A little evolution for everyone!
Numsgil:
I think I agree with sprotiel on this one. Only apply the cost if a baby is successfully produced.
Greven:
Yes maybe Sprotiel is right!!!
Ulciscor:
I think so too. Since the offspring never actually comes into being no resources should be spent. Unless a portion of the energy is used attempting to make the offspring and the rest used only if it exists.

I didn't claim that the solution wasn't obvious.
It just isn't that easy to implement.
I agree that a bot should only be charged when the reproduction is successful. The trouble is in telling when it has actually been successful.
I spent a few hours attempting to figure this out then decided it wasn't worth the effort so I just removed the cost altogether. There should probably be some minor cost involved to copy the DNA so if need be we can put in the time to code it again.

PY, you are saying the robots currently lose half there energy during 50 .repo if there was not enough room?
