[[Category:Resources]]
Resources in Bacterial Takeover include unique collectibles like '''[[Minerals]]''' or '''[[Evolved Bacteria]]''' and basic currency like [[Resources#Bacteria|'''Bacteria''']] and [[Resources#Gene Strands|'''Gene Strands''']].
Most resources are lost when attacking [[Planets|'''planets''']] or upon entering a '''[[Black Hole]]''', but some — for example '''[[Diamonds]]''' and [[Resources#Dark Matter|'''Dark Matter''']] — are never lost unless they are actually used to purchase or research something.

=Diamonds=

Diamonds are a premium resource that can be used to purchase:

*by completing [[Achievements|achievements]]
*by watching ads
*by completing other actions in game (e.g. destroying the 10th 10<sup>th</sup> planet for the first time will yield 100 Diamonds)
Unlike most resources, Diamonds are not lost when attacking a planet or entering a [[Black Hole]].
=Nanobots=
<div class="page_icon">[[File:Nanobot.png|left|150px120px]]</div>
The primary use of Nanobots is to kill the last percentage of a planet's population, which is usually harder to infect by using only [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]]. To launch an attack on Unlike in the case of Bacteria, attacking a planet with Nanobots, causes to use up only those Nanobots that were necessary to destroy the player must also have at least 1 Bacteriaplanet. Just like Similarly to [[Gene Strands]] and Bacteria, all Nanobots are lost when attacking a [[Planets|planet]] or entering a '''[[Black Hole]]'''.
[[Research#Nanobot Production|'''Nanobot Production''']] is unlocked after destroying the fifth planet. Nanobots can be produced by [[Resources#Scientists|Scientists]].
After researching '''[[Quantum Robotics]]''' at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]''', the player has a 0.1% chance to produce a Nanobot on tap. Dark Matter Institute also has the '''Dark Engineering''' technologyvarious technologies, which increases increase [[Nanobot strength ]] by 25%.
After [[Atreria]], all planets have [[Planets#Nanobot Resistance|'''Nanobot resistance''']], which reduces Nanobot strength. Nanobot strength is not influenced by added [[Infectivity|infectivity bonus]].
