Research

Research is a way of generating resources, earning and upgrading evolved bacteria, and improving bacteria production.

Most research types require some amount of time to be completed and use scientists, which are returned to the player after completion. New research types can be unlocked by destroying planets.

Bacteria Evolution

Bacteria evolution is the first research center available in the game.

Each bacteria evolution research type has a chance to discover one Level 1 evolved bacteria. In case of unsuccessful evolution, the player will earn regular bacteria.

Only one type of bacteria evolution can be researched at a time.

Colony Irradiation

Colony irradiation is unlocked after destroying 3 planets.

Successful irradiation doubles the production of a random colony. Unsuccessful irradiation yields some bacteria. One colony can be irradiated multiple times.

The irradiation effect is lost when entering a Black Hole and the colonies have to be irradiated again.

Only one irradiation type can be researched at a time.

Bacteria Mutations

The ability to mutate evolved bacteria is unlocked after destroying 4 planets.

Mutation is always successful.

Nanobot Production

Nanobot production is unlocked after destroying 5 planets.

Bacteria Irradiation

Bacteria irradiation is unlocked when the player has destroyed five planets after the first Black Hole.
