Feeding and body

(1/3) > >>

Peksa:
Feeding with -1 shots from veggies seems to increase body too or am I just seeing things?

None of my bots are using -6 shots (as far as I can tell, evolved dna can be a pain in the ass), but my bots body keeps increasing without body management commands (again as far as I can tell) when fighting.

Numsgil:
nrg shots that are returned (whether from -6 or -1 shots) give a little to body and a lot to nrg.  The concept of body wasn't always around, so back in the day this was set up as a way to help integrate older bots.

Peksa:
Okay, thanks. Evolved bots seem to take advantage of this. In all of my evosims bodymanagement has broken up after a while and bots get all their body (100-300) from shooting. It's a bit of a shame becouse it further simplifies dna.

Numsgil:
Yeah, it's a good example of the program doing too much for bots.

Peksa:
Is there any hope of changing it? I know DB is supposed to be backwards compatible, but energy-body management has been around for some time now (from summer -04, according to F1 league's bot addition dates) and only a few bots in leagues predate it.

If the change isn't too much of a hazzle, leagues could be run with it and see if there's dramatic changes and undo it if needed.

One alternative would be designing enough new bots to push the old ones from league and then change it  It could take a while though: Darth Shimazu still holds place 14.

Edit: some typos.
