I'm having a lot of fun with a spreadsheet. I'm trying to answer the basic question of the game: Do I buy this cheap, not-powerful thing now? Or wait to afford the more expensive thing that produces more cookies?
I've gotten it down to an answerable question: Assuming I'm buying one of both building A and B, is it faster to buy A first or B first? Looking at this screenshot, it's better to wait and buy a Chancemaker before almost any other building I currently own. This was actually not the case one purchase ago, when it was faster to buy a Prism, even though the value of the chancemaker was higher. Maybe not surprising, but it was the first time I'd seen this case, and it's important not to think that better value always means good purchase.
Weirdly, it looks like it's worth buying Farms, Mines and Factories first, even though these contribute next to nothing at the moment. The time gained is on the level of like 10^-13 seconds though.
