The Portal is the 9th building in Cookie Clicker, and it is one of the first late-game buildings that significantly boosts your Cookies Per Second (CPS). It serves as a gateway to another dimension, pulling in cookies from mysterious realms beyond reality.
1️⃣ BASE COOKIE PRODUCTION OF A PORTAL
| Building | Base CPS (Cookies Per Second) | Base Price |
|---|---|---|
| Portal 🌀 | 260,000 CPS | 1 billion cookies |
- The Portal’s CPS increases as you buy more and as you unlock upgrades.
- Like all buildings, its price rises exponentially with each purchase.
📌 Fact: Portals are one of the first buildings to cost over 1 billion cookies, marking a transition into the mid-to-late game phase.
2️⃣ HOW TO INCREASE PORTAL COOKIE PRODUCTION
If you want your Portals to generate even more cookies, you can enhance their power using upgrades, synergies, and Golden Cookies.
✅ IMPORTANT UPGRADES FOR PORTALS
| Upgrade | Effect | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sanity Dance | Portals are twice as efficient | 5 billion cookies |
| Brane Transplant | Portals are twice as efficient | 50 billion cookies |
| Deity-Sized Portals | Portals are twice as efficient | 500 billion cookies |
📌 Each upgrade doubles Portal efficiency, making them produce much more than the base 260,000 CPS.
3️⃣ USING THE GRANDMAPOCALYPSE TO BOOST PORTALS
The Grandmapocalypse is a late-game event that corrupts your Grandmas, making them stronger and giving certain buildings massive CPS boosts.
✅ GRANDMA SYNERGY UPGRADES FOR PORTALS
| Upgrade | Effect |
|---|---|
| Arcane Sugar | Portals work better with Grandmas |
| Elder Pact | Grants a huge CPS boost for Portals when the Grandmapocalypse is active |
📌 Strategy: Activate the Grandmapocalypse, let Wrinklers build up, and use Golden Cookie combos for maximum Portal efficiency!
4️⃣ HOW TO MAXIMIZE PORTAL EFFICIENCY WITH GOLDEN COOKIES
Golden Cookies provide powerful temporary buffs that can multiply your CPS, making Portals much more effective.
✅ BEST GOLDEN COOKIE EFFECTS FOR PORTALS
- Frenzy (x7 CPS for 77 seconds) → Your Portals will produce 7x more cookies!
- Click Frenzy (x777 cookies per click for 13 seconds) → If combined with an Auto-Clicker, this can generate trillions of cookies instantly.
- Building Special (Instant Production for 1 minute) → Makes your buildings generate 1 minute of cookies instantly.
📌 Pro Tip: Stack Frenzy + Click Frenzy for insane cookie production!
5️⃣ SHOULD YOU BUY MORE PORTALS OR SAVE FOR A TIME MACHINE?
After buying several Portals, you’ll notice that newer buildings become more efficient. The next building after Portals is the Time Machine, which has a base CPS of 1.7 million—significantly higher than a Portal.
✅ BEST STRATEGY FOR MID-TO-LATE GAME
- Buy some Portals to increase CPS but don’t overspend.
- Start saving for a Time Machine because it provides much more CPS.
- Upgrade Portals with synergy upgrades, but prioritize newer buildings for faster progress.
🎯 FINAL TIP: ARE PORTALS WORTH IT?
✔ Portals are essential for mid-game cookie production.
✔ Upgrades and Golden Cookies can make them extremely powerful.
✔ Don’t overinvest—saving for Time Machines and Antimatter Condensers is a better long-term strategy!
Portals are a game-changing building, and with the right upgrades & strategies, they can help you bake trillions of cookies! 🍪🔥🚀
