Gene Strands (GS) are resources that boost your bacteria production per second (BPS).

GS are not lost after attacking a planet, but entering a Black Hole will transform all GS into Dark Matter.

New GS can be obtained by killing a percentage of a planet's population. GS can reach large numbers in early game, which are displayed using abbreviations or scientific notification, if it has been enabled in the settings menu.




Gene Strand Bonus

Unspent Gene Strands provide a 1% increase to global BPS.

This can be increased to 2% by researching Schroedinger's Gene at the Dark Matter Institute.


Drop Amount

Gene Strands are earned from planet attacks. The base amount is calculated according to formula

where

  • GeneStrands - how many GS will be obtained in the planet attack
  • Total Population Killed - the total number of killed inhabitants since the first planet (including the current attack)
  • Population Killed - the number of inhabitants killed in the current attack
  • Initial Population - the initial number of inhabitants on the current planet

The amount of GS earned can also be increased by bonuses from equipped Evolved Bacteria.

Dark Matter Conversion

Upon entering a Black Hole, all unspent Gene Strands are converted into Dark Matter.
