1. What is Cookie Clicker CPS?

CPS (Cookies Per Second) is a key metric in Cookie Clicker that measures how many cookies you're generating automatically each second. It's the sum of your base CPS, upgrades, and buildings.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CPS formula:

Where:

• \( BaseCPS \) — Your base cookies per second
• \( Upgrades \) — CPS from all upgrades
• \( Buildings \) — CPS from all buildings

Explanation: The equation simply sums all sources of cookie production to give your total production rate.

3. Importance of CPS Calculation

Details: Knowing your CPS helps you plan your strategy, determine how long it will take to reach certain goals, and decide whether to invest in more buildings or upgrades.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your base CPS, upgrades CPS, and buildings CPS in cookies per second. All values must be non-negative numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find these values in the game?
A: Base CPS is shown in the stats menu. Upgrades and buildings CPS can be calculated by subtracting base CPS from your total CPS when you have no upgrades/buildings.

Q2: What's a good CPS rate?
A: This depends on your game stage. Early game might be 1-10 cookies/s, while late game can reach millions or more.

Q3: How do I increase my CPS?
A: Buy more buildings, purchase upgrades, complete achievements, and use golden cookies effectively.

Q4: Does CPS include manual clicking?
A: No, this calculator only measures passive CPS. Manual clicking adds to your total production but isn't included in CPS.

Q5: Why is my actual CPS different from the calculation?
A: Some upgrades have multiplicative effects or special conditions that aren't accounted for in this simple additive formula.
