Time to recoup chocolate seems far too low

[durron597]

Currently in my game with my HCs (9.347 million), with both autoclickers on at 250, Frozen Cookies suggests that it will take me 32m, 12s to recoup my next grandma (#325). I am pledging, no wrinklers.

This grandma costs me 4.498 sextillion cookies.

0.025% of this is 112.45 quintillion cookies.

According to a Cookie Clicker calculator, with both autoclickers at 250 I should have a CpS per grandma of 1.338 quadrillion cookies.

• If this number is accurate, it will take me 23.3 hours to recoup this grandma's contribution.
  • However, perhaps it's not properly factoring in the grandma's effect on golden cookie and reindeer payout.
• If this number is off by a factor of TWENTY (IMO way too high, even factoring in FCF), it will take me 1.17 hours to recoup this grandma's contribution.
  • Even so, this is still more than double the time required according to Frozen Cookies.

If I am doing the math wrong, please let me know.

Okay, I realized what I was doing wrong (there were a number of things), but mostly that I was not properly factoring in Golden Cookie production. My numbers are accurate if we assume I will never click a golden cookie, but that is clearly not the case. Sorry ;)
