Correct Panda, Robots that are not set to repopulate can still make chloroplasts if want. (As long as you do not restrict them from settings)
What I meant was, a lot of bots will get some chloroplasts, even if they don't have a programmed role of veggie (rather than in the repopulation setting).
I recommend you actually play with the program Panda.
When I get a chance to, I will. I've been really busy at the moment preparing for my final year project and helping my girlfriend pack for France.
As far as automatically chloroplasts loss, I was playing with that idea in my minds eye and came to the conclusion that it is a bad one, now if only I can remember why. Definitely was something with balancing out cost for chloroplasts production and makes the ambient light feature useless.
I suggested this because of my first point; bots who's roles are not veggies are having a few chloroplasts (though this may be prevented by a linear mass addition. Why does it make the ambient light feature useless (I cannot work that out, sorry)?
On a final point, after making mass liner I think it is looking way better, still I want specifically Panda to play with 2.48 (drop any day now, I want IM)
That's really good. I think it was a bad idea to do it in the first place now; I cannot remember why we wanted it in the first place.
When you go back to school Panda?
I travel back next Saturday but I don't start until the 22nd of Sept. I am quite busy until then, though. I hope to continue being part of this community during the year but I'm quite worried that I won't be able to.
