Gems

Gems

Gems are a premium progression currency used for account-level upgrades, utility spending, and acceleration.

They are not your main run currency, but they are extremely important for long-term power growth.

Main Uses

Gems are spent on:

• Boost purchases (random boost cards)
• Worker purchases (random worker progress)
• Mechanic upgrades
• Gem Upgrades (base/increase levels in Gem shop mode)
• Buying new server slots
• Skipping Download time (hour-based gem skip)
• A few utility actions (example: name change)

High-Impact Gem Spending

In most progression paths, these are your best-value gem sinks:

1. Gem Upgrades (permanent scaling)
2. Core utility slots/mechanics
3. Boost/Worker growth (depending on account stage)
4. Download time skips when timing is critical

How Gems Are Earned

Common sources include:

• Milestone rewards (major source)
• Boss-related reward outcomes
• Periodic claimable gem rewards
• Some game events/minigame-related rewards
• Ads/reward offers (when used)
• Store purchases (optional)

Gems and Download Skips

Downloads can be sped up with Gems using hour-based skipping.

Practical use:

• Strong for important unlock downloads
• Usually best saved for bottleneck downloads, not every timer

Strategic Importance

Gems are also indirectly valuable because some long-term systems scale with gem ownership (for example, daemon-based scaling effects).

So spending Gems gives power now, while holding Gems can also have scaling interactions depending on unlocked systems.

Practical Tips

• Don’t dump all Gems into one system early.
• Prioritize unlock-enabling progression first (slots/mechanics/key upgrades).
• Spend aggressively when it unlocks major account progression.
• Use skip-to-finish only on high-impact downloads.

Quick Summary

Gems are a flexible premium progression currency:

• used for permanent upgrades,
• used for utility acceleration,
• and critical for smoothing progression bottlenecks.
