Yeah right, STACKS of diamonds, which i generate in about 10 seconds with my collector farm.

The "cost" part loses any point once you have enough connectors. And the only thing you need to get those collectors is a few initial diamonds and some time.

IC nano armor sure costs less. Except you need to build up an entire industry from ground up to make the armor, without being able to simply mass-produce some item and then transmuting it. You actually have to mine and process all the materials, not just throw them on the alchemy table. And you do it at all times, not just for the first game hour.
