Are swaps "simultaneous" (same turn), or do the gems have to be sent first?

You agree on that.

It depends, AFAIK. Maybe he has no spare gems and you have no needed paths/research, for example - then you obviously gonna need to send him gems first.

There are 2 separate sends, so it works in one of several ways. The item can be sent first, the gems can be sent first, or they can be sent at the same time. The gems might need to be sent first, if the person doing the crafting is a bit short on gems.

Normally you swap gems and items at the same time. But that can be discussed. It is right that trades are never reneged or canceled. We cheat steal, backstab and destroy our enemies. But we do not scam.
