Lovebot works pretty well in spreading the virus.
spork22:
I've found one that works pretty well: It's something I saved that evolved into a bot that goes after bots, but it circles around them.
I put the zombie virus in it and they managed to infect a plant and then push it away to infect other plants. They also cancel out unhelpful zombies like plants by waiting for the plant to shoot most of it's energy out as viruses and then die. The circling bots then pick up the energy released by the plant when it died and reproduce.
Shadowgod2:
well i'm trying to make it use it's host's genes work against it to prevent an overly large virus that takes forever to "charge" to infect another bot hence part in the name. i have another that will have full control and simply deletes the host genes but i have yet to start on that.
spork22:
That sounds interesting. So it could technically make a plant a zombie, just by deleting all of it's genes and putting the zombie genes in it? Yeah, the slow charge-up is a problem. It has to spread fast enough so that by the time the rest of the species notices that there's zombies, they can't kill it off because there's just so many.
spork22:
In a species like the Dominator Invincibalis, a zombie infection would have to spread really, REALLY fast, because they kill each other frequently, even if they're not zombies.
Maybe we could add a simple "enemy number" system, where, if it's only one zombie against two of the species it's trying to infect, it would run away. If it was only one zombie against one of the species, it would circle rapidly around it to prevent getting attacked. And if it's a horde against a few of the species, just overwhelm them!
