→Population
=Population=
Each planet has a larger population than the previous one. The higher the population, the more '''[[Gene Strands]]''' can be earned from completely destroying the planet. For example, destroying [[Mars]] earns the player 11 Gene Strands, but a more populated planet like Mercury gives 85 Gene Strands.
Even though planet population is not technically a form of defense, planets with higher population are harder to destroy, because they require additional bacteria.
