coexistence

[hdggDalton]

i started a new simulation yesterday to test out if shapes could increase diversity, i left drifting shapes on but at the slowest setting because i like things to be more dynamic, but all the shapes just seem to get stuck outside of the map? anyways it seems to work well enough though i haven't seen any dramatic differences, probably need to make the map bigger

Code: [Select]

Female DNA len  61 and male DNA len  61 had offspring DNA len  61 during cycle  520005

:o what is this? it showed up once in the mutation details, but hasn't showed up again ever since. did the bots have an extraordinary accident that allowed them to sexually reproduce, but just that once? because right now no one is sexually reproducing

oh man they figured out how to make chloroplasts... dont worry though i think i figured out how to keep them under control, raise the cost of chloroplasts from 0.2 to 0.5 though now they're almost extinct XD

ok so i have 1 picture of the whole simulation, 2 pictures of some bots tying though they always seem to die, one of them is just tying to every passing bot it can and the other seems to be stuck spinning with another one, and the last picture is an almost cancer bot that has really low energy need for reproduction (1500) feeding and encircling some plants... unfortunately they all died as soon as the food ran out. in the general population, some of them are moving in a corkscrew like pattern, while most are thrashing about randomly

[hdggDalton]

oh my god... the sim got overrun by bots evolving into plants, despite the increased chloroplast cost

i think i'll just rewind from a previous save

[hdggDalton]

i got some interesting news, the sim is now doing well, they're really good at hunting even small moving corpses. i think it's a side effect of the very high chloroplast cost, which means a lot of plants die trying to achieve 32000 chloroplasts, leaving a ton of corpses behind, and i suspect corpses are a big food source for them, which is why they became better at eating them. oh yeah also the waste threshold is really low, it's at 1000 so no fat bois who can't reproduce keep getting fatter and fatter, but also means when one plant dies it's likely the waste will spread to other plants, making them die, and then the waste keeps spreading to other plants as well, killing a lot of plants and leaving them as corpses. the bots seem to be very distrustful and try to stay away from each other. i'm not sure why this happened, maybe the bots figured that if it saw a fellow bot, there's no food there, so they go the other way and spread out more. maybe it's a reaction to cannibalism, like there was this one bot that seemed to have its attractions reversed - generally the bots are attracted to food (plants) and corpses and repelled by other bots, but this bot was attracted to other bots and repelled by plants and corpses, so it acted a bit like a predator! i gave it a bunch of energy so it could reproduce but it instantly ate its child. even though the bot managed to chase down most of the bots it came across and eat them, the energy balance of this bot still trended down because of its ridiculous refusal to eat plants and corpses. but suddenly i realized this bot could be useful for prodding the other bots to develop cool defense mechanisms through natural selection, without the possibility of it taking over (because it can't eat plants and corpses, and really likes eating its own children) so i saved it and named it cannibot! and now i can pop down a whole army of terminators to terrorize the bots whenever i want XD

[hdggDalton]

what the hell no way the bots are ganging up on my terminator cannibots, like if i put one down next to a bunch of bots, they won't run away to get picked off one by one, they'll freaking gangbang the cannibot to death, but it's so weird because they seem to be able to tell who's native to the simulation, they don't attack fellow native bots but rather do the thing where they try to stay away from each other, but the moment i put down a cannibot everyone tries to kill it. have the bots become too smart??? the context of the picture is, i put a cannibot down inside a triangle of 3 bots, it went after the smallest bot which was quickly killed, but then these 2 remaining completely unrelated bots (well they probably have a common ancestor but their colors were pretty different) gang up on the cannibot and kill it, and then they go their separate ways!

anyways here is the code of the current best bot, i caught him feasting on some plants and popping out some babies, so i already know he won't be a horribly mutated mess, and at one point he had 50 descendants out of a population of 200, making up an amazing 1/4 of the entire population!!! so i know it's gonna be good

on closer inspection i was really surprised that it kept this line: "*.refeye *.myeye !=" which is the line that i think stops them from devolving into endless cannibalism. but how does it tell apart native bots, some of which have deviated really far by the way, from the cannibot? another point of interest is that it uses its velocity to determine how big of a baby it should make? very interesting method of variance given the range is 0-60 (max velocity is 60)

[Numsgil]

yeah those are some interesting mutations.  Keep at it, see if you can get it to do more interesting things.

i think it's only making shell when it's tied to something, like when reproducing or when just having been birthed, that's quite ingenious because reproducing happens regularly (at least for those who are successful) it makes a decent amount of shell without making so much that it weighs the bot down so much that they can't move

[hdggDalton]

woah the simulation is 10 million cycles old now and weird things are happening, first it seems there was a big split in evolution that went 2 ways, there's the browns and the blues, also there were some bots that were tying to everything, unfortunately it seems they died soon after i observed them. also they lost the ability to make shell which is tragic but oh well. cannibalism seems to be more widespread too, though i think the majority of bots are still peaceful towards each other. i didn't see any compelling evidence that the blues and the browns were collectively hostile towards each other, i think cannibalism is more of a personal problem so if a bot is cannibalistic it will attack basically everyone no matter what

yeah its a beautiful mess isnt it lol

[hdggDalton]

hmmmm, ok so after like 3 simulations ruined by freaking plants taking over the simulation, i got suspicious that it always kept happening so i looked for any plant bots that might have existed. when i found the little bastard hiding by spazzing out in between some shapes that were close to his color i killed that mfer as soon as i found em, good thing for save backups. now the simulation is running smoothly after i turned down light energy from 50 to 20, and no more plant takeovers have happened.

