The core mechanics are '''[[BPS]]''' (Bacteria per second) and '''[[BPC]]''' (Bacteria per click). They can be modified by different effects, such as idle bonus for BPS or tapping bonus for BPC.

'''[[Upgrades]]''' increase Bacteria production or provide other bonuses, such as reduced [[Red Bacteria]] spawn time or increased effect of [[Resources#Gene Strands|Gene Strands]].

Bacteria upgrades are lost after attacking a planet, but gene strand upgrades remain until a player enters a Black Hole. Dark Matter Institute technologies and premium upgrades are permanent. Each upgrade type requires a different [[Resources|'''resource''']] - either Bacteria, Gene Strands, Dark Matter, or Diamonds.

'''[[Research]]''' is a way of generating resources, earning and mutating Evolved Bacteria, and improving bacteria production.
