Thanks for the clarification regarding accessories purchased from a competition versus buying them with gems.

My reference to farming 3000 gems a day was back when the silo held 25 SR, and like 100 and 125 of the other materials. There was a way to work the lab until you were low on materials, then if you had a transformer ready for upgrade, you could act like you were going to start it, but with insufficient materials, you had the option to buy the materials for gems. So staying in this loop, there were players farming thousands of gems a day. There was a post somewhere in this forum where a player gave exactly the recipes to use in which order. So basically, you could farm the lab for 400 gems, then spend 150-200 to fill your silo back up (using the ability to buy missing materials as if you were going to upgrade a TF). The prices to buy materials was significantly less in gems than what you could then farm them for in the lab. In one case, a player spent 6 hours doing this over an over and scored 3000 gems in a day. The lab prizes were completely revamped, odds went way down for gems, and prices of materials were all changed. Like now if your silo is full of SR and you get an SR, it converts to 1500 coins, but if you are upgrading and short on SR, it costs 50 gems. Anyway, it was all changed and the silo capacity was cut by 90% to prevent the gem farming.

My typical play pattern now is just missions to get materials to use in the lab. My experience is similar to yours – about 75 a day. Although during this event, I am averaging more like 30 per day. Not sure if others are experiencing a meaningful drop in the odds for getting gems or not…
