So far all ive seen in the autotroph section is algae(feel free to correct me if im wrong). So I wanted to create a plant autotroph. It would involve using ties to feed a central cell which would be responsible for most of the reproduction till another cell was pushed out of the "plant" and started reproducing itself. If you guys have any advice itll be most helpfull.

PurpleYouko:
There have been a few multi-cellular plants designed but nothing with any real structure.

There has been talk of making plants with roots, trunks, branches and leaves but so far nobody has made one. It is certainly an area that could use some development.

Testlund:
Yeah, that sure whould be cool if you could develop plants that grows from the bottom and then make multicellular organisms that feed from the plants.  ...and predators.   If there whould be any advantage for a plant to grow in this environment it might evolve on it's own from single cellular algea maybe. ...if I keep running this evosim for a few years. *Sigh*    Not very likely.

Elite:
There's Plant v1.0 in the Beastiary

And the associated Bot Tavern post - There's quite a lot of ideas in there actually

Maybe once cell specialisation and metabolism are introduced we might se some plants with specialised parts, but for now all parts of an autotroph can photosynthesize

The idea of a multibot-veg is quite intreguing though ...

maheshjr2000:
Well that bot only consisted of three cells. This one will be a lot more cells with each cell passing energy to the central cell responsible for most of the repro considering the amount of energy it gets. I tried to do that with ties but the result was alga_parasite. So this time I was thinking shots or an intelligent system of ties.
