That depends on whether you want veggies to grow towards the light, or engage in philosophical debate. Veggies grow, no need for deep reasoning.
As for moving veggies reasoning for light direction: move them twice in othogonal direction and you know what up is. Or have them jitter around a vector, see if intake improves more or not, and decide if the vector is better or not. Deep enough? Still no need for sysvar

Real-world plants know where light is. I just think DB plants should be realistic, especially if that realism encourages complex behavior. Besides, your new algorithm seems too complex to evolve and is easily broken- shade from another bot could disrupt it.

Hah, I lost that discussion. Just use the existing but rarely used sysvar '*.sun' would help a lot. The harder part would be building a tower. Well ofcource you can stuck yourself to the enviroment. But that is too easy.

Actually, plants don't 'know' where the sun is, they happen to grow towards the sun because sunlight slows the production of a certain growth hormone, resulting in the darkened side growing more than the illuminated side. End result, plant faces sunlight. The only problem is, what happens when the plant is dead-on?

Just the remark I wanted to make. No reasoning just growth. This is what I wanted to simulate by the tie feeding solution.

Easy: It faces the right direction, and a minimal amount of hormone is produced-> grow to the light as fast as you can.
