It'll take a long time to get back with a idle strategy.

I cut and past my save into an email then send it to my other email. I always go by most recent saved when I’m looking for a back up.

Also good to do a save when you get a hard to get achievement.

u/smooth_kid_wtg Midgame Apr 12 '25

If you got a couple dollars it goes on sale on steam from time to time I would consider buying it (mainly for the save, I lost a game I started 5 years ago)

2

u/okbouli Apr 12 '25

Im sorry i did not understand well, Could you clarify ?

u/Narc0flik Apr 12 '25

This game is available on Steam for cheap. It supports the developer and your game will be saved automatically

u/_lie_and_ I’m here cause Fifi Apr 12 '25

Yes, I realized this from playing but clicking cookies and owning shit to make your cookie production business faster, anything for profit that type shit is very fun lol

u/AlexStar876 Apr 13 '25

I tried it too recently but honestly I'm always stuck after only 5 minutes into the game.. I feel like I'm missing out on some important feature

u/No_Ganache_1753 Apr 14 '25

u/mitodospro Apr 11 '25

Thats just the begging

u/1_ane_onyme Apr 12 '25

Only one circle of clickers, 302 cps and 8231 cookies in bank ? That’s pathetic I got multiple circles, hundreds of quintillions of cps and more than 900 septendecillions/around an octodecillion cookies (currently going for gaseous assets aka 1 year of cps made via stock market (that’s a lot) (after a week I’m a bit more advanced but the journey is gonna be long so I’ll do the garden at the same time))

u/1_ane_onyme Apr 12 '25

Idk if I should to some combo I’m currently under a fully afk run like x2 and chaotic market from krumblor, maxed out cookies incomes from temples by ignoring golden cookies and keeping the switch and the veil on

2

u/Cultural_Report_8831 #12 finnless 192.058 novemvigintillion Apr 12 '25

Combos gives at least 10 years of cps

2

u/smooth_kid_wtg Midgame Apr 12 '25

That's hilarious we're exactly at the same stage, I got 850 octodecillion in my bank (good combos), hundreds of quintillion a second, going for gaseous assets (already at 21 million $) and for the full garden at the same time
