What are the criteria for re-combining?
After you launch half your mass, it seems that you can't immediately re-combine your separate masses into one bigger cell.
Is this based on some amount of time, or some other criteria? Exactly what do I have to do before I can re-combine back into one big mass?
Best Answer
The time to recombine is based on the size of the offshoots. When the cell is split, every individual cell has a timer storing how long until they are able to recombine. There may be a component that if you have cells much smaller than your largest cell the timers for the small cells are reduced.
Edit: So having looked through the source code at the link @BitCoder provided, I had it partially correct. The server has a base recombine time, currently 30 seconds. When a new cell is created (either via the player splitting, or running into a virus), the server sets the recombine time to be:
30 sec + (.02 * mass))
In summary: the recombine time of each cell is thirty seconds plus one additional second for every 50 mass the cell has when it is created.

How do you recombine on agar io?
Steering one into the other is how to merge them back, which is generally done by placing the cursor in between the two. There is a cool down on merging cells together, meaning that a certain amount of time must pass before two cells are able to merge after splitting.What are the controls for Agar io?
Once you've entered the game, the controls for Agar.io are simple:- Move the mouse to move your blob. Your cell will automatically move toward your mouse cursor.
- Press the Space Bar to split your cell or cells in two.
- Press W to eject mass.
How do you shoot in Agario?
To shoot off some of your cell's "mass", simply click the W on your keyboard. The mass will fire in the direction of which your pointer is on-screen.Combining Criteria
