Diamonds can be used to purchase otherwise unobtainable goods and bonuses or to speed up [[Research|'''research''']] time.
Most diamond Diamond purchases are available in the premium panel and provide permanent power-ups.
Similarly to [[Resources#Dark Matter|'''Dark Matter''']], diamonds Diamonds are never reset when attacking [[Planets|'''planets''']] or entering a '''[[Black Hole]]'''.
=Obtaining Diamonds=
*There are several ways how to obtain Diamonds. The most straightforward is to simply purchase a [[Microtransactions#Diamond_mines|Diamond Pack]]. However, it is also possible to obtain Diamonds by simply progressing through the game or from [[Daily Login Rewards|daily logins]]. Other ways of obtaining Diamonds for free include participating in events or watching [[In-game Ads|ads]]. ==Microtransactions==Buying Diamonds via microtransactions requires an active internet connection.{{diamond mines table}} '''from microtransactionsMain pages:'''[[Microtransactions]]

Diamonds can be spent to '''instantly complete any [[===Completing Research|research]]''' that currently is in progress.===The cost depends on the remaining {{diamond research time.}}
The cost for instantly completing '''[[Resources#Nanobots|nanobot]] production''' is calculated differently, but it also depends on the amount of remaining research time.===Bacteria Mutations==={{mutation reveal descr}}
By spending some diamonds, it is also possible to reveal the result of [[Research#Bacteria Mutations|'''bacteria mutation''']]. The cost depends on the level of bacteria that are being mutated:
