Actually I have no idea why walls are uranium balls waiting to explode.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if somehow my DNA code morphs into something really strange. I won't hold my breath though.
I followed a Delta on here journey after inserting her into my sim. She killed a number of Alphas then, while chasing one she seemed to drag. Through the console I learned that, though the Alpha she was chasing was showing .vel 81 Delta was suddenly reading .refvel 34. I noticed this because Delta's eye values in eye4,5,6 had dropped from 43 to 32 in one cycle. Looking at the other Delta in the sim for verification is where I found she was exceeding her (too low) .maxvel. My experience is that Delta should maintain maxvel of 57. Suddenly having a maxvel of 18 (while .vel showed velocity of 19) with less than 600 body and no shell was a bit of a surprise.
I've attached my settings file and my two Bots in a zip folder. I'm trying to determine where a good threshold for a stable population is in a small #2 sim. This is preliminary to a #5 sim for my testbed. I let the Alpha population get up to about 100+ before inserting a couple of Deltas. After about 4-5,000 cycles you should see the issue.
Unless, of course, I have queertrons in my PC which are causing the problem and thus is not the fault of the application. I do keep my PC pretty clean though and have not experienced any issues with my other apps.
Numsgil:
Sounds like a massive but subtle bug somewhere in the program. This is going to be a pain to find and fix.
PurpleYouko:
Isn't it though?
I reviewed all the code that controls maxvel yesterday and I can see no issues with it. All my tests worked exactly as predicted. The only way I can see the velocity getting bigger than 60 is if body has become negative somehow.
That should not be possible as the robot should be dead at this point.
I will check it out and see if I can reproduce this error.
PurpleYouko:
Can anyone download that zip OK?
It downloaded OK but unzipped into a folder containing one file full of garbled, unusable nonsense.
No robot files
No settings file
