2.42.9 Changes
Testlund:
Ok, I guess maybe it's just me having a problem comprehend this stuff. I probably need to keep running it and monitoring the dynamic costs graph to understand it better. I'm looking forward to your new costX function then.
EricL:
Bump. 2.42.8c buddy drop released.

What do you mean by "compences"?

Sorry, phat phingers. I meant "commenses". An example is warrented.
If I have an age cost of 1 and chose to delay it for the first 1000 cycles of a bot's life and check the log increase option, prior to 2.42.8c, on it's 1000th cycle of life, the bot would be charged 1 + log (1000) or 4 nrg. That is, the age cost per cycle went from 0 to 4 in one cycle. Boom! And from there on the increase is very gradual.
Begining with 2.42.8c, it will be charged 1 + log(1000-1000) or exactly 1 but the ramp up following will be steeper. On the 1010th cycle, it will be charged 2. On the 1100th cycle 3, on the 2000th cycle 4, and so on.
Beginning the logrthmic growth at the age at which the age cost commenses simply seems more intuitive to me.
Numsgil:
Ah, that makes sense
You might want to add some pop up help windows for the log age cost, since it confuses alot of people. Sort of like I did on the advanced physics panel with the "Help with units" etc.
