After having the player has destroyed a certain number of '''[[Planets|planets]]''', it becomes possible to enter a Black Hole.
Doing so resets most of the upgrades and resources, but earns the player '''[[Resources#Dark Matter|Dark Matter]]''' and can unlock additional features, such as the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]''', where new technologies can be researched.
=Black Hole Formation=
It takes 25 planets for a Black Hole to finish forming the first time. This number is increased by 2 planets for each Black Hole the player has entered previously.
It becomes possible to enter a Black Hole when its formation has reached 100%. This percentage cannot be exceeded and will remain the same even if the player keeps destroying new planets without entering the Black Hole. =Black Hole Reset=Entering a Black Hole '''resets''':*Gene Strand and colony upgrades*Destroyed planets*[[Planetary_Research#Planetary_Discoveries|Planetary Discoveries]] Black Hole '''does not''' reset:*Achievements*Premium upgrades*Colony irradiation levels*[[Dark Matter Institute]] technologies Resources that '''will be lost''':*Bacteria *Nanobots*Gene Strands*Bacteria colonies*Most of the Evolved and Mutated Bacteria Resources that '''won't be lost''':*Diamonds*Dark Matter*Scientists*[[Minerals]] Evolved Bacteria have a default 10% [[Evolved Bacteria#Black Hole Survival Probability|chance to survive a Black Hole]]. This can be increased through [[Research#Bacteria Irradiation|Bacteria Irradiation]]. Before entering a Black Hole, the player will also be prompted to secure up to two Evolved Bacteria that will definitely survive. =Drops=Entering a Black Hole will grant [[Resources#Dark Matter|'''Dark Matter''']], which can be spent in the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]'''. The amount of Dark Matter depends on how many [[Gene Strands|'''Gene Strands''']] a player has. ::{{dark matter formula}} It makes no difference whether the particular Gene Strand has been obtained from the [[Evolved Bacteria]] effect or it is obtained as a base drop from killed [[Planets|planet]] population. However, Gene Strands that have been spent on [[Upgrades|upgrades]] do not count towards how much Dark Matter is earned. A player who has reached planet 25 can receive approximately 390 units of Dark Matter. If the player has used [[Evolved Bacteria]] that grants more Gene Strands, this number can potentially be bigger. When entering the Black Hole for the first time, Dark Matter drops are limited to 800 units. =New Features=Entering a Black Hole unlocks: * [[Dark Matter Institute]]* [[Research#Bacteria Irradiation|Bacteria Irradiation]] (unlocked when the 5th planet after the first Black Hole has been destroyed)* A new [[Mineral Fusion|Mineral Fusion recipe]] (each Black Hole unlocks at least one new recipe until all of them have been unlocked) Entering a Black Hole also changes parts of planet descriptions.[[Category:Game Mechanics]]
