→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 10 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.
It's possible to view the population of previous planets since the last [[Black Hole]] in the Destroyed Planets panel.
