I like it. I guess we put a setting in settings for what species to search?
3.) How does a robot know what species it came from instead of searching by robot name?

My best solution so far is to generate a new species list from the robots already in the sim. (BY ROBOT NAME ;))
This way if people add new robots, or it is an e-sim, we still got good data.
That leaves problem 1 and 2. Any ideas? (also, I still have no idea "how much robots to respown with" is set to by default)
Billy:
I was kinda thinking, right click on a bot, and "Find Best Of This Species" is in the list of options. And I thought it would be fine if it just looked at all bots with the same name.
Botsareus:
3.) Very cool, that is what I will do.

2.) We are doing:

Am I right? If so, problem: if the above is NOT per species then I get my mobile robots behaving just like Alga...
I need the

to be per species...
can we work that in, or am I missing something else here?

I think you're confusing two ideas here:
There's whether a bot starts with 1000 body or 1000 chloroplasts when the sim starts (which was previously marked with the "vegetable" tag in teh per-species options).
That's separate from whether the bot is "paid" in body/chloroplasts or nrg when vegs get fed. That's what the slider is used for.
I'm not sure if that's still the plan for how things would work, but it certainly makes sense to me to keep that option (it has uses in zerobot sims, too, where you slowly wean veggies towards making their own chloroplasts/body).
Botsareus:
Look man , I think it will be best to have a slider for each specie to let it know that when this particular specie is spawned how much "chloroplasts" it has. We also have to make sure all the children of that resulting robot keep the same amount of "chloroplasts" so they work identically.
Then we also have to worry about what will our respawn amount be, and how to keep the simulation from having infinite energy.
This is the best I can go for instead of just adding what I proposed earlyer. If you can think of anything better feel free because in the end you are the boss.
