fdbody CLOSED (BY DESIGN)

[shvarz]

Not sure if this is a bug, maybe it's just my limited knowledge of how DNA works.

I noticed that one of my veggies has a mutation that makes it eat 10 body points every cycle. But its body stays intact and no energy is gained. The gene is shown as active on every cycle.  Here is the genome, the gene in question is at the very end (gene 11):

I have the sim saved if you need it.

My off the top guess is that it is receiving body from the sun and this is offsetting the fdbody.  Check on how you have the veggy body/nrg distribution slider set...

[shvarz]

I am giving only energy, no body. Besides, the sun is out.  So I am guessing it's not a trivial issue, so I'm attaching the sim to this reply. The bot is on the left side of the screen, right between the red teleporter and the dead bot.

The strbody in gene 9 is balancing out the fdbody in gene 11.
