New page

The increase to [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] production from [[Upgrades#Gene Strand Upgrades|Gene Strand upgrades]] isn't always as big as the bonus from unspent [[Gene Strands]].

The usefulness of Gene Strand upgrades usually differs depending on your playstyle and current progress in the game. For example, most upgrades to [[Colonies|colony]] production are worth the Gene Strand investment only if most of Bacteria production comes from these colonies. Similarly, [[BPC]] and [[Tapping Combo|tapping combo]] upgrades are worth it only for an active tapping playstyle.

One of the exceptions to this rule are the Gene Strand upgrades that increase [[BPS#Idle_BPS|idle BPS bonus]]. These upgrades almost always increase your total [[BPS]] significantly.

This is because idle BPS also provides bonus to production when the game is closed and it will be active most of the time. Furthermore, idle BPS multiplies the bonus from the unspent Gene Strands, which means that the upgrade can be worth the cost even if the price of the upgrade is very high.

<h4>Example: A.I. controlled production vs. Gene Strand bonus</h4>
A.I controlled production is an upgrade that costs {{gs}}2500 and increases the player's [[BPS#Idle BPS|idle BPS]] bonus by 100%.

Let's say your BPS without any bonuses is <code>'''100'''</code>.

If you have
{{gs}}<code>'''100'''</code>
(coefficient is
<code>'''2.0'''</code>),
your total BPS without the upgrade would be
<code>100 * 2 * 1 = '''200'''</code>.

If you purchased the upgrade it would be
<code>100 * 1 * 1.75 = '''175'''</code>.

As you can see, the BPS is now smaller

If instead, you have {{gs}}<code>'''1000'''</code>
(coefficient is <code>'''11.0'''</code>), your total BPS without the upgrade would be
<code>100 * 11 * 1 = '''1100'''</code>.

If you purchased the upgrade it would be
<code>100 * 10 * 1.75 = '''1750'''</code>.

In this case, the total BPS has increased.
