Game News/Update Update on the bug situation in CC Console Edition
As you may know, the console version of Cookie Clicker had many bugs upon release. Fortunately, two patches have been released that have patched many of these bugs and improved performance. 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. Other QoL changes such as being able to use touchscreen on switch version are also in the works.
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.

Funny Oh, come on...
This is my 5th patch of queenbeets this ascension, and my 32nd overall attempt. I plant them all at the same time but I usually only get 6~8 ticks on each square. This square, as you can see, will have 0 ticks.
The only upside is that I can pull off simple garden combos to make total progress leaps.
Wish there was a soil that got plants to grow evenly.

Achievement Need help with last achievements
I'm at end game and want to obtain 100% of steam achievements. To do so I need to bake 1 trevigintillion in one ascension.
My main (and only) strategy is growing all QueenBeets and waiting to a golden cookie that gives me a building multiplier. Then I spawn two more golden cookies with "Force the hand of fate" spell (by selling wizard towers in order to cast the spell two times).
With a bit of luck, golden cookies give me more multiplier and then I toggle on Golden Switch, Shimmering Veil and/or 2on loan (depending on the CpS to cookies in bank ratio). At last, of course, I harvest all QueenBeets to obtain as many hours of cookie production as I can.
This strategy is taking me forever. Is there a better way to farm lots of cookies?

Achievement 638 hours later - I finally got the Garden's seed catalogue completed! Now to wait ~17 more hours to get the Juicy Queenbeet! Spoiler

Discussion Why is switch version so bad ?
Run poorly, no touch screen, no mouse control, no production when game closed
How is it even possible to make progress, at this point it's just been 10H of watching with nothing to do
First ascent is 1 billion cookies and I'm still under 1 million per second
How could they sell such garbage ? It's just a shit port cash grab just as most of pc ports

Discussion How long to speedrun with Opensesame?
I was thinking about this, how long do you think it would take to 100% cookie clicker using Opensesame?(including shadow achievements, not including the 1 year one) because I dont think the answer is as straightforward as 5 minutes. also btw ur not allowed to use the all achievements button or the debug item thing that you can give yourself advancements. what are your thoughts?
also this is not related but does anybody know the context behind this (this used to have a different picture )

Help/Question 4th Juicy Queenbeet question
I have 3 juicy queenbeets already sprouting in my 6x6 plot and I have been savescumming to get the 4th for 3-4 hours straight.
Do I keep going or just settle with I have? I’m kinda loathing this. It infuriates me whenever duketaters and shriekbulbs keep on appearing instead

Help/Question Am I using the garden right?

Am i stupid or just unlucky

Achievement Is there any way to make the eldeer advancement easier to get?
I don't really know of any way to make this advancement easier to get, do any of you know if there is any method of getting this advancement that doesn't rely on mostly luck? I know golden cookies spawn in a routine manner, but I am unaware whether reindeer are also coded into the game in this manner.
