caterpillar simulation

<< < (2/5) > >>

Numsgil:
Just keep lowering the rates.  You can edit the rates of the species individually to very low numbers.  Try 1 in 50000.

jknilinux:
OK, I think I got it working...

I disabled point and major deletion. Everything left is 1 in 50000, except copy error and minor deletion, which are 1 in 5000. Still using the hardened caterpillar and 1/32x mutations.

I think what was really killing them was the point mutations... they reproduce slowly, so they'd get over 10 mutations before they had any kids... maybe that was it...

I'll keep you posted.

jknilinux:
Ok, I have good news and bad news... I just passed the 50 kCycle mark, so now it looks like they've overcome their suicidal tendencies, but the bots are averaging just 5 mutations each...  Is it supposed to be this slow?

Numsgil:
Yes.

For most bots I try to aim for no more than 1 mutation per 2 generations.  But a larger genome can usually withstand some higher rates.

jknilinux:
OK! Thanks numsgil! This is the first time I've reached over one megacycle with anything... and the caterpillars are still going strong!

In case anyone's interested, they're still forming coherent MB's and no cannibalism (yet XD).
