I've been having some difficulties in my evo sims in recent versions, specifically the bots expend very little energy doing anything, and absorb energy from feeding at a furious rate.
This leads to a situation where there's no evolutionary pressure.
In old versions of darwinbots, you could control the costs of movement, of executing a condition, and etc - unfortunately, when I try to bring up the "set costs" menu, darwinbots crashes with a "you need msstdfmt.dll on this machine."
I tried downloading it and placing it in the darwinbots directory, and in windows/system32, to no effect.
Is there some way to manually configure the costs? Or rather, what lines in the settings file contain those variables?
I'd really like to be able to make the cost/consuption ratio more balanced - bots speeding around with little to no expenditure just isn't conducive to evo, and playing with friction and viscosity just isn't balancing it out enough.
