You mean save organism in plain in assie? you still have to do a ton of work to set up a robot for that when creating new settings.
I beleave It's time we consider the mutation rates as part of the dna. All dna.txt files must have there mutation rates attached to them. This helps newbe evolutionists not spend time figuring out whats the most defult mutation rates. It also helps loading a robot into a settings file from a "save robots dna on autosave" rotine (witch is pritty much the only thing that seems to work for me in the current virsion, after I reload the organism file into seporate instance of the program and then extract the dna. also kills time.) This means the auto save would be even more usefull if it had the option of saving the dna and rates instead of the organism. In any case the "save robot dna" routine should be modifed to include rates.
So another solution would be: make the load robot button in the settings have an option eather to load by dna file or by organism file. This still means that there is no fast way to keep the rates with the dna file and Edit them, splice them etc. (unless we rewrite all the robots in orgainsm files) So I suggest you go with the longer paragraph above.
Ofcorese another solution would be is make everyone learn visual basic and make custom patches to the program, witch I have already done but If I had this things in the program itself would be a lot easyer.
It does not take too mutch time to write rates:
'300,200,500,400,300
in a simple camma dilated format at the end of the dna file. It's even easyer to load them using the Split() function.
P.S.
Am I repeating myself too mutch? -Its for a good cause.
Shvartz what do you mean by "mebo"? do you mean Metabolism? If so, I think we have spent a good 3 weeks of computer time discusing it already, all it does need to do is to get added. (although I still think if we have blocked checkbox it is the same thing as still heaving the veg check box)
