Base Production of a Portal
- Base CPS (Cookies Per Second) of 1 Portal: 6,666 cookies per second (CPS).
Factors That Influence Portal Production
- Number of Portals Owned:
- The more Portals you own, the more cookies they generate collectively. Each additional Portal adds another 6,666 CPS to your total base production (before upgrades).
- 1 Portal: 6,666 CPS
- 10 Portals: 66,660 CPS
- 100 Portals: 666,600 CPS
- Upgrades:
- Building-Specific Upgrades: Unlock upgrades that increase the base production of Portals.
- Example: Ancient Tablet (Portal upgrade) doubles Portal output.
- General Production Upgrades: Multipliers like Reinforced Index Finger or Cookie Production Multiplier increase overall CPS, affecting Portals.
- Building-Specific Upgrades: Unlock upgrades that increase the base production of Portals.
- Synergies:
- Portals can benefit from synergy upgrades that boost production based on other buildings you own.
- Example: The Elder Pact upgrade during the Grandmapocalypse can improve Portal efficiency.
- Portals can benefit from synergy upgrades that boost production based on other buildings you own.
- Golden Cookies and Buffs:
- Temporary buffs like Frenzy (x7 production) or Click Frenzy (x777 click production) can significantly multiply your Portal’s CPS.
- Dragon Auras:
- Assigning auras like Radiant Appetite to Krumblor the Cookie Dragon can further multiply cookie production, including Portals.
- Mini-Games:
- Some mini-game bonuses (e.g., from the Pantheon or Grimoire) indirectly boost Portal production.
Practical Example
If you own 10 Portals with no upgrades or buffs:
- Total Base CPS = 10×6,666=66,66010 \times 6,666 = 66,66010×6,666=66,660 CPS.
If you add the Ancient Tablet upgrade (x2 Portal production):
- Total CPS = 66,660×2=133,32066,660 \times 2 = 133,32066,660×2=133,320 CPS.
If you trigger a Frenzy buff (x7 production):
- Total CPS during Frenzy = 133,320×7=933,240133,320 \times 7 = 933,240133,320×7=933,240 CPS.
Key Tips for Maximizing Portal Output
- Invest in Portal upgrades and synergy upgrades as soon as they become available.
- Use Golden Cookies and buffs strategically to multiply cookie production.
- Increase the total number of Portals for compounding CPS benefits.
- Participate in mini-games (e.g., Pantheon and Grimoire) for additional boosts.
With Portals being one of the more powerful mid- to late-game buildings, they can contribute significantly to your cookie empire when optimized. 🍪
