DB3 Questions
Houshalter:
--- Quote ---Given the behavior of a bot's germline over the last, say, 100K cycles, there is an optimal muscle distribution which would have minimized the energy cost of those actions. That's true regardless of how we approach specialization.

What if the bot doesn't live 100k cycles?

--- Quote from: Numsgil ---Veggies mostly build mass, so I imagine any "muscles" a veggie has would be to allow them to build more chlroplasts/chlorophyl at a higher efficiency. Or maybe I treat chloroplasts like a muscle that can become more efficient, so each chloroplast provides more energy or something like that.
--- End quote ---
What I meant was the ammount of energy a veggie gets depends on the amount of chloroplasts and surface area or circumfrance.
--- End quote ---
Dependent on the amount of chloroplasts, but chloroplasts have a large volume so bots with lots of chloroplasts will be larger as well.

I understand now, thanks. I was wondering how they would work.
Numsgil:
It's a running average carried over generations. If it's the start of a sim you could still seed your bots with a given profile, though. So league bots could still be tweaked for a given specialization, either by hand or by running it through some mock leagues and saving out the running average every round and averaging those together.
Houshalter:
Why can't specialization be controlled the same way everything else is. A veggie might have the gene "10 .mkchloroplast store". Sure its more fragile, harder to evolve, and makes hand coding bots more complicated, but thats true for everything else in darwinbots. If you want to change the fundamental way bots' input, output, and mutations work, thats an entirely different subject. It seems to me like the only way to do it without destroying multibots and leagues.
Numsgil:
You still make muscle, fat, chloroplasts, shell, slime, etc. manually. This is more how the muscles specialize (shooting muscles vs. more general purpose muscles). Or maybe the efficiency with which your chloroplasts can convert sunlight in to nrg. Or how efficiently you can convert stored fat in to energy. Things like that.
