An automated Cookie Clicker tool.
Compatible with most other mods including CCSE. Some users report a load conflict with Cookie Monster. Make sure CM loads before FC if you want to use both.
If you have the FrozenCookies button on the top right of your Cookie Clicker, replacing the Info button, you're all set!
Click that button to configure everything or use the Recommended Settings at the bottom of the menu for a quick start. Read on for details on what each option does.
If you do not have the button, confirm FC is installed. Instructions for each platform and method are below.
Get it from the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816199538
If you want to manually install it:
- Download the Steam folder at https://erbkaiser.github.io/FrozenCookies/Steam/ and put the FrozenCookies folder in your mods/local folder. Remove or disable any other variants of FC.
- Close Cookie Clicker if it is running, or refresh it
- Load up Cookie Clicker via Steam
- Enable Frozen Cookies at 'Manage mods' on the Options page
- Open the browser dev tools by whatever works for your browser. F12 might do it.
- Go to the Console tab.
- Type the following on the commandline and press enter after: Game.LoadMod("https://github.erbkaiser.com/FrozenCookies/frozen_cookies.js");
- Frozen Cookies should tell you it's loaded in the console now. Feel free to close the browser console, or keep it open. If you keep it open, you'll get some detailed info whenever FC does its thing.
- Paste the contents (not the url) of https://github.erbkaiser.com/FrozenCookies/fc_bookmarklet_loader.js into a bookmark.
- Load up Cookie Clicker.
- Load the recently created bookmark.

2022 Apr 14

2022 Mar 25

2022 Jan 25
- Changed auto-Godmazok to mines and factories as farms will get a synergy boost once the beta goes into live
- Changed buy back behaviour for auto-G to stop at 500 max, so that enabling it won't devastate existing games where you have more mines and factories. Recommended to still enable the mine and factory limit once you can get over 600 of each, to keep them useful
- Hid the Frenzy Times on the FC stats/settings page behind an overflow scrollbar
2022 Jan 16

2014 May 20:
- Wrinklers will autopop if turned on, in Easter or Halloween, and don't have all seasonal cookies for that season unlocked Will autobuy and value Faberge Egg, Golden Goose Egg, and Wrinklerspawn
- Century Egg doesn't cause the browser to freeze (note: It's still broken in beta; won't be fixed)
- "Manual Seasons" blacklist removed (this is now integrated with the core autobuy - if you're in a season and don't have all related cookies, autobuy won't buy another season upgrade)
- Wrinkler Saving functionality removed entirely, due to that working with the core game now
- "No Buildings" blacklist added (for use with all of your Chocolate Egg hoarding needs - will maintain a Pledge if deemed valuable, as well as maintaining seasons)
- Resetting while FC is loaded will now pop all wrinklers, sell all buildings, and finally buy the Chocolate Egg (if available) before actually resetting, without any manual interaction needed.
- Console logging cleaned up quite a bit (now condenses HC reports by either 'In Frenzy' or 'Out of Frenzy', rather than spamming 100x "You gained 1 HC!" when not in a frenzy)

2014 Mar 18:
- Chained Upgrades accurately simulate all prerequisites' benefits as well as costs
- Wrinkler valuation updated to prevent exiting of One Mind if it shouldn't
- Autobuy won't switch seasons during the first hour of that season (to avoid constant back and forth before unlocking anything in a given season).
- A beta Wrinkler-saver (that is off by default) which will simply hook into the game's built in Save function, will store your wrinklers upon save, and when FC is first loaded, will restore them entirely (including amount sucked, life, and even position around the cookie). Use at your own risk.
- A new "smart tracking" for the graphing stats, which introduces a delay between tracking times, and will increase the reporting during times of increased purchasing, and will decrease the reporting during times of saving. This is currently the recommended tracking method, if you plan on using the graphs. (Thanks to /u/bryanarby for the initial idea of a modulated tracking function.)
- Even fewer bugs than before.
- Possibly more bugs, as well?
2014 Mar 12:
- Graphs!

2013 Dec 31:
- Reindeer Autoclicker [technically not new, since someone else added this earlier]
- Automatic Santa stage upgrading
- Fixed a bug in the chained upgrade cost code that was calculating the cumulative cost of buildings very very wrong
2013 Nov 15:
- Auto Blacklist Disabler - this will allow you to set a blacklist, but once its goal is reached, it will return to no blacklist. (This allows you to, among other things, turn on Grandmapocalypse Mode to acquire all halloween cookies, without having to monitor whether they're all gotten or not, and then it returns to normal buy all.) Without this turned on, blacklists will work how they previously did.
