BPS
,no edit summary
BPS stands for '''bacteria per second'''.
BPS adds to the total number of owned bacteria [[Resources#Bacteria|'''Bacteria''']] even when not tapping or when the app is closed. The player starts with 0 BPS and increases it by purchasing different [[Colonies|'''bacteria colonies''']].
In later game, percentage increases or [[BPS#BPS modifiers|'''BPS modifiers''']] become available. BPS modifiers can be local to one colony type or affect the global BPS. Since attacking a planet means losing the current bacteria colonies, permanent BPS modifiers are a way of quickly recovering the bacteria production rate.
Idle BPS bonus becomes active if the player hasn't tapped on the main screen for over a minute.
It is indicated by the bacteria Bacteria changing color to yellow. Pressing on any of the menu buttons or the [[Red Bacteria|red bacteria]] does not break the idle BPS bonus.
Idle BPS bonus can be obtained from Gene Strand upgrades, evolved bacteriaEvolved Bacteria, and the Dark Frequencies technology in the [[Dark Matter Institute]].

*Gene Strand upgrades
Colony upgrades are lost when attacking a planet, but the effect of colony irradiation and gene strand Gene Strand upgrades remains until the player enters a [[Black Hole]].
