those last two upgrades and finally make some progress, but it's slow going as poo poo up at that point. The pace of the game is really weird, I reset every 30m at one point, and now it's every 3-4 days. Also not as interesting a game as wall destroyer.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

I think I'm done with Cookie Clicker. I've been running with an autoclicker for weeks now and I'm still not any closer to getting Dr T.

Meanwhile, Adventure Capitalist is hella fun.

It gets faster and faster after the first few resets until you can increase your investors by an order of magnitude every hour or two, then once you start hitting the end of the achievements for each business it slows way down again.

Adventure Capitalist is fun when you're resetting once or twice a day, but the endgame just sucks and is boring.

Clicker Heroes is pretty great though.
