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 bacteria. Nanobots To launch an attack on a planet with nanobots, the player must also have at least 1 bacteria. Just like bacteria, 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 scientists.

After researching '''Quantum Robotics''' at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]''', the player has a 0.1% chance to produce a nanobot. Dark Matter Institute also has the '''Dark Engineering''' technology, which increases nanobot strength 25%.

After '''[[Atreria''']], all planets have [[Planets#Nanobot Resistance|'''nanobot resistance''']], which reduces their effectivenessnanobot strength.
