What does Amplification mean?

(1/3) > >>

Testlund:
When I looked at 1 bot's mutations it said 'Delta mutations changed Amplification from 1 in 5000 to 1 in 5097.514'. What does that mean? Nothing I can edit in the mutations dialog.

Numsgil:
It's a mutation type that isn't enabled in current versions (it was extremely buggy).  Basically it would take a length of DNA, replicate it, and insert it randomly back in the genome.

shvarz:
Oh, that's a very nice kind of mutations! Too bad it's not working...

Numsgil:
Eric seems good at fixing buggy features.  Maybe if we bug him enough, he'll fix it (there was another mutation type as well, IIRC, that isn't enabled).

Does it happen in nature? Otherwise Eric doesn't need to bother.
