=ModifiersBasics=Most research actions are influenced by the [[Reduced Research Time|reduced research time]] modifier, which is obtained from various [[Dark Matter Institute]] technologies and equipped [[Evolved Bacteria]].
Other bonuses ==Research Time==[[File:Research ad.png|thumb|200px|right|The option to cancel the research appears if you press and modifiers are usually specific to a particular hold on an active research type, such as action]]<div class="page_icon_small">[[Sleeper AgentsFile:Time.png|100px]], which increase </div> {{research time}} {{main page|title = Research Time}} ==Cancelling Research==The option to cancel the research appears if you press and hold on an active research action. Cancelling a research action will cause all the progress go to waste and return the max limit of [[Planetary Research|planetary researchScientists]] discoveriesto the player.
=Research Types=
There are seven research types, all of which are unlocked by [[Xutrutis|Planet 9]], the only exception being [[Research#Bacteria Irradiation|Bacteria Irradiation]].
With the exception of [[Research#Bacteria Irradiation|Bacteria Irradiation]], all of them are unlocked by [[Xutrutis|Planet 9]].
Bacteria Irradiation is unlocked only after 5 planets past the first [[Black Hole]].
==Bacteria Evolution==
Bacteria Evolution is the first research center available in the game. {{bacteria evolution}}
Each Bacteria Evolution research type has a chance to discover one Level 1 [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']]. In case of unsuccessful {{bacteria evolution, the player will earn regular [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]]. In the case of unsuccessful evolution, the amount of regular Bacteria earned equals current [[BPS]] multiplied by the research duration in seconds and a random number in the range from 0.05 to 0.2.table}}
Only one type of '''Main page:''' [[Bacteria Evolution can be researched at a time. <div class="mw-collapsible" style="overflow:auto;">{{bacteria evolution table}}</div>]]
==Colony Irradiation==
==Bacteria Mutations==
The ability to mutate [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[planets]]. Mutation requires two Bacteria of equal level and always gives one Bacteria of a higher level as a reward. The rarity of the mutated Bacteria is the same as the rarity of the used Bacteria. If they are of different rarities, the mutated Bacteria will have a random rarity in the same range, so it is not possible to obtain a higher rarity Bacteria through {{mutation. Mutation is instantaneous and it requires no Scientists. However, after it is complete, the player has to clean the lab before it can be again used for mutations. Cleaning takes 2 hours and requires 2 [[File:Scientist.png|20px|link=http://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index.php?title=Resources#Scientists]] The default mutation cap is Level 3, which can be raised to Level 4 with '''[[the Ultimate Life Form]]''' tech at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]'''. [[File:Mutation example.png|left]]===Mutation Results=== ::::::::::::When calculating the mutation results, the [[Evolved_Bacteria#Effect|'''effects''']] of Bacteria A and Bacteria B play an important role. Mutating Bacteria with similar effects gives a better chance to obtain a good result. Mutation results are calculated by taking the average values of Bacteria A and Bacteria B, so Bacteria with better effects usually give better results. Even though higher level Bacteria generally have better effect, it is possible to mutate a Bacteria with weaker bonuses, especially if A and B are of different '''rarities'''. In most cases, Bacteria C will have the effects as either Bacteria A or Bacteria B. The exception is when C has more stats than A and B individually. The name of C is random and does not depend on Bacteria A and B.description}}
