Maximizing numbers in EvoSim

Yeah, I think that's part of the key to a good sim: you need the veggies to actually survive instead of being repopulated.  One of the best sims I ever ran used Enitor Comesum, a cannibalistic robot that's not very efficient, and stock alga minimalis veggies getting fed per instance instead of per kilobody and with fixed radii.  The veggies when cancerous, as they always do, and were able to form a "foam" of veggies with only 1-2 nrg each and generally reproduce faster than they were eaten.

The result was an actual red queen race between the veggies slowly learning to evade getting eaten or reproduce faster than they could get eaten and the animals trying to survive.  I had to give it up when the veggies learned to wiggle just enough to break the line of sight the animals use to feed.  The animal population crashed too far to form a viable sim.
