birthtie counted with numties?

<< < (2/2)

EricL:

--- Quote from: PurpleYouko ---A bot should never count as a multi-bot with a birth tie.
.multi is only set to a value of one on the cycle in which a tie hardens.
That is unless the code has been messed up in 2.4

The code has been messed up then.  I was not aware of this nuance.  I'll fix in in 2.42.4.

Endy:
It's always been that way... If a bot is already sharing, it can start sharing with offspring. Kind of oddball, doesn't happen too much so you don't really notice it until babies start being eaten their parent.

Probably needs fixing. We could also just decrease the amount of time the birthtie lasts below the limit for hardening. Not 100% sure, but that should fix the problem. Maybe also add in a couple of different readbacks, one for hardties and a seperate one for soft ties.

PurpleYouko:
Yes I have seen birth ties turn yellow indicating sharing. However I regularly use the *.multi sysvar to detect a hardened tie and have never come across an instance where it shows a true value too soon.

Then again to be fair, since Hunter 2.3 figured out an easy way to delete a birth tie, I pretty much always use some sort of birth tie removal gene in every bot so perhaps this bug has always been there.

Either way it needs to be squished good.

EricL:
I broke multi in 2.42.3.  I do penenace.  I will fix it in 2.42.4.
