The main goal in Bacterial Takeover is to destroy as many planets as possible.
Attacking a planet uses up all [[Resources#Bacteria|'''Bacteria''']] and [[Resources#Nanobots|'''Nanobots''']], and resets [[Colonies|'''colonies''']] and [[Upgrades|'''bacteria Bacteria upgrades''']]. Destroying planets unlocks new upgrades and features, such as [[Research#Colony Irradiation|Colony irradiation]] or [[Research#Nanobot Production|Nanobot production]].
The first 34 planets have unique descriptions and artwork, but the others are generated automatically. <br><br><div style="float:left; padding-right:30px; padding-bottom:20px ">__TOC__</div> =Planet Attacks=The player can attack every planet an unlimited number of times until it is finally destroyed. A planet counts as destroyed if its remaining population has been reduced to 0. However, it's not possible to attack a planet if the player cannot destroy enough population to gain even 1 [[Gene Strands|Gene Strand or if he has less than ]]. The amount of population that is destroyed during the attack is equal to the total of the population destroyed by [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] and [[Nanobots]]. ==Using Bacteria==The formula that determines the percentage of population that will be destroyed by [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] is based on the [[SIR Model|SIR model]] for the spread of infectious diseases. For this reason, it can sometimes take more Bacteria to kill the last 1 % of the population that it was required to destroy the first 99%. The total number of Bacteriarequired to destroy 100% of the initial population is calculated according to the following formula: '''BacteriaNeeded = Population × 9.9 × 15<sup>[[Planets#Shields|ShieldLevel]]</sup>''' ==Using Nanobots=={{nanobot formula description}} ==Rewards==Killing a percentage of a planet's population earns [[Gene Strands]]. If the player has already unlocked [[Minerals]], completely destroying a planet also has a chance to drop a [[Minerals|Mineral]] native to the current planet. Destroying planets also unlocks new game mechanics and [[Upgrades|upgrades]]. ==Reset==Both attacking and destroying planets resets certain [[Resources|resources]], [[Upgrades|upgrades]], and bonuses.
=Planet Population=<div class="page_icon">[[File:population.png|80px]]</div>Each planet has a larger population than the previous one. Population can reach [[Large Numbers|'''large numbers''']] in early game, which are displayed using [[Large Numbers#Abbreviations|abbreviations]] or [[Large Numbers#Scientific Notation|scientific notification]], if it has been enabled in the settings menu. The higher the population, the more '''[[Gene Strands]]''' can be earned from completely destroying the planet. Even though planet population is not technically a form of defense, planets with higher population are harder to destroy, because they require additional bacteria[[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] to infect.
It's possible to view the population of previous planets since the last [[Black Hole]] in the '''Destroyed Planets''' panel.
===Nanobot Resistance===
Nanobot resistance reduces the effectiveness of [[Resources#Nanobots|Nanobots]]. There are 4 tiers of Nanobot resistance.

Nanobot resistance coefficient is determined by Nanobot resistance and it is used to calculate the effectiveness of Nanobots when [[Planets#Planets#Using_Nanobots|1-7attacking the planet]].|none<br><br>|----

===Shields===
::::::::Starting with '''[[Tesmielara]],''' all planets have shields, which makes them harder to destroy.
::::::::The shield level increases by 1 for each planet. So the next planet after Tesmielara will have Level 2 shields and so on.
::::::::So Shields multiply the amount of [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] needed to destroy the next planet after Tesmielara will have Level 2 shields and so onby <code>15<sup>x</sup></code>, where <code>x</code> is the shield level.
