[[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.
Keep in mind, this page is just a summary. Each of the resources has its own specific page with more detailed information.

=Bacteria=
<div class="page_icon">[[File:Bacteria.png|left|150px120px]]Bacteria are the main resource in the game. It is used for purchasing and upgrading colonies and attacking planets.</div>
=Gene Strands=
<div class="page_icon">[[File:Gene strand.png|left|150px130px]]Gene strands are used for purchasing [[Upgrades|upgrades]] that provide various bonuses. Gene strands and gene strand upgrades are not lost after attacking a planet.</div>
A player can only equip up to 3 evolved bacteria Evolved Bacteria at one time, but there are is no limitations as limit to how many evolved bacteria Evolved Bacteria can be owned.
The evolved bacteria that Evolved Bacteria which are equipped provide powerful bonuses to production, such as increased critical strike chance BPC and multiplier, reduced research time, and other positive effects.
=Scientists=
{{Main page|title = Scientists are required to produce resources, evolve bacteria, irradiate evolved bacteria and bacteria colonies, and to clean the lab after bacteria mutation.After researching the Quantum Leap technology at the Dark Matter Institute, each idle scientist also doubles the player's [[BPS]].|text align = left}}
=Diamonds=
<div class="page_icon">[[File:Diamonds.png|left|150px120px]]</div>
Diamonds are a premium resource that can be used to purchase:
Diamonds can be obtained:
*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 diamondsDiamonds) Unlike most resources, Diamonds are not lost when attacking a planet or entering a [[Black Hole]]. {{Main page|title = Diamonds|text align = left}}
=Nanobots=
<div class="page_icon">[[File:Nanobot.png|left|150px120px]]</div>
The primary use of nanobots Nanobots is to kill the last percentage of a planet's population, which is usually harder to infect by using only bacteria[[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]]. To launch an attack on a planet with nanobots, Nanobots are really useful because they kill the remaining population which the player must also have at least 1 bacteriaBacteria can't kill so easily. Just like bacteriaWhen using Nanobots, the game only uses the minimum number of nanobots that are lost when attacking a required to kill off the remaining population. Similarly to [[Planets|planetGene Strands]] or and Bacteria, all Nanobots are lost when entering a '''[[Black Hole]]'''.
[[Research#Nanobot Production|'''Nanobot Production''']] is unlocked after destroying the fifth planet. Nanobots can be produced by scientists[[Resources#Scientists|Scientists]].
After researching '''[[Quantum Robotics]]''' at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]''', the player has a 0.1% chance to produce a nanobot on 1 Nanobot with every tap. The Dark Matter Institute also has the '''Dark Engineering''' technologysome other upgrades, which increases nanobot can increase [[Nanobot strength ]] by 25%.
=Dark Matter=
