Changes

BPS adds to the total number of owned bacteria [[Resources#Bacteria|'''Bacteria''']] even when not tapping or when the app is closed. The player starts with 0 BPS and increases it by purchasing different bacteria [[Colonies|'''bacteria colonies''']].

In later game, percentage increases or [[BPS#BPS modifiers|'''BPS modifiers''']] become available. BPS modifiers can be local to one colony type or affect the global BPS. Since attacking a planet means losing the current Bacteria colonies, permanent BPS modifiers are a way of quickly recovering the Bacteria production rate. BPS can quickly reach [[Large Numbers|'''large numbers''']], which are displayed using [[Large Numbers#Abbreviations|abbreviations]] or [[Large Numbers#Scientific Notation|scientific notification]], if it has been enabled in the settings menu.

Idle BPS bonus becomes active if the player hasn't tapped on the main screen for over a minute. It is indicated by the bacteria changing color to yellow. Pressing on any of the menu buttons or the red bacteria does not break the idle BPS bonus. ''Main page:''' [[Idle BPS bonus can be obtained from gene strand upgrades, evolved bacteria, and the Dark Frequencies technology in the Dark Matter Institute.]]
