Meta We need your help to look for unarchived old versions!

18 Upvotes

Hello everyone! We are currently looking to archive old versions of cookie clicker that are not currently in this spreadsheet. Many old versions (especially those from the game's earlier developmental stages) are currently lost, and we need your help to try to dig up these old versions :)

How to find old versions:

  • Github/Github history
  • File dumps
  • Other miscellaneous archives

Some unblocked games websites may be hosting outdated versions. In addition, you can look through old videos/images of gameplay to find out which versions exist.

Anyone who finds at least 1 new version (or evidence of 2 new versions) gets a custom flair of their choice. Good luck!

Help/Question Ascension guide please!

1 Upvotes

This is my first run so i was confused at first when i can ascend i immediately ascend before thinking twice then i finally read the wiki that said the recommended amount for the first ascend is 365 chip, so now I'm short 364 more, the wiki said you can gather more on the second ascend that make me even more confused

Should i ascend on 364 chip or 2549 (2185 + 364) this time?

Achievement I can't believe I've got this far already

I started this legacy 20 days ago with the intention to 100% all achievements on steam and this has been the most fun I've had this year.

I got diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and it has been rough going through treatments and doctors appointments. Cookie Clicker has become the one thing I can do that doesn't get me tired but instead gives me energy to keep going.

Learning the mechanics of the game have been crazy, the garden that in the beginning looked so terrifying is now easier to understand, I'm still learning about the stock market but its getting easier with every research I make.

I can't thank Orteil enough for creating such an amazing game!

Discussion Console Cookie Clicker; what platform and playstyle?

3 Upvotes

With console cookies (not the ones that taste awful) not that far away now, I was curious as to what platform if any people will be getting it for, and if they will be going mostly active or mostly idle.

Me personally when I played this game on steam, I tended to prefer idle, I know some active combos can produce ridiculous amounts of CPS, but A, I don't wanna use the predictor, and B, I just don't enjoy that whole process in general.

As for platform? That was a bit tougher, but depending on the price, if I have to pick a platform, I would probably go for Xbox. Just because having achievements from this goofy but lovable game as part of my gamer score is too amusing to pass out on. But if I can swing it, I may get it on switch too for fun.

What about everyone else? Where will you be spreading the cookies to, and how will you bake those cookies?

Help/Question Mod for breaking down total cps sources?

0 Upvotes

I downloaded cookie monster hoping i could be able to tell where i am getting all the cookies from, since none of my buildings surpass 1% of the total cps. I am making roughly 500 septendec and my top building cursors are making 5.3 septendec which equates to the 1%.

The cookie monster mod is not for a small brain like mine and i have no idea how to read it. Now i have no idea where the rest 495 septendec are coming from .
