Flypaper 3.2 finally kills off Nasty Plant

Try restarting DB. The VB Inet control gets into a funny state sometimes. I have yet to find a way to get it out of that state other then to tear down the process...
EricL:
Wow. Last night before I went to bed, Lionfish 5 had taken over EricL3 and wiped Flypaper out completly in that sim. I thought for sure I would wake up this morning and LF would have colonized the others and own IM. But FP has retaken the sim and Lionfish is dead there and in my others. I wish we had the tools to see whether this was ther result of FP adapting or LF devolving (does it even mutate? I can't find one to check!) or something else...
MacadamiaNuts:
Shape awareness.
I've been too lazy to number the LF5 subversions. Anemone also helped. Still, I'm totally amazed on how efficient is FlyPaper. And with mutations on.
LF evolves but it doesn't mutate. LF4 had 4 evolving variables and LF5 has 13 or so. They all are stored from 971 to 983. Two LF's can have quite different strategies one from another yet changes won't wreck them.
For LF5 I had to code it back to true conditional code as many genes were using too many conditions already- That's a limit of 1G coding, or at least from the human readability and debugging point of view.
I stole also the bodyfeeding gene -I didn't knew you could use -6 for .tieloc too-. When I saw stickerbush 'deflating' bots I thought it was injecting values in .fdbody.
LF5 is a bag of tricks, I put in everything that sounds cool, but it probably has so many overkills that it leaks tons of unoptimized energy. It has 31 genes and still some 1G code.
MacadamiaNuts:
Woah, LF5 died again.
What kind of evil settings those sims have?

Pretty vanilla. Autocosts with F1 settings minus DNA charges and a few shapes.
