The Idleverse is a building added in the alternate reality update. It is the eighteenth building in the game, costs 12 sextillion cookies and produces 8.3 trillion CpS by hijacking production from other idle universes.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Manifest destiny | Own 1 idleverse |  120 sextillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "While the ethics of ransacking parallel universes for their riches may seem questionable to some, you've reasoned that bringing the good word of your cookie empire to the unwashed confines of other realities is your moral duty, nay, your righteous imperative, and must be undertaken as soon as possible, lest they do it to you first!" |
684 |
|
|
The multiverse in a nutshell | Own 5 idleverses | 600 sextillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "The structure of the metacosmos may seem confusing and at times even contradictory, but here's what you've gathered so far:
Finally, each reality may have its own interpretation of the concept of "reality", for added fun." |
685 |
|
|
All-conversion | Own 25 idleverses | 6 septillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "It's quite nice that you can rewire the logic of each universe to generate cookies instead, but you still end up with parsec-loads of whatever they were producing before - baubles you've long made obsolete: cash money, gems, cheeseburgers, puppies... That's why you've designed the universal converter, compatible with any substance and capable of turning those useless spoils of conquest into the reassuring crumbly rustle of even more cookies." |
686 |
|
|
Multiverse agents | Own 50 idleverses | 600 septillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "You can send undercover spies to infiltrate each universe and have them signal you whether it's worth overtaking. Once the assimilation process started, they will also help pacify the local populations, having established trust through the use of wacky, but seamless, disguises." |
687 |
|
|
Escape plan | Own 100 idleverses | 60 octillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "You've set an idleverse aside and terraformed it to closely resemble this one in case something goes horribly wrong in here. Of course, the denizens of that idleverse also have their own escape idleverse to abscond to in the eventuality of your arrival, itself likely having its own contingency idleverse, and so on." |
688 |
|
|
Game design | Own 150 idleverses | 6 nonillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "Each idleverse functions according to some form of transcendental programming, that much is a given. But they also seem to be governed by much more subtle rules, the logic of which, when harnessed, may give you unparalleled dominion over the multiverse. Rewrite the rules! A game designer is you!" |
689 |
|
|
Sandbox universes | Own 200 idleverses | 6 decillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "It doesn't seem like you'll run out of extra universes anytime soon so why not repurpose some of them as consequence-free testing grounds for all your more existentially threatening market research? (...consequence-free for you, anyway.)" |
690 |
|
|
Multiverse wars | Own 250 idleverses | 6 undecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "Hmm, looks like some other universes wised up to your plundering. Thankfully, that's nothing your extra beefed-up metacosmic military budget can't handle!" |
691 |
|
|
Mobile ports | Own 300 idleverses | 6 duodecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "Accessing each outer universe is a bit of a hassle, requiring the once-in-a-blue-moon alignment of natural cosmic ports to transit from universe to universe. You've finally perfected the method of travel near-instantaneously along universal perimeters to permit headache-free multiverse connections. Took you long enough." |
692 |
|
|
Encapsulated realities | Own 350 idleverses | 6 tredecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "Untold feats of science went into the reduction of infinite universes into these small, glimmering, easy-to-store little spheres. Exercise infinite caution when handling these, for each of them, containing endless galaxies and supporting endless life, is more precious than you can ever fathom. They've also proven to be quite a smash hit in your warehouses on bowling nights." |
693 |
|
|
Extrinsic clicking | Own 400 idleverses | 60 quattuordecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "If you poke an idleverse, it seems like it gets work done faster. It's also quite fun hearing a trillion terrified voices screaming in unison." |
694 |
|
|
Universal idling | Own 450 idleverses | 600 quindecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "The nature of idleverses is found in waiting. The more you wait on an idleverse, the more exponentially potent it becomes - which saves you a whole lot of hard work. In a true act of zen, you've taken to biding your time when collecting new universes, let them ripen like a fine wine." |
695 |
|
|
Break the fifth wall | Own 500 idleverses | 6 septendecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "Huh, was that always there? Whatever it was, it's gone now. And what was behind is yours for the taking." |
716 |
|
|
Opposite universe | Own 550 Idleverses | 60 octodecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "You've located a universe where everything is reversed: up is down, light is darkness, clowns are vegetarians - but worst of all, some lunatic there is manufacturing abominable amounts of anti-cookies. If these came into contact with yours, everything would be lost! Thanks to this discovery, you've been able to place the offending universe in permanent quarantine, and pray that there aren't more like it hiding around somewhere." |
759 |
|
|
The other routes to Rome | Own 600 idleverses | 600 novemdecillion
|
Idleverses are twice as efficient. "Did you know every idleverse follows its own path of sequential buildings, sometimes quite dissimilar to our own? Grandpas, wind turbines, through the power of music, friendship, or legislation; those folks in there discovered ways to make cookies out of any random venue. Some of them don't even have idleverses, can you imagine?" |

- Idleverses have the longest building description in the whole game.
