    Anyone know how to make the candies converter work faster? I've had it convert super fast in the past, but I'm not sure what I did to make it happen.

    Does it convert at anything other than a fixed rate? I'd like to know the answer too.

    It starts slow, but accelerates over time as long as you leave it running. However, it's not linear.

    from candiesConverter.js:

    // We increment the speed
    if(this.speed < 10000) this.speed += 1;
    else this.speed *= 2;

    I read somewhere that the rate goes up exponentially and at ~17 minutes all of your candies should be converted. And I feel I've gotten that to work once, but not again. So so many candies...

    Is there a reason to even use the candy converter? I generate 100 lollipops/second and only 3 candies/second. Why would I want to convert candies into lollipops when candies are the scarce resource? Does it eventually get the ability to change lollipops into candies?

    Lollipops are the resource in demand though, at least it is for me at this point in the game, when I only need tens of thousands of candies for the cauldron but millions of lollipops for the sorceress stuff. The extra 34 candies/s I get now really helps my lollipop count.

    You are going to need lots and lots of lollipops. Like way more than whatever you have now.

    Yeah, at the end of the game you're going to want a lot of lollipops, and you're going to have way more candies than lollis. Like maybe possibly just perhaps in the billions.

    I found it went the other way, I am spending my lollipops to get candies at 300k for 300k from the witch. I am boosting my health waaaay up.

    Yup, lots and lots of candies, equals lots and lots of lollipops. The demand fluctuates between the two, and a whole lot of one can lead to a whole lot of the other. Here's where I stand now, with no hacks or script editing.
