I've spent the last few months buying things on Ali Express for as cheap as I possibly can. Most of the things I've bought are electronics hobby stuff. I haven't done anything with electronics yet, but it seems like it would be fun to get into. I am running out of things to buy though. Here is a list of what I've purchased. Aside from an adjustable power supply (I am already running a bot every night trying to get a $50 coupon so I can buy it for free), and a fume extractor(I plan on building one from a computer fan and some parts below). What else should I look into getting to start the hobby?

1x arduino uno

1x electronics introductory kit

1x jumper wire kit

1x temperature/RH module

2x solder wire

I don't know what kind of hell Ali Express thinks I deserve, but the last 4 days in a row have required me to do 15 games of Rush Hour to check in for the World Tour. If I wanted to spin the wheel to get 50 more gems it would require another 15-20 games of rush hour. This all started on day 24 of 30 of my tour. Anyone else experiencing something similar? There is no more watching ads or searching for things to complete a step. There is only Rush Hour.

I don't know a better way to talk about the two items that a generator produces than primary and secondary. Primary would be the item produced from a lvl4 generator, and secondary would be the new item produced when a generator reaches level 5.

I have been playing for about a month or so now and I don't believe I have seen a lvl 10 secondary item in the 4x bonus orders yet. Can this happen? I have been using secondary items to force the goods exchange, and every time I get to the next generator it seems I have high level secondary items left over. Am I wasting my time and energy building up lvl 10 secondary items in preparation for bonus orders?
