Bacteria Introduction

Bacteria colonies turn laser power into a steady supply of items or into a beam of their own.

Every colony belongs to a strain, has a size, and carries four stats that decide how fast it grows, how well it produces and how long it keeps working. You carry colonies around in Petri Dishes and move them between the biology machines.

The Loop

• Graft a first colony into an empty Petri Dish with a Grafting Tool.
• Analyze the dish to see its size and stats.
• Mutate it into the strain you want. The strains you graft from stone, sand, podzol and netherrack only exist to be mutated.
• Incubate it to grow it and to restore its Vitality.
• Put it to work in the Bio Reactor for items, with its nutrient in the reactor so it does not age, or burn it in the Bacterial Fuel Cell for a beam.

Bacteria Stats explains what each number does. Bacteria Progression is the step by step route from a first colony to a full reactor, with the power each stage needs, and Strain Tree shows which mutations lead where.
