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>

Only one irradiation type can be researched at a time==Cancelling Research==The option to cancel the research appears if you click on the button with three vertical dots next to the research timer.

=Nanobot ProductionResearch Types=There are seven research types, all of which are unlocked by [[Xutrutis|Planet 9]], the only exception being [[Research#Bacteria Irradiation|Bacteria Irradiation]].

Bacteria Irradiation is unlocked only after 5 planets past the first [[Black Hole]]. ==Bacteria Evolution=={{bacteria evolution}} ===Default Droprates==={{bacteria evolution table}} '''Main page:''' [[Bacteria Evolution]] ==Bacteria Engineering=={{Bacteria Engineering}} {{bacteria engineering options}} '''Main page:''' [[Bacteria Engineering]] ==Bacteria Mutations=={{mutation description}} '''See also:''' [[Evolved Bacteria]] '''Main page:''' [[Bacteria Mutations]] ==Colony Irradiation=={{colony irradiation}} {{colony irradiation table}}'''Main page:''' [[Colony Irradiation]] ==Nanobot Production==[[Resources#Nanobots|'''Nanobot''']] production is unlocked after destroying 5 [[Planets|planets]]. {{nanobot production description}}{{nanobot production table}} {{main page|title = Nanobots}} ==Planetary Research==<div class="page_icon" style="padding-top:20px">[[File:Gathering soil samples.png|100px]]</div> {{Planetary research description}} {{main page|title = Planetary Research}} ==Bacteria Recycling==<div class="page_icon" style="padding-top:20px">[[File: Bacteria recycling.png|100px]]</div> {{bacteria recycling description}} {{main page|title = Bacteria Recycling}} ==Bacteria Irradiation==<div class="page_icon_small">[[File:Irradiation_icon.png|100px]]</div> {{bacteria irradiation}}{{bacteria irradiation table}} {{main page|title = Bacteria Irradiation}}  =Version History={{version history table}} {{version history row|v = 1.30.0|changes = {{*}} It now costs {{bacteria}}500 to unlock [[Bacteria Evolution]] (previously {{bacteria}}10k)}} {{version history row|v = 1.19.0|changes = {{*}} Added [[Bacteria Engineering]] <br>{{*}} Some research types can now be sped up by tapping on the canisters in the research menu}}  {{version history row|v = 1.15.0|changes = {{*}} Unlocking a new research type now also costs [[Bacteria]]}}  {{version history row|v = 1.3.0|changes = {{*}} Added [[Bacteria Recycling]]}} |} =Related Pages=*[[Bacteria Evolution]]*[[Bacteria Irradiation]]*[[Bacteria Mutations]]*[[Bacteria Recycling]]*[[Colony Irradiation]]*[[Evolved Bacteria]]*[[Nanobots]]*[[Planetary Research]]*[[Reduced Research Time]]*[[Research Time]]*[[Resources]]*[[Scientists]] [[Category:Research]][[Category:Game Mechanics]]
