BPS stands for '''bacteria per second'''.
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=
[[File:Idle bonus.png|thumb|200px|The yellow bacteria indicate that the {{idle BPS bonus is active]]Some BPS modifiers provide a boost to idle Bacteria production. 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 <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span>. Pressing on any of the menu buttons or the '''[[Red Bacteria]]''' does not break the idle BPS bonus. Idle BPS bonus can be obtained and increased from [[Upgrades#Gene Strand Upgrades|Gene Strand upgrades]] and [[Evolved Bacteria]].description}}
It can also be boosted with the '''Dark FrequenciesMain page:''' technology in the [[Dark Matter InstituteIdle BPS]]. However, Dark Frequencies only doubles the current idle BPS, so a player with 0% idle BPS bonus doesn't benefit from this technology.
=BPS modifiers=
Local modifiers increase the production only for some colony types.
