Then how about something like:

cond
*.in1 77 =
start
1 50 store
stop

And so when a parent wants to give birth to a 'blank slate' baby it just has to put 77 in .out1 before reproducing

Numsigil youre right about the typo.
Elite thats a good idea! Originally I had thought to use the existing blank slates and insert dna in but that would make them old. However instead of the .in method I was going to use 2 different repro genes.

Also any ideas on how to accelerate the baby at birth?

One final question do the memory locations reset each cycle?

[EricL]

Depends on the location.  So do, some don't, some are read only, some are write only.

Thanks guys! I should have the first version out soon .
edit: do birth ties count as part of numties?

[Light]

as far as I remmember no

1) They do in 2.4X.

2) This is trivial to check via the bot console...

This gene
32000 .tielen1 store '( 'Endy's gene from Elite's post somewhere )

I don't think it's going to work in 2.4+ so the work around would use the same gene but have to use (1 .tie) or (.tie inc) to tie to parent first.

When it comes to birth ties, overlaying and extending seems to be as competitive as overlaying and cutting anyway.

As we have discussed previously, this gene should not work in 2.37.6 either. If it does then it is a big bug that needs to be squished pronto.

Tielen should only work on hardened ties.

[Endy]

Don't think it's that much of an issue and it is nice for the bots to have a sort of "natural" method of deleting ties/avoiding attacks.

Off topic:
Weird how we're all on at the same time  

Really strange since I'm sitting in Japan right now  

Going to be gone for a bit again, I'll post when I return

awsome!!!!!

can you guys post here when its in the bestiary?

[Jez]

It should get posted in the starting gate first, plus you should see it under 'view new posts' if it ever appears.

There have been a few multi-cellular plants designed but nothing with any real structure.

There has been talk of making plants with roots, trunks, branches and leaves but so far nobody has made one. It is certainly an area that could use some development.

you should you made working ants so plants should be easy
