Unshackling

[Warkonst]

The new heavenly upgrades have this unshackling effect that I do not really understand.

Can someone please explain how they work?

you can unshackle buildings and upgrades so they make more cookies

It makes the upgrades for early buildings more powerful, so that they're actually useful once you can afford to buy the later buildings.

You need to unlock buildings and tiers separately, and unshackling a building doesn't do anything on it's own. Once a building is unshackled, tier unshackling upgrades will make its upgrades more powerful. e.g. if you have unshackled farms and unshackled berrylium, the fertilizer upgrade will increase production by 280% instead of 100%.

Thank you for the explanation.
So I should not focus on unshackling buildings or flavors and just do them both at the same time to slowly unshackle the weaker buildings and strenghten them at the same time.

Basically, yes, just get the ones that are about the same price.

I asked if anybody had perfected the meta, found the fastest way about this a while ago, and it looks like nobody had a better stratagy.

OK. I will keep doing that then. Thank you for your help.

Does anyone know if the Unshackled cursors upgrade benefit from unshackled flavor upgrades?
I'm unsure because the description doesn't mention upgrades plural as the other ones do.
I need to know because currently ascending would not provide a worthwhile cps boost if my cursors are not being buffed.

I'm pretty sure U.Cursors don't use the flavours, and is just another multiplier for Thousand Fingers. Makes it very strong when first unlocking Unschackleds but doesn't scale much

sorry i found the answer about an hour after posting and forgot to delete
i found that you can actually hover over your upgrades and they say if they're getting an unshackled bonus
and cursor upgrades do not

ye, that's what i was basing it off lol
