Attacking a planet uses up all [[Resources#Bacteria|bacteria]], [[Colonies]], and [[Resources#Nanobots|nanobots]] and resets bacteria [[Upgrades|upgrades]]. Destroying planets unlocks new upgrades and features, such as [[Research#Colony Irradiation|colony irradiation]] or [[Research#Nanobot Production|nanobot production]].
A planet counts as destroyed if its remaining population has been reduced to 0. There Killing a percentage of a planet's population earns gene strands and there is no limit to how many times the player can attack one planet to destroy it.
However, it's not possible to attack a planet if the player cannot gain even one gene strand or if he has less than 1 bacteria.
