10:48 If you export a ton of saves and import them afterwards, even if the lump falls naturally before you import the save, it will still reward the achievement if it would have been a golden sugar lump regardless of how long you wait to import the save. You can even import the save multiple times to get the full 7 lump benefit. Hope this makes it less stressful :)
I started playing this game in 2016. Came back to the game after i stumbled on my old save file with 2000 sugar lumps- didn’t realize how awesome that was. Every update I just level the new building to 15 and generally never go below 300. Still never got a golden though awesome strat
@@Oreothecat277 I'm going to guess not a lot. Tons of updates came out to make cookie gain exponentially faster. If you're still playing, you almost certainly got more cookies in the 9 months since this comment than they got in 7 years
If an addon doesn't feel like cheating to you, cookie monster tells you what kind of lump you have immediately. The export/import step just becomes refreshing/checking, and that way you can do the garden strat at the same time
A funny thing just happened, i watched the video and were like holy shit thats gonna take a while. Then I found your comment and downloaded the addon. I hovered over my current sugar lumb and realized the one i have right now is a golden one xdddd so a big thank you to that comment, you saved my life
Great video Aza! You never disappoint, one small funny thing I'd like to share however is that I don't have the best relationship with the golden sugar lump. About two months ago, something crazy happened, believe it or not, as crazy as this sounds, it took me 2000 exports using the method with the spreadsheets to actually get a golden sugar lump, most of the times when I used this save scumming method, i would do about 100-200 saves, but one day after making like 900 exports and still not getting the golden sugar lump, I decided to bite the bullet and go crazy as I opened a new spreadsheet and did 1075 exports which might sound impossible but what I did, is that I used all of the four hours of the sugar lump being mature/ripe/etc and I was being really fast making new saves with different outcomes, then, once the sugar lump was a few seconds away from falling, I sold my grandmas which made me gain one extra hour of clicking and exporting my save thanks to the heavenly upgrade that makes it so your number of grandmas (capped to 600) makes sugar lumps ripen 6 seconds faster, meaning that if you sell them, you have more time to click the sugar lumps to add up some saves. Once that's finished, I wake up tomorrow morning, feeling really excited, and to my horror, none of the thousand saves that I created had a golden sugar lump in it... I was devastated because that meant that the 2000 or so export saves I've done in total only resulted in many caramelized sugar lumps but still, no golden. However, this story has a good ending, because after that, I decided to again try to go for a special kind of sugar lump and this time I actually only did 75 exports and was hoping to get just a caramelized lump , and to my surprise, the golden sugar lump actually showed up! And something even more mind blowing happens next because 2 days after that, I came back from school, only to open Cookie Clicker and play the garden a bit with no expectations in mind and what do I see, another GOLDEN sugar lump that I didn't save scum in the slightest, there were 0 exports done to that golden sugar lump which was insane. And then something even more shocking approaches as like a week or so later, I only do 11 exports with a meaty sugar lump (meaning that I had to keep reloading until I got the desired number of sugar lumps harvested to then paste the save) and all I was looking for was a bifurcated sugar lump or something like that, and out of those 11, the 6th one was also a golden sugar lump... Fr my luck with the golden sugar lump started as a chore that was complete balderdash and ended up having a Disney movie type of end where everyone becomes happy. Now to anyone that took the time to actually read this essay, thank you very much, I truly appreciate you and also to anyone that doesn't believe me, I still have those spreadsheets and all the screenshots so if anyone is interested of actually seeing this in reality, feel free to say it I could send them over discord or something.
Idk know if aza said this or if someone in the comments already has but be warned that when doing the golden lump strat you technically can’t get any progress in the next like 18 hours cuz when you get a golden lump or idk a Carmel one you will end up reverting back to where you were when you got all the saves so I recommend doing this late game when everything is slowing down or just don’t play for a day and go touch grass
I found a new strategy (even though it isn't worth it due to the low chances) With the heavenly upgrade "Distilled essence of redoubled luck" there is a 1% of getting 2 natural golden cookies at the same time. If one is a frenzy and the other is a building special, you can wait for an extra (natural) building special/elder frenzy. Then, you can use the grimoire to cast 3 building specials and a click frenzy. With a full garden of whiskerblooms, you would get an insane amount of cookies.
My luck has been pretty good in cookie clicker. I’ve gotten 2 golden lumps and two shiny wrinklers without any strategies, just pure rng. And out of those lumps and wrinklers, I got a shiny and a golden in the span of about one week. They were all last year too.
I was save scumming the Juicy Queenbeets for a long time...but then I thought why not just save scum EVERY plant to get through the whole log? The Juicy Queenbeets took so long to grow you could get everything else done while it was growing. Each cycle took a little longer for the time spent unlocking Queenbeets, but I went from 4 Sugar Lumps per cycle to 14. If you really want to speed things up and have the time to play super actively, just grow a single Juicy Queenbeet and save scum on every single tick until it progresses. Juicy Queenbeets grow irregularly, they have like a 1/12 chance of growing 12 ticks closer to maturity each tick, so save scumming every tick makes it grow ~12 times faster, cutting down the 2 day growth to just 4 or 5 hours. At that point the length of each cycle comes down to how fast you can get out an Everdaisy instead (little over a day)
late to the party on this, but... Can't you inspect your save file using a save editor so you don't need to wait for the ripening stage determine if it is a golden sugar lump?
What a coincidence that the first sugar lump I spent on was the wizard tower. (I did not watch a video I just went with my gut) what crazy coincidence was that?
theoretically for an active player, using dragon orb would be more effective than using reality bending would it not? I feel like you could get the rare sugar lump golden cookie reward much quicker than what 10% of what dragon curve gets you.
i would have to disagree, the chance for a suagr lump from a golden cookie is extremely rare, and you would waste a lot of cookies from selling the building
Just because this comment talks about that kind of GC I just wanna say on how I started playing the game about a month ago but I got TWO SUGAR LUMPS FROM GOLDEN COOKIES. I ONLY HAVE 1900 GOLDEN COOKIES CLICKED
there's a mod that let's you refresh the game in a similar way to pressing F5 on the web version (CTRL+R in this case). It's called Quick Refresh and doesn't disable achievements.
yeeeah i think i'll just wait a few years thanks i've already got the golden sugar lump from pure rng so i don't really need to do this good guide though

Managed to get a little over 900 saves to look for golden sugar lumps in, exactly 500th had the golden :D
Yes you did 🤥
I've been playing since 2013 and I really don't believe I have ever gotten a golden sugar lump. Didn;t even know they existed.

How do you refresh cookie clicker on the steam version?
you cant, you need a mod for that
Well, I want to learn about sugar lumps, but I also want to comment about this videos having 69k views as the 100th comment in this sublime section
yay new aza video
I remember save scumming this and making the same mistake so many times! Muscle memory is painful.
Wrong set up for juicy queenbeet
What do you do with your wizard towers during this process? Do you more or less have to halt your cookie making progress trying to get sugar lumps?
funny thing, i accidentally got a glump on my 10th day of playing (yesterday)

What a coincidence that the first sugar lump I spent on was the wizard tower. (I did not watch a video I just went with my gut) what crazy coincidence was that?
Are the sugar lump type decided in the moment of the previous one being manually collected?
yes or when it falls automatically. You must have the game open at any point during its growing process however.
use the web version save to file button spam saves then go load by save, saves time!
a very helpful guide

If you see two saves that have the same string of characters then its save to assume its the same as the first one
