Lichen, I have not heard from it earlier, but searched google I found something that I understand, now is'nt it that a cyanobacteria is a lichen too it's a photosynthesizing bacteria. What I find is a bit interesting.
Structurally, lichens are among the most bizarre of all forms of life. That's because every lichen species is actually composed of two, possibly even three, distinct species of organisms
The description I found about lichen, tell me if it's wrong. I often compare if with wikipedia, but it seems it's down .

So why should our two or three cell bots have to have a head or tail? Or even a structure beyond a permanent tie?
Protist aren't formally animals but hey are called one cellular animals, and they are in many ways much more complicated than any multibot.

No, the wiki doesn't say a bot has to have a head it's a suggestion of the wiki. Triangulus_P has'nt got any head, but it's a multibot. For the structure I think some kind of structure rule is needed as the wiki says I quote.
A large mass of veggies that are all tied together in an amorphous blob is not generally considered a MB.
The creator must tell what structure it bot is getting, all bots connecting to eachother, checking if they are connected, and they can then feed I don't call a multibot. A pretty simple bot is Triangulus_P(I have'nt even looked at the code, but the creator in the extbox says it's simple), something like two bots connected with a hardened tie and shooting at everything they see is a multibot, as long it can't be random 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 bots tied together and shooting at everything, that's not a multibot.
I agree that a MB should be able to reproduce like for like but only in the sense that the 'spore baby' has the potential to reach its parents state.
I, agree with that, the idea I have is a 3 cel-bot may have an interspecie of 2 cel to feed, no feeding in one cel, and at all times it most have the potential to become it final specie.
How about;
Must have a permanent tie with a bot created by itself before it can feed?I suggest at least a hardened tie, and I think there have to be more rules to have a good setting about multibots.
Edit(a permanent tie is of cource a hardened tie, forged I'd said it)
As our bots are only scraping the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the difference between unicellular and multicellular life I don't want to make it to hard for them!
I will look or it's really hard to make a multibot on a way it's towards the rules I want to have, I am just new if I can make it everybody can, then I will look furher toward what good rules are.
