Multibot Vegetable
Boris of Quirm:
Just to clarify, the plants may grow bigger or smaller than those shown. That particular plant was used as an example only, in order to illustrate the problems.
Again, this was tested in 2.37.6 with no other bots present, so the plant could grow uninterrupted.

I've had them grow very large in 2.4.A ...
18, 20 or more 'elements' before I paused the sim to stretch them out and investigate ...
but ...
so far it seems any one plant is made up entirely of the same element ...
iow ... all 1 or 3 ... stems or flowers ... don't believe I've ever found a leaf, #2.
I was expecting only stems to sprout leafs and only leafs to sprout flowers ...
but find them homogeneous within each 'agla organisim'.
now I don't know if they started as #1, sprouting 2, and then 3's ...
and somehow all changed as one number as the sim went on or not.
wasn't expecting it so wasn't watching. ;)
and yes ... I find double ties as well in 2.4.A.
will go play with it in 2.37.6 as well.
btw Boris ...
that settings I uploaded was done in 2.4.A
Boris of Quirm:
Sorry wrong settings file. Will try and find the right one.
As the chance of being any given type on the plant is random it could just be that you have been unlucky in not finding a leaf.
Only a cell that is a stem can produce a child. This child can then be a stem, leaf or flower. If you like, leaves and flowers can be thought of as terminators, in that the plant can't grow any bigger from this cell.
Hope that makes sense. It's difficult trying to explain how something should look without pictures. If you look back a couple of posts of mine at the one that contains the diagrams, I have now added one at the bottom that hopefully shows what I am trying to explain.

I been using C_Circumgirans with it ...
as it is a much more aggressive bot and attacks more often
and is much harder for the alga to 'surround' and capture ...
but it does happen.
I ran your settings with both the T_Perservarians and C_Circumgirans ...
limiting the veg population to 500 ...
and in the end the C_Circumgirans died out ...
while the Perservians were still going strong.
of course that could have just been an unfortunate mutation for the C_C.
will try other bots with Reactum ...
and try as I might ... I still read that as Rectum almost every time ...
cracks me up, so to speak. ;)
hey ... what do you want from an old sailor?
Boris of Quirm:
I know what you mean about the name.
On more than one occassion I have had to check my spelling before I submit the post.
Reminds me of when the Queen had a bad year some time ago. She referred to it as her 'Anus Horriblis'.
Still makes me laugh now.
