Numsgil:
There are some flocking bots you can look at. Fish School is an early bot by me. There's also SWARM which behaves more robustly.
PeaceHeather:
Thanks, I'll download those right away.
A question: Why the heck do my bots keep shrinking? I'm just running Alga and Animal Minimalis, but the animals keep getting smaller and smaller, until they reach a point where they stop to feed while their shots are still out of range. To keep them alive I'm shoving algae on top of them, but even when I can get food into them, they don't seem to grow. What's up with that?
Houshalter:
Under the General settings tab theres a "veg Body/Nrg distribution". Set it to 25 or 50 percent and watch the vegs bulk up as well as the bots that eat them.
bacillus:
Every time a bot reproduces, a percentage of both its energy AND body mass is transferred, and feeding only regenerates energy (up to a certain point). Most of the simplistic bots don't have any genes which regenerate this body mass, so body feeding and reproduction which make the bots smaller and smaller...
Houshalter:
Ya but to quote the wiki:
--- Quote ---After body and energy shots hit a bot they receive a -2 shot back in proportion to the damage caused by the original shot in the ratio of: 95% energy, 4% body and 1% waste. .shootval increases the range and strength of such a shot.
--- End quote ---
If the veggies have lots of body then the bots will get some of it.
