<div class="page_icon_small">[[File:Research icon.png|100px]]</div>Research is a way of generating [[Resources|'''resources''']], earning and upgrading [[Evolved Bacteria|'''evolved bacteriaEvolved Bacteria''']], and improving bacteria Bacteria production.
Most research types require some amount of time to be completed and use [[Resources#Scientists|'''scientistsScientists''']], which are returned to the player after completion. New research types can be unlocked by destroying [[Planets|'''planets''']].
=Bacteria Evolution=Bacteria evolution is the first New research center available in the gametypes can be unlocked by destroying [[Planets|'''planets''']]. <br><br>
Each bacteria evolution research type has a chance to discover one Level 1 [[Evolved Bacteria|'''evolved bacteria''']]. In case of unsuccessful evolution, the player will earn regular [[Resources#Bacteria|bacteria]].=Basics=
Only one type of bacteria evolution can be researched at a time==Research Time==[[File:Research ad.png|thumb|200px|right|The option to cancel the research appears if you press and hold on an active research action]]<div class="page_icon_small">[[File:Time.png|100px]]</div>
