ElectroFix Tycoon Gems and Goals Guide: What to Spend Gems On
How to earn gems in ElectroFix Tycoon, what skipping a build really costs, which goals pay what, and the best things to spend gems on.
You start ElectroFix Tycoon with 5 gems and they stay scarce, so it matters where they go. Numbers are from version 1.0.1 and can change with balance updates.
How to earn gems
The login streak. Seven calendar days, then it restarts. It pays 21 gems per cycle: 2 on day 2, 3 on day 4, 1 on day 5, 5 on day 6 and 10 on day 7. Missing a day resets you to day 1, so the last two days are worth protecting.
Daily challenges. You get three a day from a pool of ten. Each pays cash plus 1 or 2 gems.
| Challenge | Cash | Gems |
|---|---|---|
| Finish a shop day with no walkouts | $200 | 2 |
| Deliver 3 city orders | $200 | 2 |
| Serve 3 drive-through cars | $200 | 2 |
| Finish 3 express jobs on time | $180 | 2 |
| Repair 3 premium devices | $180 | 2 |
| Catch a thief yourself | $150 | 2 |
| Collect a set amount of cash | $150 | 1 |
| Complete a set number of repairs | $120 | 1 |
| Serve 4 drinks | $100 | 1 |
| Bin 6 pieces of litter yourself | $80 | 1 |
The repair and cash targets grow with your player level.
Goals
Goals pay cash and experience, not gems, but they are the fastest source of early money. The first five are fixed:
| Goal | Reward |
|---|---|
| Complete 3 repairs | $50 |
| Buy the Repair Tools upgrade | $80 |
| Complete 10 repairs in total | $120 |
| Hire your first member of staff | $150 |
| Buy your first shop expansion | $200 |
That is $600 for things you would do anyway. After these, goals are generated without end in six kinds: total repairs, player level, staff count, total cash collected, bench upgrade levels and reputation. The targets grow each time round.
What skipping a build costs
The gem price of finishing a build instantly grows with the square root of the time left, which makes long waits far better value than short ones.
| Time left | Gems to skip | Seconds saved per gem |
|---|---|---|
| 1 minute | 4 | 15 |
| 10 minutes | 13 | 46 |
| 1 hour | 30 | 120 |
| 6 hours | 74 | 292 |
| 1 day | 147 | 588 |
Skipping a one-minute build is forty times worse value than skipping a one-day build.
The best uses for gems
- Builder’s Hammer (8 gems). It finishes your longest-running construction instantly, whatever its length. Skipping a one-day build directly costs 147 gems; the Hammer does it for 8. This is by far the best deal in the game for long builds.
- VIP Lounge (15 gems). VIP customers pay double.
- Turbo Repair (4 gems) during a busy day’s lunch rush.
- Thief Shield (3 gems) on a day you expect a lot of cash on the counter.
Training Centre upgrades also need gems from level 3 (5 per level), so keep a reserve once you start promoting staff.
