Bacteria Upgrades

Bacteria upgrades give various multipliers to global BPS, BPC, as well as increase the production of different colonies.

The player unlocks new bacteria upgrades by purchasing more colonies. After purchase, bacteria upgrades cannot be sold or disabled.

All bacteria upgrades are lost when attacking a planet or entering a Black Hole.

Gene strand upgrades enable and increase the idle BPS bonus, tapping combo bonus, as well as provide various multipliers to total BPC and increase the production of different colonies.

New gene strand upgrades are unlocked by destroying planets. Previously purchased upgrades can be sold for 2/3 of their original price, rounded down.
