Bacteria Evolution

Bacteria Evolution is the first research available in the game. There are seven types of Bacteria Evolution, which are unlocked as you destroy more planets.

Each Bacteria Evolution research type has a chance to discover one Level 1 Evolved Bacteria. The droprates of different rarity Bacteria depend on the selected research type.

Only one type of Bacteria Evolution can be researched at a time.

Evolution Types

There are seven Bacteria Evolution types and each of them has a different chance of yielding a high rarity Evolved Bacteria. The droprates of high rarity Bacteria can be increased if you have obtained the Genome Corruption technology from the Dark Matter Institute.

Evolution Types (before 1.8.0)

Before version 1.8.0, most of research options did not guarantee an Evolved Bacteria drop. In case of a successful research, all types had the same chance of dropping a high rarity Evolved Bacteria.

Version History

Version Changes
1.8.0 Balance:

• All research types are guaranteed to yield an Evolved Bacteria
• Different research types now have different rarity droprates
• Changed research duration

Other:
• Changed icons for Natural Selection and Genetic Load
• New research types are unlocked by destroying planets (as opposed to being available from the start)
