I'm sure you've given a lot of thought to the update, and let me just say in the little bit I played with it I was blown away. But in regards to the Heavenly chips to cookies part of the update, do you think that the conversion rate would be better suited to a logarithmic or exponential calculation instead of a flat rate of 10 to 1? It seems like it would suit the flow of the game better with striving for incremental boosts each ascension rather than adding a larger chunk of a boost.

that’s actually a good idea

initially the reason behind the “you need 1 trillion cookies to get the first heavenly chip, 2 more trillions for the second one, 3 more for the third one” etc system was mostly just because I wanted to be cute and thought it’d be enough of a slow curve

but then I started seeing people with millions of HCs and it was just ridiculous and aaah I kind of intended people to just get a few every reset

I might switch to the progression buildings use instead, so we can have more reasonable prices for prestige upgrades and so I can boost heavenly cookies without worrying about abominable CpS mutlipliers (and so HCs can feel special and rare)

what do you guys think