- Grandmapocalypse Mode Blacklist - this will now stop you at Wrath:1, rather than Wrath:3, as this seems likely to be far more effective for wrinklers. After you've bought the Elder Pact, of course, you can't go back, but for those who want to run in the earlier mode, this will allow you to do so.
- Beautified numbers now round properly. This includes a bug that surfaced last week, where thousands were displaying as millions, as well as the much older bug where 999,999,999 would display as 1000 million, rather than 1 billion.
- Golden cookie double-clicking bugs and buying Elder Covenant bugs - these should not be happening any more; if they are, please let me know.
2013 Oct 28:
- Chain timer no longer resets after the purchase of each item in the chain (the total value of the chain is the cost of every prerequisite, the amount completed of the timer is the cost of all purchased prereqs + cookies on hand).
- You can now change how numbers are shortened, with many different formatting options to choose from.
- The giant efficiency table now marks Chained upgrades as such with a (C) in the list.
- Clicking CPS is now included in any calculations involving time delays when autoclick is turned on.
- Click Frenzy Autoclick (should) override the base autoclick speed if both are turned on and set.
- Frenzy Power now shown when active (x7, x666, or x0.5)
- Efficiency Table should now be slightly less terribly formatted (though likely not by much).
- Numerous bugs from the previous versions should be fixed (I forget what all they are, though.)
2013 Oct 23:
- Improved code stability, added large cookie autoclicker, clicking frenzy autoclicker, and blacklists for Speedrun/Hardcore achievements
2013 Oct 22:

2013 Oct 17:

- Newer GC valuation code
- Moved the hosting URL to one that won't cause script-type warnings when you load it. (http://icehawk78.github.io/FrozenCookies)
2013 Oct 03:
- Finally getting around to updating this file.
- Lots of other changes have been added in the meantime.
2013 Sep 23:
- Added Chained Upgrade purchases
- Lag: sadly, yes FC causes some lag. The code is incredibly huge and complex.
- Raw cookies per second is set to an absurdly high value on ascending. This messes badly with stock prices. The cause is currently unknown and I suspect it is deep in the FC prediction code.
- Golden Cookie timers sometimes disappear. This will fix itself on the next GC spawn
- Autocasting may not automatically start working if Frozen Cookies is loaded before the WTs are unlocked, even if these are unlocked later in the same session. To use autocast, reload the game and mod.
- For other issues or plans, see the Github issues
- I welcome any pull requests or comments, if you feel up to trying to improve the code
- Autoclick This will simulate clicking the big cookie by directly calling the function that register cookie clicks. A value of 250 will best well for most people playing on web, but if you have a fast computer and are playing the Steam version, you can go up to 1000. Basically, to find the sweet spot for your system, start at a value like 100 and increase it until the 'Next' upgrade in the options or infobox begins to go wrong, either by losing the seconds value or by showing a clearly incorrect count. If it does, lower the Autoclick count again until you find the optimal speed. Or, just set it 250 and forget about it. NOTE: Having Autoclick enabled may prevent you from manually poking Wrinklers.
- Autofrenzy This is Autoclick but during click frenzies. The same rules as Autoclick apply, but you can use a higher value here if you cannot normally run Autoclick at top speed.
- Autoclick GC All golden cookes, including wrath cookies, will be collected as soon as they appear if enabled.
- Autoclick Reindeer This will click Reindeer the moment they appear.
- Auto Fortune The moment a fortune appears in the newsticker, it will be collected. It may be a good idea to disable this during active play, as you will only collect fortune bonuses once per ascension and Your Lucky numbers are gives up to double your bank, so you will likely want this at a later point.
- Autobuy This controls all automated purchases. Upgrades in the vault will not be bought. Buildings with a limit will not be bought beyond the limit. Blacklists will block certain items or reshuffle buying order. Some things to keep in mind: the Research options will be halted at an optimal level, if either the Grandmapocalypse blacklist is active, Shiny Wrinkler protection is active, or the season is Easter or Halloween, as those seasons can use wrinklers.
