I would like to be able to set up a simulation and when, not all the bots are dead, just certain species, for it to reset... Just an idea

A good idea.  Maybe if I have a spare second and a masochistic attitude I can add a flag per species to signal that the species is "critical", and force a restart if the species dies out.

If you can make it optional. If I run a sim with 10 species I don't want my whole sim to start over just because one died.

I figure it'd be a toggle that would generally replace the "restart sim when bots die" option.  If I were more aggressive I'd link it to the veggy repop so when a species dies you could have the sim repop them, restart, etc.

Sounds like a cool idea.

Maybe also doing it only when multipul of the species die, not just one so only when 3 of them die not just one.
