Why no reproduction in Survival Mode?
Testlund:
I don't get why reproduction is disabled by default here.
Botsareus:
Not sure what you mean. Reproduction should be enabled in survival mode. Are you sure you did not disable it in "evolution restrictions" ?
The only thing that should be disabled is mutations for blue robots.
Botsareus:
Wait a minute, I think I know by looking on your screen shot.
Did you add any plants for your robots to feed on before starting survival mode?
Testlund:
I just picked a plant bot when asked to choose a bot, that's all. Maybe there is something in the settings that affect it. You can check it out with the files I uploaded in my latest bug report.
Botsareus:
Oh ok. Some pointers:
Plant evolution as is does not work in survival mode. I think I may have a fix, but it is a pretty big fix so I am holding it of for now.
The only way survival mode really works is if your robots are allowed to reproduce. Point mutations may work (although honestly never tried it) but I give it about a 5% of working because the population will be too small for survival mode to figure out anything useful from it. Usually survival mode works best with at least 25 robots successfully reproducing within 8K cycles.