- Other Upgrades Some upgrades don't provide direct CpS bonuses so the normal Autobuy will never guy them. This option will.
- Auto Blacklist Turns off the selected blacklist (next option) if it served its purpose.
- Blacklist This contains the Speedrun and Hardcore blacklists required for some of the born again achievements, as well as one to disable ever entering or proceding with the Grandmapocalypse, and a bonus mode that will not buy any buildings.
- Mine limit Auto-Godzamok uses mines and factories so it makes sense to put a maximum cap on these, as otherwise rebuying will cost more than was gained. The actual tipping point depends on your max CpS so this cannot be predetermined. For mid game (when you can earn enough HCs at a good pace), try a value around 500. For late game (all upgrades bought), try values around 800 or higher.
- Factory limit See Mine limit, try values about 50 to 100 lower than Mine limit.
- Pastemode Turning this on is a very stupid idea. It will buy as many buildings as it can afford, ignoring all efficieny.
- Auto Bulkbuy This sets the bulk buy mode directly after ascending only. It does not carry over on reloads. If some buildings are capped, it will temporarily bypass bulk buy for those if they are near the cap.
- Auto Buy All Upgrades This will effectively hit the 'buy all upgrades' button as many times as it can until at least one prestige level (heavenly chip) is earned.
- Auto-ascend This is mainly useful if you're grinding out ascensions for Endless Cycle, or want to build up your HC boost. Note that it can take a few seconds before the upgrade screen disappears each ascension, the transition isn't instantaneous. With the first option, the game will ascend when the given number of new HCs is reached. With the second option, the game will ascend when your current prestige is doubled.
- Ascending during combo If enabled, the game will not ascend while a combo larger than the minimum Frenzy (see also below) is active.
- Autopop Wrinklers Pop any wrinklers, either the moment they appear, or when they have eaten enough to provide a decent bonus toward the next purchase. This is ignored during the Halloween and Easter seasons as long as some halloween cookies and eggs are still not found.
- Save Shiny Wrinklers This overrides the Autopop function for the shiny wrinkler, and will also prevent the Grandmapocalypse from ever ending, if enabled.
- Autoharvest Sugar Lump Will harvest a lump as soon as it is safe to do so (ripe). It can also swap in Rigidel automatically to make the harvest occur up to one hour early.
- Auto-Dragon's Curve Will swap the dragon aura to Dragon's Curve when a lump is harvested, to try to get an unusual type. Can also swap in Reality Bending at the same time for an ever bigger chance at unusual lumps. Enabling DC at harvest increases your average number lumps over time (as long as the game is open) by 3,5%, using DC and RB increases this to 3.8%!
- Sugar Baking Guard For all actions that automatically spend a sugar lump, this will block them from working if it would make the number of stored Sugar Lumps go below 100, to keep the max Sugar Baking bonus.
- Auto-Golden Switch The Golden Switch gives a good CpS boost but prevents cookies from appearing while active. This option toggles the GS the moment a clicking frenzy starts and turns it off when this ends.
- Auto-Godzamok Godzamok allows for the Devastation boost which can help clicking frenzies earn immense amounts of cookies. If enabled, it will sell mines and factories the moment a CF starts and Godzamok is an active god. If these buildings are not capped, Auto-Godzamok will sell and rebuy up to 500 of each, otherwise it will sell all and rebuy up to the cap.
- Auto-Banking This will upgrade the bank office level the moment you have enough cursors to do so.
- Auto-Broker This will hire stock brokers, if the next Autobuy upgrade is a building, and it can afford to do so. If you're not playing the stock market, don't bother with this.
- Auto-Loans If the bank office level has unlocked one or more loans, setting this option will take the first loans once a clicking frenzy is active and the total frenzy is higher than the set number. The first choice will take the modest (2h/4h) loan and the pawnshop (40s/40m) loan, the second choice will also take the retirement (2d/5d) loan.
- Auto Pantheon The main option to toggle slotting the gods or not. The next three options are to select a god per slot. If the same god is set to multiple slots, the highest rank slot stays and the lower one is automatically cleared.
