The Predator5 bot in the internet sim seems to be impossibly hardy. I had veggies getting no energy, and I'd plop down 40 every thousand cycles for food. Standard costs. I come back and there are 10K of em. Brought my poor old ancient backup computer to a stand still.
Restarted, and I set age costs to 10 nrg/cycle. Just a few cycles in Predator has managed to quadruple it's initial download population. The energy in the sim has quadrupled too. Either it's some sort of exploit, or it's doing something very clever that I'm not getting. There just isn't any energy in the sim to exploit. So how the heck is it growing?
