:::::::The main goal in Bacterial Takeover is to destroy as many planets as possible.

:::::::Attacking a planet uses up all [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] and [[Resources#Nanobots|Nanobots]], and resets [[Colonies|colonies]] and [[Upgrades|bacteria upgrades]]. Destroying planets unlocks new upgrades and features, such as [[Research#Colony Irradiation|Colony irradiation]] or [[Research#Nanobot Production|Nanobot production]].
