Answered Paying for research

[Jake65]

Looking at this screenshot, is it possible to use diamonds to complete all research in a chapter?
I don't have any settlement buildings yet so the guest race goods are unobtainable at the moment.
I'm certainly not considering (or encouraging) this approach but am just wondering if it can be done.

I believe that it is entirely possible @Jake65. Although it would be insanely expensive to use diamonds to pay for 'all research in a chapter', I have paid for particular research shortages, once or twice. In fact I will probably have to do this in order to complete the final two activations at the end of Chapter 20. (I don't have the required storage amount of Portal goods.)

not for 952 diamonds it isn't.

insanely expensive

I can imagine, I'm not going to do the maths to confirm it though

https://idavis-elvenar.com/guestRaces/teamspirit.html#research tells me that 3425 are needed.

I'm in the same chapter, and the residences research is 4494 diamonds equating to 150. So a bit over 100K diamonds

That's a lotta cabbage!

I may have forgotten to account for the ones I already had in the earlier calculation . The number is probably 130K

Holy moly

Any required resources that you already have would be automatically consumed and are taken into account in the diamond calculation. So the actual number of required diamonds will vary for everyone. That's probably an underestimate. (My Drum Maker research, in the next column, is currently >9000 diamonds)

Save your diamonds. You will need them to buy back the culture points that Inno has stolen with their AW 'improvements'.

This is quite a slap! They could have waited a few weeks before offering culture for sale.
