Tides, as an addition to the weather aspect.
spork22:
Ok, how about this: The tides are nothing but a giant invisible shape that is generated where the tide starts. Then the shape moves to where the tide ends, and moves backwards to where it was generated. Then the process is repeated. This shape could have variables that aren't in normal shapes, such as the ability for a bot to pass through the shape with little or no resistance. It's simple. Kind of like a big, invisible push broom.
Botsareus:
How about just set the feeding methods to quote 'favor large sterile vegys' How about actual wait for a mod to come out and play with it yourself before making further comments? How about actually figuring out why a certain feature is not working before claiming a senior rev. has no idea what he is doing?
I do not know how networking works but I am trying my best to learn it.
I do not know how ecosystems with chloroplasts really form but my desire to move on to stuff I actually understand has over powered my curiosity at this point.
Like any person I have a set of goals in life, and recreating another earth is not on the list.
This is my last statement on the subject.
Testlund:
I guess Botsareus are eager to get Darwinbots 2 finished and done with. I personally don't think it needs any more features. Also there must be a limit how much you can add to it before it starts to slow down to much.
There's eventually going to be a Darwinbots 3 at some point, with maybe a lot of cool new things for the next generation of computers. :)

I'm okay with beginning work on DB3. I just basically use what I have right now.

Trying to answer every post in 1 here.
Debugging
I can try and help you with debugging Botsareus, but I'm afraid that I'm but a clever amateur. I can learn, and I understand the concept, but no clue how much actual help I'll be. (I'm Canadian, we're soup sandwich soft compared to you Russians)
Overnight Sim with 8174bot
The overnight simulation looked interesting, especially the split between bot sizes, did you notice anything else that was interesting?
That bot is just a mash of nonsense I've been evolving, I don't think it needs to be debugged yet. After 3 million cycles it was the only one to have 15 generations and a kill.
Documentation
By documentation I really just meant a small blurb on the Darwinbots Wiki. One that says how you start it up, what you should be watching for, how you restart it after the program closes, how it backs up bots to an evolution folder, etc.
Complications due to Tidal mode
As for complications arising due to tidal mode. My hope was that it would be a simple method to tie several physical functions together, that may yield some unforeseen results. If it got complex, or became a headache, my recommendation would be to ditch it in favor of Darwinbots as a whole. My intention is not to clog up the development process, or cause Botsareus undue stress.
Using a large shape to stir/Rebuilding the Earth!
The stirring with the shape concept is something I thought of as well when coming up with the tidal idea. As the shapes were static, I thought it would be harder to implement than gravity cycling. Either way Botsareus doesn't want to rebuild Earth, so I'm not about to make him.
Favoring work towards Darwinbots 3
If development wants to go towards Darwinbots 3, fine by me. I just saw development still going forwards with 2, so thought I'd add a suggestion. Had no idea if anyone would pick it up in the first place. I'm quite excited for Darwinbots 3 myself :)
Thanks for everyone paying this much attention to my whimsical idea though! :D