- Auto-Cyclius If enabled, turns off the Auto Pantheon. Cyclius' bonus over the course of the day can be maximized by switching him between slots periodically. This option will automate that process. The first option will swap Cyclius between the Ruby and Jade slots, the second option will also use the Diamond slot. Auto-Cyclius works best if the Auto Pantheon is set with three gods other than Cyclius in all slots. For those periods where Cyclius only has negative effects, it will try to replace Cyclius with the gods from the Auto Pantheon options, and otherwise it will fall back to remove it and leave the slot empty. If Supreme Intellect is one of the dragon auras and auto-Cyclius is enabled, auto-Cyclius will swap to a modified version of the two slot option.

- Wizard Tower Cap This cap works different than the other building ones, since it will not directly cap at a given WT number, but instead at the amount of mana that is set. 37 is the best value for the auto cast FTHOF or manual casting option, for double casting higher values are needed (between 81 and 100). Setting this to any value over 100 is wasting mana and ruins spell casting speed.
- Auto Cast, Double Cast FTHOF, Auto Cast 100% Consistency Combo Select one of the auto casting methods. More details further on. Cannot use multiple options at once, the lowest enabled entry in the list will be active.
- Auto Sugar Frenzy Will buy Sugar Frenzy with a sugar lump during the first 100% Consistency and/or Double Cast combo (depending on what is set) of that ascension. If Sugar Baking Guard is active, it will only buy ASF if you have 101 lumps or more. You can also set the minimum frenzy level before ASF should be bought, to prevent it from getting used on 'weak' combos.
- Auto Sweet Experimental auto casting/ascending option to farm sugar lumps. This is dangerous as it cannot be turned off without access to the console. Do not enable unless you know how to. This will disable all other automated spell casting methods.
- Dragon Upgrading Will buy a dragon upgrade as soon as it is possible to do so. This ignores any building chains and the like.
- Dragon Petting Will spam click the dragon once it can be pet, until all four drops are unlocked for this ascension.
- Dragon Auras Will set the desired aura. Aura 1 will be set in the first slot and Aura 2 will set in the second slot, even if Aura 2 could theoretically be set earlier.
- Auto Dragon Orbs If Dragon Orbs is one of the active auras and Godzamok is not a slotted god, this will repeatedly sell Yous to try to spawn Golden Cookies. Works together with:
- You Limit This will cap the number of Yous that can be bought to a given number to make sure ADO doesn't wipe out all your cookies.
- Default Season Will buy the given season, if no season is active and all other seasons with drops have had all their upgrades unlocked. This will immediately change seasons if possible, so turn off Auto-Buy if you're going through the list to avoid overpaying.
- Free Season Will override the Default Season option to stay in the game's base season. This can be set for either Christmas and Business Day only (the two seasons that provide benefits throughout) or for all five seasons.
- Auto-Easter Switch If you do not have all eggs yet, this will instantly start Easter the moment a Cookie Storm starts. This because eggs can be extremely tedious to unlock by normal means.
- Auto-Halloween Switch If you do not have all spooky biscuits yet, this will change to Halloween if the season is not Easter and there are wrinklers.
All bank options will add a number of cookies to the next autoBuy purchase price, so it will never go below this amount from buying. This is separate from the 'Lucky' GC bank, which is always active. Multiple banks can be enabled at the same time, whatever is highest will be kept in reserve.
- SE Bank Will keep half the cost of the highest owned building in reserve. This option is always enabled if you're auto-casting SE.
- Harvesting bank Some plants give bonus cookies when they are harvested or let explode. For example, Bakeberries will give up to 30 minutes of CpS when harvested, but are limited to 3% of the stored cookies. Enabling this for Bakeberries will make sure that 3% of your bank is always equal to 30 minutes of current CpS.
- Harvesting during CpS multiplier This will work with the above option to also take a CpS multiplier into account. If you intend to harvest always during a frenzy and/or 1 or more building specials for optimal returns, this will increase the Harvesting bank value.
Not all of these work on the Steam version.
- Shortcuts Enable the following keyboard shortcuts:
- Press 'a' to toggle autobuy.
- Press 'b' to pop up a copyable window with building spread.
- Press 'c' to toggle auto-GC
- Press 'e' to pop up a copyable window with your export string
- Press 'r' to pop up the reset window
- Press 's' to do a manual save
- Press 'w' to display a wrinkler-info window
- GC Clicked percentage Golden Cookie effiency calculations by default assume all GCs were clicked. If for whatever reason you're not clicking GCs, set this to the approximate value for improved calculations. Don't touch if you don't know what that means.
