Simplest Evo Starter Bot
PurpleYouko:
Exactly how high do you have mutations set?
Numsgil:
That definately looks like the program has gone crazy. You seem to have huge stretches of replicated DNA. There's nothing in the program that should do that except when bots reproduce (Amplification mutation would do that maybe, but that looks incredibly more replicated than I think Amplification could do).
Testlund:
Yeah, I thought something weird was going on here. The point mutations was set to 5000000 and the Zerobot above started out with only 15 zeros in the DNA, and after 2465636 cycles the DNA has developed to the values you see above. It looks like too much for this mutation rate. SHIT! I thought I had something interesting here, but if the program is breaking the rules the sim is useless!
Numsgil:
Well, until we know exactly what happened we can't really say the results are invalid. Do you happen to have any autsoaves of the sim? If you run it again, turn autosaves on and set them every so often.
Sprotiel:
As the mutation routines assumed DNA is divided into genes, while genes don't really exist anymore in 2.4, it is possible that it's working as designed. Mutation details would be very useful to understand what's going on.
