Before I do so, how much times did you mess with the settings? That is a known memory leak.

What do autokills do exactly?

On what I changed  I increased the max amount of chloroplasts quite a bit.  It wasn't really intended as a big report. Just a oh, it crashes when you get way too many bots.

Total, combined with the chloroplasts is ~33k bots not 13k. ;)

Alright I will crank up auto kills a bit. It kills weak robots automatically to prevent out of memory.

Hey Peter, since you have first hand experiance with this stuff. (I do not because my computer is an old one)
Can you read this formula and tell me what may be better:

The main factor is dna, so currently:

I calculate all dna lengths across robots and sum it (sperm shots and sperm dna not included)

If the dna is greater then 3825000 I do this:

TotalRobotsDisplayed is the total amount of robots on screen (vegys and such)

totlen is as above, a number greater then 3825000

Kill 1500 * (CLng(TotalRobotsDisplayed) * 425 / totlen) crappy robots.

What is CLng?

Is it possible to stop reproduction at that point till it's back to proper levels?
Oh my god, who the hell cares.

That means I have to hack yet another variable into global. Sure can in the next revision.

Oh, good old CLng :redface: Convert to a long number.