- Show Missed GCs The game keeps track of how many GC clicks were missed. Enabling this option makes the info appear under Golden Cookie Information. Hidden by default.
- Number Display Will toggle between various ways to show numbers.
- RAW just shows the numbers as a string.
- FULL writes out the full names, eg. '3.753 trillion', '4.589 vigintillion', etc.
- INITIALS does the same as FULL but shortens these: '3.753T', '4.589Vg', etc.
- SI Units uses canon SI prefixes. This stops being useful at 10^33 (1e33), and will display Infinity.
- SCIENTIFIC uses 10^x names in the form of e notation, eg. 6.3e12 for 6.3 x 10^12.
- Infobox The mod can show an info window of its next purchase and any active frenzies in the milk window, either as text, as a graphic, or both. Graphics can slow down the game.
- Logging Will log everything the mod does in the Javascript console, except for what Autobuy just bought (to keep it useful). Disabling this slightly improves performance. It's useless on Steam.
- Purchase Log Will also log every purchase and resulting CpS.
- Frame Rate Speed up or slow down the entire game.
- Tracking Allows you to keep track of earned Heavenly Chips, raw CpS, and actual CpS over intervals and view this with View Stat Graphs. This will slow down the game and can even cause it to run out of memory if left enabled long enough, but can be useful to compare building spreads, slotted gods, dragon auras, etc.
- Recommended This will set all Frozen Cookies options to predefined values intended for mid to late game. If you are not sure what FC can do for you, you can opt to use this setting to get a start with values that will work good enough for everyone. It will force a save and reload to properly activate everything immediately once clicked. DO NOT USE if you already are familiar with FC as it will reset EVERY OPTION. Don't come complaining to me if you did enable it and lost your preferred setup.
Frozen Cookies uses a custom tweaked Efficiency calculation to determine what the optimal purchase at the current point in time is. The current raw efficiency formula is the following:
cost cost
1.15 * ----------- + ---------
current cps delta cps
This originated from the assertion that, for any purchases A and B, purchase A is superior if and only if the following inequality is true:
a.cost b.cost b.cost a.cost
------ + ----------- < ------ + -----------
CPS a.CPS + CPS CPS b.CPS + CPS
Initially, this was just simplified down to (cost/cps + cost/Δ cps), but thanks to a number of repeated simulations by Vandalite, it was found that adding a modifier to the (cost/cps) section very slightly increased the optimal build speed, as can be seen here:
For Golden Cookies, it was determined that using the naïve cost/Δ cps to determine when it is optimal to begin building a bank for Golden Cookies is superior to our primary efficiency algorithm, since you actually gain effective CPS increases continually while building bank (from increased Lucky payouts).
All of these calculations are subject to change if it is revealed that a different algorithm will build (and maintain) a CPS base faster than the current one. Additionally, there is uncompleted code that will simplify these numbers to a simple percentage-based system for easier user reference.
Auto cast will cast the selected spell if you have enough mana. If a Combo method is used, this overrides earlier listed spells, including Auto Cast.
- If the next detected spell is 'Sweet' (free Sugar lump), it will always cast Force the Hand of Fate (FTHOF) next, if it has enough mana for FTHOF
- If the next detected spell is either Clot or Ruin cookies AND you are currently under a timed debuff like a clot, it will cast Stretch Time to shorten the timer
- If the next detected spell is either Clot or Ruin cookies and you are not currently under a timed debuff, it will cast Haggler's Charm instead of the selected spell, to avoid a backfire
- If there is an unclicked cookie on screen, the automatic spell is FTHOF, and the next FTHOF spell is a backfire, it will wait until the unclicked cookie has been or has expired
Will cast CBG
Will cast FTHOF without any further logic. If minimum Frenzy is set, it will wait for that Frenzy value before casting.
Works like the simple method, with the following changes:
- If the next detected spell is Click Frenzy, it will not cast the spell unless either a Frenzy or Dragon Harvest plus a Building Special are active for long enough to last the entire spell
-
- If Reaper of Fields is one of the active dragon auras, it will require both a Frenzy and Dragon Harvest, plus the Building Special.
- If the next detected spell is either Elder Frenzy or Cursed Finger, it will not cast this spell unless a Click Frenzy or Dragonflight is active for long enough to last the entire spell
Works like the smart method, but will only cast Click Specials and Building Specials. All other spells will be replacved with Haggler's Charm
Will sell one You and then cast Spontaneous Edifice, to try to get a free building. This spell becomes useless once you have over 400 of all buildings.
