STOP THE DREADED JUNK DNA IN ITS TRACKS

(1/8) > >>

Botsareus:
I have an uneasy feeling that the junk dna in my and shvartz simulations will never stop building up until there will be some kind of overflow error....

Therefor:

Numsgil:
First of all, you can't really calculate what is/isn't Junk DNA.  It's just too complicated.

A better solution is to charge for DNA length, either as a continuous cost every cycle (maybe 10^-3 nrg per bp) or during replication.

Assuming of course that you see the Junk DNA as a problem.  DNA can get up to 32000 elements long, and I have yet to see a bot that pushed that envelop.

Botsareus:
Calculate length of all dna and put costs on replicating it.

Alright Ill be waiting for it...

Endy:
Maybe increase the time required for replication based on size. This would probably affect the bots more than nrg requirements.

Endy B)

PurpleYouko:
My own solution!

Allow junk DNA to just keep building up. We have no idea what is junk and what isn't anyway.
Robots are already charged energy to evaluate conditions based on the DNA length. Maybe just raise the default rate a little in the options panel.
