Never heard of stifftie before, sounds good though. Thanks.
I'm working on an antbot at the momemt; a colony starts out as a young queen that evolves to a queen when enough energy has been aquired to start a colony. It uses drones to relay messages to the workers, which are harvest (feed until 5000 nrg is reached, then go back to queen and release nrg) and kill (when more than 200 ants, attack everything more fiercely until more ants are needed.)
Any suggestions?

Start with some real basics; develop a hunter genome similar to Excalibur (as it is the best hunter around) but make sure you use some varibale(s) for a switch(es). Add some memory to remember a location you want to be the colony, say birthplace, or last known veg or, or last place they mated (something common to salmon). Develop a bot taht really tie feeds well, run it all with no mutations so you can really see how it works. Fine tune it with some tinkering and always compare genes before and after if its a complex set of genes for sasy communication. Make something unique for its conspec so it can last many generations; and establish what determines a queen or other member. Once your queen is produced, its up to you to develop each stage with a reset and switch. Slim 2 used only 3 or 4 stages, two of which involved collecting food and fixing to a spot; it is possible to develop said drones through reproductive-stagedependent genes taht produce other cells to make up some larger thing (in the case of certain ants, that would be a link to food to the colony, either transport or tie).

Although I have seen a few like these,  moving to interesting bots anyway.
