I've seen many examples of bots producing a large offspring leaving a tiny parent. Thats practically just restarting the ageing cost from zero. The child has full size from the beginning and don't need to do anything.

Yes! Exellent! Better than ageing cost.
Panda:
I've always avoided ageing costs, I haven't really liked them. :/
Numsgil:
They're definitely an artificial construct. But they're a useful cattle-prod type tool if you want to encourage a particular type of evolution. It's definitely a circular saw when you want a scalpel, though.
Testlund:
It reminds me of my overbreeding catfishes. I've had problems with them becoming too many upsetting the balance in my aquarium. A few days ago I discovered that the PH level had gone up a bit too much, so I decided to lower it with aquacid. I'm afraid I used a little too much. The old fishes that I've had for many years started dying off. There skin had become irritated causing fungus and bacteria growth, which typically only attack older and weeker fishes.
That was my artificially introduced ageing cost. :P
Panda:
Do you want me to try and code this in or not?