Will simply cast Haggler's Charm, regardless of a predicted positive or negative outcome. Mostly useful if you just want to cast spells as much as possible.
Double Cast FTHOF replaces all forms of Auto Cast. If the combo is enabled, it will look for a clicking frenzy and two building specials before casting, for a massive boost. Any other spell will be replaced by Haggler's Charm, with the same exceptions as the Smart Auto cast system above.
The possible combos are:
- Stored Click Frenzy and Elder Frenzy and a natural Frenzy or Dragon Harvest, plus a Building Special
- Stored Click Frenzy and a Building Special and a natural Frenzy or Dragon Harvest, plus a Building Special
- Two stored Building Specials and a natural Frenzy or Dragon Harvest, plus any clicking frenzy (Click Frenzy, Dragonflight, or Elder Frenzy)
-
- If Reaper of Fields is one of the active dragon auras, it will require both a natural Frenzy and Dragon Harvest, plus the other boost(s).
If such a combo is detected, it will quickly cast the first spell, sell enough wizard towers for dualcasting, then cast the second spell, for a four way boost in total. This can earn decades of cookies in a single combo.
Dualcasting does require a set level of minimum mana, depending on your Wizard Tower levels:
- WT level 1-4: 81 min mana
- WT level 5: 83 min mana
- WT level 6: 88 min mana
- WT level 7: 91 min mana
- WT level 8: 93 min mana
- WT level 9: 96 min mana
- WT level 10: 98 min mana
(Calculated with https://lookas123.github.io/CCGrimoireCalculator/ and https://www.desmos.com/calculator/r9mywixego)
For convenience sake, you can just set max mana to 100 for all WT levels. The code will work with any value equal to or higher than the minimum, but because of how the mana refueling system works setting having any higher than 100 mana is not recommended.
The combo will not work if you upgrade Wizard Towers beyond level 10.
Based on the 100% Consistency endgame click combo*, this is basically the FTHOF Double Casting Combo on steroids. It will only work with Wizard Towers on level 10 and a max mana of 100 (or higher). The 100% combo will completely automate almost every system and use a sugar lump to cast up to four spells in succession to get a maximum possible combo.
It follows the same rules as the FTHOF Double Casting Combo until it detects the next combo can be cast.
In order to use this, you must meet the following requirements:
- Have 98 or higher max mana
- Have at least 1 sugar lump in reserve (101 recommended to keep the Sugar baking bonus)
- The dragon must be fully upgraded, so you can have two auras
- Have at least 1 god swap in reserve, OR have both Godzamok in Diamond and Mokalsium in Ruby already
- Have whiskerblooms unlocked in the garden (any current plants will be harvested -- this includes growing Juicy queenbeets!)
For optimal use, also turn off any mine and factory building caps in Frozen Cookies settings before enabling the combo.
Note: while the combo is active, it will let any wrath cookies expire. This is by design, as they are incredibly likely to be clots.

Not technically a spell combo. If enabled, Auto Sweet will continually rapidly ascend until a grimoire seed with 'Sweet' (free Sugar Lump) in the first 10 spells is found, then it will cast Haggler's Charm until 'Sweet' has been cast. After that, it turns itself off.
WARNING: once activated, it can only disabled in the console with FrozenCookies.autosweet = 0 or if it has actually cast 'Sweet'. There is currently no way to turn it off on Steam.
This is an explanation of each piece of data contained in the Frozen Cookie menu screen:
- Next Purchase: This is what FC's formulas have determined is the optimal next purchase, and if autobuy is turned on, is what FC will buy next.
- Building Chain to: This is only visible if FC has calculated that the best purchase is an upgrade that has prerequisites that are not yet met. In that case, this is that upgrade (whereas the "Next Purchase" will be the recommended prerequisite to purchase).
- Time til completion: This is how long, at your current CPS, it will take to purchase the Next Purchase. This includes any calculated needed GC Bank.
- Time til Chain completion: Only visible if building to a chain, this is how long, at your current CPS, it will take to purchase all prerequisites and the target upgrade.
- Cost: The cost of the Next Purchase.
- Golden Cookie Bank: The amount of cookies that FC has calculated you should keep on hand as a bank to maximise the value from Golden Cookies.
