→Planet Population
=Planet Population=
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 [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] to infect.
