Save Scumming
Save scumming is defined as reverting to an older version of your save to reroll an event that requires luck. It is considered cheating in some playstyles. It is up to you if you would like to use the following techniques or not. This does not include reloading to fix a minor mistake.
Types
Multitabbing
Multitabbing is opening multiple tabs to scum for anything that cannot be scummed for using imports or will be hastened by using multiple tabs, including Fortunes, Reindeer, Wrinklers, Golden Cookies, the Stock Market, and the Garden. Keep in mind that tabs may be unloaded.
GFD skipping
Saving and reloading immediately after Gambler’s Fever Dream casts a spell, thus only GFD’s mana is spent. If you get ST/RA/SE, let it resolve and see if it will work or not. If it doesn’t reload. If it does, GFD skip again. You may export instead of saving and reloading to prevent autosave from messing you up but it is harder to execute.
Seeded outcome scumming
When the total spell count, backfire chance, and seed are the same, the grimoire will give one outcome and one outcome only. The same applied to the shimmering veil except with cookie or shimmer clicks and veil upgrades. After setting up the conditions, export, cast a spell or click a cookie, you now know what will happen on the next spell or click. Repeat for other spells, seasons, and spells that are further in the future. A variation of the strategy with ascending until the desired spell sequence is found.
Garden scumming
Export right before a tick is about to happen, and then import until the desired result is obtained. In order for the garden to change, the imports must be after the tick.
Lump scumming
Lump Scumming may be performed by changing the lump fall time by harvesting the lump or changing the grandma count to something below 600, and exporting into somewhere to save for later. When the lump type can be determined (roughly 10 hours after falling), import all saves into the game until the desired lump type shows up. If grandma scumming, import multiple times to check if the discrepancy will change the lump type.
Seasonal scumming
For wrinklers, export, pop the wrinkler, export again if it drops a seasonal and repeat. For easter, use the above method, or dragon orb a golden cookie, click to see if it gives an egg, and import again if it gives a buff that’s not cookie storm. If you get an egg and no buff or cookie storm, export and repeat.
Combo redo
Exporting after everything that requires naturals and before the execution is done for a chance of more cookies. Keep in mind that ghost tulips and onscreen golden cookies go away after reloading or a tick, and golden clover boosts aren’t instantly applied upon reload.
Fortune scum
Get F DH BS naturally, plant, cast all that is needed for now, and get DF or BS naturally. Click all onscreen golden cookies and export. Hope that fortune spawns in while finishing the sexcast, and hope that the fortune golden cookie gives the desired buff 2 news messages after loading the game.