- Base Δ CPS: The total amount of displayed CPS that will increase from the Next Purchase. (This includes all bonuses, regardless of what items they're on - it's just the raw amount that your CPS will increase above the Big Cookie.)
- Full Δ CPS: The amount of estimated effective CPS that will increase from the Next Purchase. This is the Base Δ CPS + the amount of change in the estimated CPS value of Golden Cookies.
- Purchase Efficiency: This is the efficiency calculation for the next purchase. If building to a chain, this may temporarily appear much worse than other options. If the recommendation engine formula changes, this number will too.
- Chain Efficiency: Only visible if building to a chain. This is the efficiency calculation for the entire chain. (This currently does not take into account CPS increases from the purchase of prerequisites, and thus is actually under-estimating how efficient the full chain will be, to simplify calculations. This may be changed at a later date.)
- Golden Cookie Efficiency: This the efficiency calculation of holding on to a bank of 10x Max Golden Cookie Value (and thus maximize the amount of Cookies earned across all Golden Cookie clicks).
- Current Average Cookie Value: This is the average value of Golden Cookies with your current CPS, Cookie Bank, and upgrades. This is the idealised equivalent to clicking 1000 Golden Cookies with your current CPS/Bank/Upgrades, and then dividing the total amount of Cookies gained by 1000. If your GC Average is currently maxed out, then this will be marked as (Max).
- Max Lucky Cookie Value: This is the absolute maximum value that you can get from a Lucky! Golden Cookie, with the upgrades you have purchased. (Specifically, if you have Get Lucky, it's 8400 _ Current CPS; Otherwise, it's 1200 _ Current CPS).
- Cookie Bank Required for Max Lucky: This is the amount of cookies needed to maximise a Lucky! Golden Cookie. It's just the previous value * 10.
- Estimated Cookie CPS: This is a rough estimate of how much CPS you'd effectively add by clicking every Golden Cookie. Currently, with the Autoclick GC turned off, this will return 0.
- Golden Cookie Clicks: The number of times you've clicked a Golden Cookie.
- Missed Golden Cookie Clicks: The number of times you've not clicked a Golden Cookie before it faded from view.
- Last Golden Cookie Effect: The internal name of the last Golden Cookie effect.
- Total Recorded Frenzy Time: The total amount of time (while FC was loaded) that has been spent in a Frenzy.
- Total Recorded Non-Frenzy Time: The total amount of time (while FC was loaded) that has been spent not in a Frenzy.
- HC Now: The number of HC currently owned.
- HC After Reset: The number of HC you'll have if you reset right now.
- Cookies to next HC: The number of cookies needed to gain one more HC after reset.
- Estimated time to next HC: This is how long, at your current CPS, it will take to make enough cookies to gain one more HC after reset.
- Time since last HC: This is how long it has been since the last time you gained an HC.
- Time to get last HC: This is how long it actually took (including lucky bonuses, frenzy time, etc) to gain the last HC.
- Average HC Gain/hr: When the last HC was gained, this was the total number of HC that have been gained (ever) since the last reset, divided by the total amount of play time. Used in conjunction with the next value, this provides a (very) rough estimate of when you should begin to think about resetting. (When Average HC/hr is constantly less than Prev HC/hr.)
- Previous Average HC Gain/hr: This is the same calculation as the previous, but for the HC prior to the last one. (Yes, it's confusing. Sorry.)
- Base CPS: This is how many cookies you create every second, when a Frenzy is not active. (Marked with (*) when this is the current CPS.)
- Frenzy CPS: This is how many cookies you create every second, when a Frenzy is active. (Marked with (*) when this is the current CPS.)
- Estimated Effective CPS: This is an estimate (over time) of roughly how many cookies you create every second, when including the effects of clicking Golden Cookies. This will currently be the same as the Base CPS if Autoclick GC is turned off.
- Game Started: How long it's been since the most recent reset.
This is actually a table of literally every purchase that Frozen Cookies is currently considering buying.
- Efficiency: The calculated Efficiency value of that purchase. This returns Infinity if the Δ CPS is negative. Smaller numbers are better.
- Cost: The cost of either the individual purchase, or the entire chain, for chained upgrades.
- Δ CPS: The full CPS change that buying this purchase would have. Includes estimated Golden Cookie CPS changes, meaning that it may be negative (especially for Elder Covenant.)
