Here's the most fleshed out ancient calculator I've found. It even has an area to input your next ancient purchase to see if buying it is a terrible idea or not.

Can someone give me a step by step guide for idiots on how to use this? I obviously didn't do it right, since the values returned were just the ones I put in.

In clicker heroes, is it always the best gold/min to idle on the highest possible level area that isn't a boss? Or should I idle on the highest boss I can kill, or the first monster after the highest boss?

edit : whoops, wrong thread, well, whatever.

The third and fourth levels after a boss give more gold/dps than the boss. However, he actual correct answer is to close the game unless you're actively progressing or using skills, since the offline gold gain is actually a little better than you can get while it's open.

I'm confused. Isn't there another thread for non cookie idle games?

In the absence of Cookie Clicker updates and with the atrocity that is the new Adventure Capitalist interface, Clicker Heroes is the new poo poo.

Is Adventure clicker supposed to have different incremental modifiers for each building? After 250 or so, oil companies are cheaper than newspaper stands.

The higher buildings (bank, oil) have larger base costs, and smaller exponential growth, yes.

With the exception of Lemonade Stands (and sometimes Newspapers), in the long run the lower buildings are there to earn bonuses to boost the productive buildings.

How many cookies in the bank does it take to get Dr. T after selling everything but Cursors and using the Chocolate Egg?

I'm at 230 Prisms, which I've heard is the optimal stopping point, and 359 Cursors. Is there like, an explicit formula written out anywhere? I don't want to have to rederive it myself :(

(since beta is never arriving I figured I might as well get it beforehand)

At first lower tier buildings cost less than the higher tier ones, but after 100 of a building or so it gradually inverts. So Oil Wells get cheaper to make than Newspaper Stands. This is a pretty constant change, and while boosts will switch around your most profitable building. Oil Wells start as the best, then gradually Lemonade becomes amazing, before Oil Wells catch up and surpass them after 1000 buildings or so.

Newspaper Stands are very bad for money on their own, but for the revenue doubling of all the other industries when you have 100 in each you will need those stands around.

Newspapers are also the most expensive building past ~1500 or so. I'm at ~2000 everything and the newspapers are a couple of orders of magnitude more expensive than everything else.

If you're not resetting twice daily in Adventure Capitalist, you're doing it wrong. :smug:

I did my weekly Dr T. check in Cookie Clicker (export save, sell all buildings except Cursors, buy as many cursors as possible, sigh, import save) and it got up to 398. Maybe next week I can finally be free. :unsmith:

Just got my first 'blab' golden cookie!
Didn't even know these exists:

0.003226% to get "blab" (really rare):
Does nothing but has a funny message, which includes:
Cookie crumbliness x3 for 60 seconds!
Chocolatiness x7 for 77 seconds!
Dough elasticity halved for 66 seconds!
Golden cookie shininess doubled for 3 seconds!
World economy halved for 30 seconds!
Grandma kisses 23% stingier for 45 seconds!
Thanks for clicking!
Fooled you! This one was just a test.
Golden cookies clicked +1!
Your click has been registered. Thank you for your cooperation.

Do you see the problem?

Conscious of pain, you're distracted by pain.
You're fixated on it. Obsessed by one threat, you miss the other.

So much more aware, so much less perceptive. An automaton could do better.
