Evobot Stops when Birthing

(1/2) > >>

Tilthanseco:
This bot will stop moving when it wants to repro, this curiously leads to many big berthas in the sim who sit in front of veggies they were eating but can't reach now. (other bots keep pushing veggies in front of them)

The problem I have is that I don't know how the bot is stopping. It has a .up and .shoot command that are always active, but when it wants to .repro, the .up command gets canceled somehow?
Here is the Original:

--- Code: ---cond
start
100 .up store
-1 .shoot store
stop

cond
*.nrg 20000 >
start
30 .repro store
15 .aimdx store
stop
end
--- End code ---
Evolved: 535 Generations, 42 Mutations

--- Code: ---' Gene:  1
 cond
 start
 77 .up store
 -1 .shoot dec
 stop

'  Gene:  2
 start
 *.nrg 19819 >

' Gene:  3
 start
 42 .repro store
 store
 5 15

' Gene:  4
 cond
 *498 overbool

--- End code ---

Is this behavior attributed to storing 0 in -1? "... -1 .shoot dec ... 42 .repro store store"

Numsgil:
Yes, I think store takes the absolute value of the store location.  Possibly mods it by 1000 as well.  So 0 -1 store is the same as 0 1 store.

Tilthanseco:
Cool, Thanks

Now half the poor population mutated to not move at all. They're taking advantage of the stagnant veggies and being bumped by movers.
It does let them use half as much nrg/cycle, -3 instead of -6. The population has even doubled. (260 vs 140s)

"77 < store"

Numsgil:
It'll be interesting to see how stable that sort of mutation is.  It sort of relies on there being some movers somewhere

ikke:
looks like a mutation that cannot go into fixation
