[Bump]

Just finished all my Unit tests.
I am going to run another sexually reproducing eco-system sim (using pond mode and corpse)
This time I am going to take Numsgils advice and make the sim larger.

Let me make this clear: Although it is Beta, It is one of the most stable drops DB had in a while.

I'm guessing veggies changed? Because there is no longer a veggie button.

veggies will be changed relatively soon. The new distinction will be 'repopulating robots.' To select a robot to repopulate use the 'Repopulate' checkbox instead of 'Vegetable (autotrof)'

Wasn't there something about chloroplasts or something?