now to the present, all the bots are very homogenous color, cyan, it seems between the blues and the browns the blues won out in the end! in the blue-brown era the bots were paranoid and tried to stay away from each other as much as possible, but now it seems the bots don't really care as much anymore, and just ignore each other i did see some isolated cannibals taking advantage of this but i think their new behavior of yeeting themselves once in a while in a new direction more often than not throws off the cannibals, and helps them find food too!

here is a sample of 3 of the best performing bots, it constantly changes over time so it's also a nice way of getting a sample of multiple good bots. a slight note, as i was writing this it seems a small green strain has popped up, in fact the 3rd DNA sample is from a green bot, which made it to be the best bot! so we will see if the greens take over or not

another update, it seems to be going well though the stable population is trending down, it used to be in the 200s and now it's in the 150s. The bots look a lot fatter, like they're hoarding all the energy for themselves. Cancer explosions also seem much more common now, like they happen every minute, has the reproduction dna become more fragile? I'm pretty sure cannibalism has become mainstream, like 10% of bots are cannibals is my estimate. I no longer have to try really hard to look for them, i just zoom in on a bunch of bots and more often than not there's a cannibal there eating someone's butt. They never really take over though as they always, always eat their own children and waste sooooooo much energy chasing bots around while their shots are hitting nothing, and i have energy cost of shots turned up from 2 to 5, too. At least they can sustain their population by eating plants, where the offspring has the chance to escape while their parents are busy eating. And also i assume there are constant additions to the ranks of cannibals from mutated bots messing up the part that tells them not to eat each other

[hdggDalton]

these guys are NOT having a good time... XD

[Numsgil]

it seems to be going well though the stable population is trending down, it used to be in the 200s and now it's in the 150s.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing; the most efficient strain isn't necessarily the most competitive strain.

[hdggDalton]

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing; the most efficient strain isn't necessarily the most competitive strain.

initially I was a bit concerned that the trend would continue downwards, and that a lower population would mean higher chance of sudden mass extinction as well as lower diversity. However now it seems to have leveled out at 160-180, thanks to some very cool evolved behaviors; when two bots meet, they now shoot while running away backwards. I like this, it's the "live and let live" behavior, where the bot won't pursue you, but if you try, they'll make you pay for it. I had simulated about 10 million cycles while placing pixels on r/place to defend the German flag, and a lot could have happened up to now. I assume at some point there was a huge spike in cannibalism, and cannibal bots took over the population. Eventually one of them, instead of moving forwards when detecting another bot, mutated to move backwards instead, but kept shooting when doing so. Then the behavior took off, exponentially growing as when 2 bots with this behavior meet, they minimize energy losses by moving away from each other, whereas a real cannibal will make both of them lose tons of energy by commencing a chase. However, it's still better than 2 cannibals meeting each other, since they will basically engage in a fight to the death, and in the end the winner loses a lot of body points anyways. It's like the prisoner's dilemma, but the cooperation won out in the end. There is also another bot strain that was the majority a few posts ago, the pacifists that simply run away without shooting. I think they would win out in the end against the backshooters because they don't waste energy shooting whenever they see a bot. However, the pacifist behavior is completely non existent in the current simulation, so I predict that the cannibals killed them all before the backshooters emerged, then the backshooters took over. Running long simulations is so cool, it's like an evolutionary fish tank

Anyways, time for the 3 best bots of the post!!!
I had a really hard time finding a best bot other than this one, this one bot is a beast, he had 28 descendants out of a population of 162 so i think it's safe to say his bloodline is secure

These other 2 bots were nowhere near as cool, with only 9 and 10 descendants each. The first bot literally has way more descendants than both of them COMBINED!!!

[hdggDalton]

oh my god, holy sweet jeeeesus... what happened here??? why are there blue dots everywhere??? why do they all have blue rings around them??? the worst part is, it's not even the bots, it's the freaking plant species that i put in for food, they somehow mutated and killed everyone... i saved this simulation just for funsies but it runs at half of a cycle every second so i don't think i'mma actually keep running it. oh my god their dna is so long wtf

[Numsgil]

I think those are viruses.  Which is interesting in its own way, but yeah maybe not what you were going for.

[hdggDalton]

edit: i need some help, the graphs are broken, it says i have the population and average mutations graph running but when i click on them nothing happens, i can't even see them, do you know how to fix this? the other graphs are fine btw

yea i restarted from a previous save and introduced a really steep cost for dna copying since i think that's the cost to make a virus, hopefully they won't completely take over again. At one point there was a bot species that became plants but since they didn't grow super fast i kept them to see what happened. Unfortunately they died out over time both due to inefficient method of making chloroplasts (i think they could only make chloroplasts if they saw natural algae) and some of the bots evolving to eat them. In the end the bots that evolved to eat them died also because it meant they would cannibalize their children, since the bot plants were considered the "same" species. After that there was a struggle between a species of velvet colored bots and some green chalk colored bots. The green chalk boys won out and took over the map, and I think this is because of their mutated ability to make some body whenever they saw something like another bot or plant. This adds up and gives them an advantage in feeding and fighting against the velvet bots. All of these are green chalk bots, though they might have some differences due to mutations and such:

This one's got the heart of the champion with 29 descendants out of a population of 190
