Income-multiplier Upgrades
223 out of these 224 upgrades contribute to a multiplier of the cookie income, which is the total output of all the buildings equipped with their respective upgrades. The income-multiplier upgrades are a mid-game to end-game feature because they become very expensive.
Flavored Cookies
Flavored cookies increase the base multiplier, which starts at 100%. These bonuses stack multiplicatively. Any multipliers from heavenly chips are treated in the same way as flavored cookies in that they are also added multiplicatively. Template:Cookie upgrades
Of the 211 cookies, 203 have a fixed CpS multiplier, one (Green Yeast Digestives) does not provide a multiplier, and seven (heart biscuits) have a variable multiplier. The total CpS multiplier from the 203 standard cookies is:
If Selebrak is worshipped in the Pantheon, and/or if the Starlove heavenly upgrade has been purchased, the heart biscuits have increased CpS boost. The total CpS boost is as follows for each combination of Selebrak and Starlove:
Selebrak: | N/A | Jade | Ruby | Diamond |
---|---|---|---|---|
Without Starlove | 1395957.6% | 1415230.9% | 1434731.8% | 1454462.6% |
With Starlove | 1494622.8% | 1525363.2% | 1556644% | 1588473.1% |
Kitten Upgrades
Each kitten upgrade boosts the CpS multiplier by a percentage proportionate to the Milk amount and each upgrade's effect stacks with another multiplicatively. For example:
- Kitten helpers boost the CpS by 10% of the Milk amount. So with a Milk level of 150%, Kitten helpers will boost CpS by 1 + 0.1 × 1000.5 = 1.15 = 115%
- Kitten workers boost the CpS by 12.5% of the Milk amount. With a Milk level of 150%, Kitten workers will boost CpS by 1 + 0.125 × 1.5 = 1.1875 = 118.75%
- With both Kitten helpers and Kitten workers upgrades, the overall Kitten multiplier will be 1.15 × 1.1875 = 1.365625 = 136.5625%
You can check the overall Kitten multiplier (which accounts for the following upgrades, as well as the heavenly upgrade Kitten angels with its milk factor of 0.1) at the top of the Achievements section in Stats. There are other factors which can increase the milk power. See Milk for more details.

Bingo Center/Research Facility
After you have the elder achievement and own at least 7 grandmas you are eligible to get the "Bingo Center/Research Facility", which costs 1 quadrillion cookies (as of version 2). After you purchase it, it will research an upgrade with each research period taking 30 minutes without "Persistent memory" heavenly upgrade and 3 minutes with it. However: research time is based on frames, not minutes. The game naturally runs at 30fps. If you alter that to 5fps to reduce load on your CPU, upgrades will then take 3 hours. At 10fps they take 1 hour 30 minutes, at 20fps they take 45 minutes, and so on. Research on the next upgrade will not begin until the previously researched item has been purchased.
If you want "Sacrificial rolling pins" without waiting, you can buy "Elder Pledge", then "Elder Covenant", then "Revoke Elder Covenant", then repeat until you've unlocked the upgrade.

- The flavor text for the "Undecillion fingers" upgrade is a reference to the movie "The Year Without A Santa Claus"
- Version 2 changed quite a few upgrades:
- All upgrades that "added x base CpS" to the buildings were changed to another "doubles efficiency" upgrade, which was a buff because the base CpS increase was less than the original base CpS, and each upgrade stacks with all others (except the doubling efficiency of cursors and their -illion fingers)
- Every -illion fingers upgrade for the cursors except "thousand fingers" and (maybe) "million fingers" were buffed, so now all of them except "thousand fingers" add 5x10x cookies per cursor. "Octillion fingers" now gives 5 million CpS per cursor instead of around 200,000 (needs correction).
- This is later changed again where each upgrade becomes multiplicative, from "Trillion fingers" onwards by 20 instead of the flat increase by 10 times. However, it also makes the highest "finger" upgrade no longer give an incredible flat amount of cookies per click at the start of a new ascension.
- As stated above, Persistent Memory is no longer an actual upgrade, but now a legacy upgrade, costing 5 heavenly chips.
- Upgrades that add to the cookie production multiplier (i.e. Santa's Dominion adds +20% cookie production) were buffed to be global, so the percentages were reduced. Cookie upgrades that added +5% made the percentage, for example, go from 1,000% go up to 1,005% production. Now, those +5% cookie upgrades give +1% cookie production, and would boost the percentage from 1,000% to 1,010%.
- The description of certain research upgrades were changed to match how they really act. One Mind, for example, originally said "grandmas gain +1 base CpS per 50 grandmas," implying you may need to get 50 grandmas for a CpS boost. Now, it says "grandmas gain +0.02 CpS per grandma," showing that each grandma boosts every other grandma by 0.02 base CpS, instead of requiring 50 to get the boost.
- Some cookies/biscuits (i.e. Macarons) now require a Heavenly Upgrade to purchase.
