I've released another version for 2.43. It's in The Bestiary

I've fixed it so all the coding now works, and took the oppertunity to use Eric's eyeXwidth command to give it 360 degree vision, which has really helped with the swarming. And now with an antivirus gene to give it a chance at F1 against virusbots without affecting it's usual behavior

I've attached a swarming vegetable: essentially SWARM 2.0 with all the attack genes stripped out and some minor modifications for collision avoidance and random reproduction staggering

I would be interested in understanding why the old version did not swarm in 2.43...

It was using come conditionless coding that depended on negative storing not functioning. Negative stores are absoluted now, so it was storing when it shouldn't.
