Diamonds can be used to purchase otherwise unobtainable goods and bonuses or to speed up research time.

Most diamond purchases are available in the premium panel and provide permanent power-ups.

Similarly to Dark Matter, diamonds are never reset when attacking planets or entering a Black Hole.

The list of possible rewards are listed on the Achievements page.

Ads

Diamond ads.png
By watching a 30 second long ad, the player can earn Diamonds.png5. Ads have an 8 hour long cooldown.
The amount of diamonds earned from watching a Red Bacteria ad is bigger and does not affect the regular ad cooldown.



Events

From 5th September to 17th September 2017 it was possible to earn up to Diamonds.png500 from participating in an event announced on the game's facebook page

Other

Some in-game actions give diamonds as a reward.

For example, destroying the 10th planet for the first time will yield Diamonds.png100

Diamond Purchases

Diamonds can be primarily spent in the Premium panel and in the Research Lab.

The Premium panel includes some unique permanent bonuses, but in the Research Lab the player can reduce the time necessary to produce resources or conduct other activities.

Premium

With the exception of bacteria cannon, all bonuses in the Premium panel can be purchased multiple times.
However, the increased BPS forever and extra scientist bonuses increase in price after each purchase.
The time machine has no purchase limit and does not increase in price.

Bacteria Cannon.png Bacteria cannon Increase BPC +250. Remains after planet attacks Diamonds.png50

Extra Scientist.png Extra scientist Get an extra scientist Diamonds.png100

Research Lab

Diamonds can be spent to instantly complete any research that currently is in progress. The cost depends on the remaining research time.

The cost for instantly completing nanobot production is calculated differently, but it also depends on the amount of remaining research time.

By spending some diamonds, it is also possible to reveal the result of bacteria mutation. The cost depends on the level of bacteria that are being mutated:

Mutation Level Cost
from 1 to 2 Diamonds.png15
from 2 to 3 Diamonds.png30
from 3 to 4 Diamonds.png45
