How many games have you simulated? Because I got my first gems I got after like 1300 simulated games.

Sometimes the computer simulates games without needing to tell it to do, so this is how you got this achievement.

It takes a local ‘system’ change to trigger the pay out. Completing a level constitutes such a change. Try some of these: [A fun blast from the past!](https://discourse.codecombat.com/t/a-fun-blast-from-the-past/21408) to see if you can get it to pay…don’t use them all up frivolously 😉

Keep in mind, the formula is 20 x ^ .4, where x = the number of sims completed. I got to 1.65M and received over 6000 gems. I had 3 farms running 24x7 and it took me about a week or so.

Also, if you have limited bandwidth or are on a data plan, be very careful of data usage…if you are running multiple farms, the data usage racks up pretty quickly. (Remember, a gem farm is 9 sessions running in tandem.)

I believe I joined Codecombat in the end of 2015. I don’t remember when I started to simulate games, maybe it was about beginning of 2019 or even earlier. And it takes CoCo about, uhm, quite a long time to give reward) (Possibly because I researched possibility to cheat with submitting replayable levels more than one time per 24 H idk). I never count on this reward and played as if it doesn’t exist. A couple of times I tried to push volume button but it didn’t make any changes. But after completing couple of levels from map @dedreous mentioned I got gems) So this is good advice to complete level or two.
