Bacteria Evolution

Bacteria Evolution is the first research available in the game. There are seven types of Bacteria Evolution, which are unlocked as you destroy more planets.

Each Bacteria Evolution research type has a chance to discover one Level 1 Evolved Bacteria. The droprates of different rarity Bacteria depend on the selected research type.

Only one type of Bacteria Evolution can be researched at a time.

With Genome Corruption

If you have Genome Corruption, droprates for higher rarity Bacteria are improved significantly.

Research Types (before 1.8.0)

Before version 1.8.0, most of research options did not guarantee an Evolved Bacteria drop. In case of a successful research, all types had the same chance of dropping a high rarity Evolved Bacteria.

Droprates

Rarity	Drop Chance
	without Genome Corruption	with Genome Corruption
Common	60.32%	31.55%
Rare	27.85%	43.69%
Epic	9.28%	19.42%
Legendary	2.32%	4.85%
Mythical	0.23%	0.49%
