Is sexual reproduction broken?

<< < (3/3)

Botsareus:
Robots tend to de-evolve sexrepro very often as well. I actually had to put a check called "Disable asexual reproduction for un-repopulating robots" on the edit menu to force robots to reproduce sexually. I conclude that it takes a long time and millions of mutations for multibotness and sexual reproduction to become useful, just like in real life.

Botsareus:
Here is a counter argument that Numsgil is supposedly addressing with DB3. Robots in DB2 do not need unique ability to move and to see. While in real life, single celled bacteria can not swim really fast and needs to form an organism to swim faster. Travel on land is the same issue, but is even harder to accomplish as basic swimming motion does not work. Finally, an eye organ needs to form to be able to see. An advantage being that you can see reasonably far away. Which is impossible to do in DB2.

However, all this requires very smart logic and powerful hardware to get a responsible frame rate.
