[[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 are a premium resource that can be used to purchase:
Diamonds can also be used to instantly complete research or reveal the results of Bacteria mutation. Most bonuses that provide incremental boosts, such as additional BPS, increase in price after each purchase.

*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)

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 Unlike in the case of Bacteria, attacking a planet with nanobots, Nanobots causes to use up only those Nanobots that were necessary to destroy the player must also have at least 1 bacteriaplanet. Just like bacteriaSimilarly to [[Gene Strands]] and Bacteria, nanobots 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 scientists[[Resources#Scientists|Scientists]].
After researching '''[[Quantum Robotics]]''' at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]''', the player has a 0.1% chance to produce a nanobot Nanobot on tap. Dark Matter Institute also has the '''Dark Engineering''' technologyvarious technologies, which increases nanobot increase [[Nanobot strength ]] by 25%.
After [[Atreria]], all planets have [[Planets#Nanobot Resistance|'''nanobot Nanobot resistance''']], which reduces nanobot Nanobot strength. Nanobot strength is not influenced by added [[Infectivity|infectivity bonus]].
