That would be all good but what if I wanted to model "realistic trees" not "imaginary trees" that are: "not rooted because they need to perform photosynthesis"

(I probebly will have to wait for the 3D virsion...  :( )

That's a logical inconsistancy with your previous statements.

You're basically saying:

"what if I wanted to model realistic trees that are not rooted because they need to perform photosynthesis?"

But being rooted does not prevent trees from performing photosynthesis.  You've in fact been espousing the opposite, that being rooted exclusively implies the ability to photosynthesize.

Perhaps you meant "What if I wanted to model imaginary trees that must be rooted to perfom photosynthesis?"

Then the answer would be "why do you want to model such a system?"  If the answer to that was interesting enough, we'd add such a distinction to the veggy feed rate.

Endy:
It might make more sense for plants to root themselves if more requirements for photosynthesis come online. A "tree" that takes waste that collects in the bottom and sun from above would be logical enough. Currently the vegs only need sun so they can fix/root themselves at the highest point and gain nrg that way. (Quite often annoying the crap out of me by killing off my bots below. <_< )

The high percent repro does the trick pretty well for tied sharer's allowing them to produce "branches" in something resembling a fractal pattern.

Numsgil:
Well, natural photosynthesis just needs water, CO2, and light.  But I can see your point.  Hmm, I'm not sure.  Simulate some nutrients or something?

Yup they do.

--- Quote ---You may even be able to unfix them with an info shot (0 .shootval store .fixpos .shoot store)
--- End quote ---
Yup you can.

Fixpos/fixed just writes/reads a value to/from the ".fixed" boolean variable that has always been used by blocked veggies.

Botsareus:
I still say if we get rid of "veg" we should get rid of "blocked" as well.

A person sets up an envirment to favor plants or animals.
So a person must set up an envirment to favor fixed or unfixed plants.

A person wants to model "alaska forest" or "under  solt water small scale"

He does not want to model "blocked" or "unblocked"


A person wants to model "the envirment plants live in" or the "the envirment animals live in"

Or he wants to model both so we make high resoltions and the e-grid.
