COOKIE CLICKER FAQ

HOW MANY HEAVENLY CHIPS DO I GET?
Here's two useful formulas for you (Cookies are in trillions!):
Cookies = HC*(HC+1)/2
HC = (sqrt(8*Cookies+1)-1)/2

IS COVENANT WORTH IT?
In v1.03601, only if you're below 6 billion CpS and never click golden cookies. Otherwise, no.
In v1.037beta, no idea yet.

WHEN DOES ELDER PLEDGE CAP?

WHAT IS SCRIPT VERSION

WHAT DOES MULTIPLY COOKIES DO
You gain the minimum of the following two, plus 13 cookies:
 - 1800*Cps (the amount of cookies you collect in 20 minutes)
 - 10% of your cookies in the bank
Therefore, it is recommended to always have 12,000*Cps in your bank; or 84,000 if you have Get Lucky so you can have a combo with Frenzy.

WHAT DOES FRENZY DO
Multiply your cookie income by 7 for 77 seconds (154 with Get Lucky).

WHAT DOES CLICK FRENZY DO
Clicking the giant cookie gives 777 times as much cookies, for 13 seconds (26 with Get Lucky).

WHAT IS A COOKIE CHAIN
A cookie appears for a mere 6 seconds (unaffected by upgrades). If you click it, you gain +6 cookies; 3 seconds later a new cookie spawns, click again for 6 seconds, etc. Not clicking in time ends your chain.
From the 5th cookie onwards, every cookie has a 90% (instead of 100%) chance to spawn a next one, up to 13 cookies (15 in the beta) in total.
Your chain will automatically stop if at any point, you were given more cookies than you had in the bank (more than half of your cookies in the beta).

WHAT DOES CLOT DO
Halve your cookie income for 66 seconds

WHAT DOES RUIN COOKIES DO
You lose the minimum of the following two, minus another 13 cookies:
 - 600*Cps (the amount of cookies you collect in 10 minutes)
 - 5% of your cookies in the bank

WHAT DOES ELDER FRENZY DO
Multiply your cookie income by 666 for 6 seconds
