Enyawnej:
I have querried this before. No matter what I do I always eventually end up with little tiny bots that almost look like just little white dots with a faint rim of color. Would someone send me a set of settings where this won't happen.

Also in the newest version occasionally a bot drags around a red or blue blob. What is that?
   Thanks

Numsgil:
Exactly what version are you using?

The blobs are probably the graphical representation of the bots being hit by shots.

What exactly are your settings right now that gets you tiny bots?  What bots are you using?

EricL:
There's a whole bunch of sims you can use here.

If you post your sim, that would help us figure out what is happening.

I have experienced the same thing. I am pretty sure its a result of little body mass or something, because it usually happens when a bot reproduces a ton in a few seconds, its offspring are all really really small specs.

Light:
Kage is right, the bots size on the screen is proportional to how much body it has. When you start a sim all the bots start with 1000 body units. When one of the bots reproduces it splits its body with its offspring so if it does 50 .repro it will end up with 500 body units and if it produces again 250, 125 62.5 etc so it will get progressivly smaller, a bot with 1 body unit is barely visible as a tiny bot. When bots feed they get some body units as well as energy, but usually it is necessary to have the bot convert energy into body units with .strbody. It is possible to fix the bot radii so that its size isn't linked to its Body, with a little tick box at the bottom left of the general tab in settings.
In 2.42.9 little blobs appear when a bot is hit by a shot and to show the direction a bot is trying to move in I think and possibly another circle appears when Slime, Shell are present.
