How do you make a bot stop moving?

Moonfisher:
Didn't know if it was working, tryed activating IM and the teleporter popped up, but if I tried showing the IM pop graph then everything crashed. So didn't actualy think it got out there.
Anyway I won't spread it on IM again if people are trying to run evo sims there. It was mostly because EricL challenged bot coders to hit 9000 bots on IM, and the idea was for the alge to eventualy infect a regular bot with a virus version of FruitFlies and have the infected bot take over the sim. Other than that it spread viruses to get rid of the other alge, and also as part of it's own clever virus defence capable to assimilating new viruses and spread them without taking damage from them. So if everything just died it actualy didn't have the desired effect, it was suposed to make enough fruitflies to freeze your sim
But I'll only put evo bots on IM if that's what people are running atm (Back then it was up against Seasnake3 I think)

Panda:
The same happened to me when I went onto internet mode, it showed me the graph for a little while but then when it tried to update it crashed.

Yes, these pop up/under graphs are tiresome, especially if you're a perfectionist like me and want all graphs nice and tidy on the screen.
If you minimize them and restart internet mode they tend to get stuck so you can't open them again.

Yes, that is what happend. My touch bot 'PokeMe' exploded into tiny bots all over the screen and dissapeared.

That's because I run with lots of costs and nrg/body distribution set to zero so the bots have to use their own nrg/body transfer. I think that's more realistic.

Well, I've given up trying to evolve zero bots in my sims which have been my main interest with DB, one of the reasons why I never got into bot designing, but I thought I should give it a try to learn it and see if I can design a few simple bots, preferably based on real unicellular organisms.

Maybe you guys would be interested in running a pure evosim under the Christmas holiday, while being away from the computer celebrating?

Hopefully Nums may be able to fix the saving problem until then so any cool sim don't get lost.
