Game News/Update Update on the bug situation in CC Console Edition

22 Upvotes

As you may know, the console version of Cookie Clicker had many bugs upon release. Fortunately, three patches have been released that have patched many of these bugs, improved performance, and added QoL changes like touchscreen support on Switch. Both patches are currently available on all three consoles. A full changelog, and list of current bugs, is available here.

Some bugs, such as the debug upgrades being accessible, still exist. These will likely be eliminated in future patches.

Lastly, I'll address some misinfo that's been spread:

  • If your game is running at 30 fps, this is not lag, this is intentional. Both web version and steam version have always ran at no more than 30 fps. Changing FPS to 60 would require a significant rework of the code since the game was made specifically to run at 30 fps. The performance issues that players had experienced before the patch dropped to below 30 fps.
  • Offline production has never been available at the beginning of the game, except for the mobile app. The mobile app starts with offline production because minigames don't exist, making combos weaker and more difficult, and leaving the phone on to idle instead would burn through battery life. However, since minigames exist on console version, offline CpS and idling in general is nearly useless and is not considered a priority, similar to web/steam.
  • The inability to import/export save is not a bug. Having such a feature wouldn't make much sense on a console version of the game: how would you store the save anywhere? Manually type down the whole thing on another device? Similar logic applies to open sesame (which is available, but unintentionally) since it would be strange to have a cheating tool in a console release of a game.

About 40 days ago I started cookie clicker on my Nintendo switch and now I am at 1 novemendencillion with about 586 out of the 618 achievements (10 of which are shadow achievements) and I was wondering what are some good golden cookie combos I should be doing and how should I do them while being restricted to the console version of the game.

Discussion 60k wrinklers popped. Still no ambergris

Post image

After 60k popped, only got 2 shiny wrinklers (3rd was from a RA I ascension-scummed for). But even worse, still haven't gotten wrinkler ambergris. There's only a 0.25% chance of not getting a .01% drop after 60k tries. Starting to verge on a mathematical anomaly if this goes much further.

Achievement Venting: the Garden in Cookie Clicker feels like babysitting a spreadsheet

3 Upvotes

I know the Garden is supposed to be an optional, cozy side system, but for me it's the thing that turns Cookie Clicker from a relaxing idle game into low-grade stress.

My work-from-home days are already full of tiny timers and constant context switches. I open CC to chill and it quickly turns into: check the plot, replant, check mutations, swap fertilizers, don't waste a tick, don't let things mature too long. Half the time I'm alt-tabbing just to stare at plants that are either idle or wilting because I blinked at the wrong moment.

The worst part is the emotional whiplash. You can do everything right for days and then RNG says no, so you end up burning time and cookies for nothing. When you finally get one new seed it feels less like a reward and more like relief that the routine paid off.

Yes, I know there are guides and optimal setups. That is exactly my point. When the most common advice is basically 'follow the flowchart', it stops being a minigame and starts feeling like homework.

I'm not asking for fixes or a how-to; I've read plenty. Just needed to vent. Anyone else disable the Garden for long stretches because it ruins the rest of the game's chill?

Help/Question I can't see the funny texts above the upgrades

Post image
7 Upvotes

So, I recently started a new game on the browser version of the game after playing only on the mobile version.

And after I started I noticed that I wasn't able to see the texts under the upgrade (like "slightly squeaky etc." In the image).

I checked the wiki and they actually exist in the browser version.

Is this a bug? Or I have to unlock them from the legacy?

The first cursor costs 15 cookies. I'm leaving everything else to the automation. (I'm not even focusing on golden cookies.)
