Repopulation occurrs when veggies fall below the threshold. Fresh veggies are seeded into the sim.
Reproductiuon occurrs when a single bot creates another single bot.
Sorry if that wasn't clear, they do both start with "Rep"
understood.
but then let's explore the differences for those
folks who didn't program it and who aren't privy
to what your intentions were when you wrote it.
you know ... the lowly everyday users ...
who are trying to learn how things work.
that is what is being asked about here.
so again ...
when do these occur?
below 'max veggies' but above 'threshold' ...
it is reproduction, yes?
any bot able to reproduce is then allowed to do so on
the next cycle, and the offspring will appear somewhere
near the parent.
and below threshold ...
it is repopulation only, yes?
and then the '# per repop event' comes into play ..
and these can come in anywhere in the field ...
or, ideally, in the area defined in that original
population window when selecting species.
[btw, this doesn't seem to work in 2.37.6]
what the 'cooling off period' is about I don't know ...
so, maybe we can get this all clear ...
and let folks in on the thinking/intention behind it.
or not. ;)
