Base Production of a Shipment
- Base CPS (Cookies Per Second) of 1 Shipment: 260 cookies per second (CPS).
Factors That Influence Shipment Production
- Number of Shipments Owned:
- Each additional Shipment adds another 260 CPS to your total base production (before upgrades).
- Example:
- 1 Shipment: 260 CPS
- 10 Shipments: 2,600 CPS
- 100 Shipments: 26,000 CPS
- Building-Specific Upgrades:
- Shipments have upgrades that significantly boost their production. Some examples include:
- Vanilla Nebulae: Doubles Shipment output.
- Wormholes: Further boosts Shipment production.
- Shipments have upgrades that significantly boost their production. Some examples include:
- General Upgrades:
- Global upgrades, such as Cookie Production Multiplier or Building Efficiency Multiplier, increase Shipment production along with other buildings.
- Synergy Upgrades:
- Synergies with other buildings can increase Shipment production. For example:
- Shipment + Farms Synergy: Boosts production of both Shipments and Farms.
- Synergies with other buildings can increase Shipment production. For example:
- Buffs (Golden Cookies):
- Temporary buffs, such as Frenzy (x7 production), Click Frenzy, or stacking effects from Golden Cookies, can multiply Shipment production significantly.
- Dragon Auras:
- Assigning Radiant Appetite or other multipliers via Krumblor the Cookie Dragon amplifies cookie production, including Shipments.
- Mini-Games:
- Bonuses from the Garden (Farms) or Pantheon (Temples) can indirectly affect your overall CPS, benefiting Shipments as well.
Example Calculation
If you own 50 Shipments with no upgrades or buffs:
- Base CPS = 50×260=13,00050 \times 260 = 13,00050×260=13,000 CPS.
If you purchase the Vanilla Nebulae upgrade (doubles Shipment production):
- CPS = 13,000×2=26,00013,000 \times 2 = 26,00013,000×2=26,000 CPS.
If you trigger a Frenzy buff (x7 production):
- CPS during Frenzy = 26,000×7=182,00026,000 \times 7 = 182,00026,000×7=182,000 CPS.
Key Tips for Maximizing Shipment Output
- Buy Upgrades: Invest in all Shipment-specific upgrades to maximize their production.
- Use Golden Cookies: Trigger buffs like Frenzy during peak production periods.
- Explore Synergies: Purchase upgrades that boost Shipments and complementary buildings.
- Reinvest Cookies: As Shipments become more expensive, balance your spending between Shipments and other high-output buildings like Portals or Time Machines.
With strategic upgrades and buffs, Shipments can contribute significantly to your cookie empire during the mid-game. Keep building and upgrading for optimal efficiency! 🚀🍪
