Black Smokers
Botsareus:
I thought all this e-grid stuff will be randomly located by the program and change locations over time...
...^ you can add that as an option though :rolleyes: ;) cant you?
...^ change cant be too fast or robots will have no time to addapt , change cant be too slow or we get hunters that dont like to search for food and travel because the food is always nearby, and we get plants that dont invent unique patterns of plasing there babys
OK from what you guys have been talking about I figured out this :
--- Quote ---1) Robots can mutate into who ever they want. The 4 things they can mutate into are are 1# waste feeder 2# Plant 3#Plant Eater 4#Hunter
2)The e-grid is the thing that determins what robots will mutate into

Did I get it right? If I did cool that will be the smartest thing that ever happend in DB

But do you like it though? There will be a vote soon.

You are partly right.
The program actively spreads stuff about so that eventually all cells of the e-grid will be the same. This is a slow process.
The idea of smokers, waste runoffs or whatever is so that we will have point sources which will continuously add certain things to the grid in specific locations. For example the smokers will be surrounded by zones of higher heat and Sulfer than surrounding areas. Both will slowly spread out and a certain amount will need to be lost at various places (possibly sinks, possibly robot metabolic proceses like coral reefs removing calcium from the sea, possibly by loss of volatile substances to the atmosphere above the pond) to balance the input.
:D PY :D

after that happens what kinds of robots are we left with?
As long as in the end all robots dont die , and we got plants and animals I am cool
PurpleYouko:
Just remember that all robots and plants will take something from the grid and put something else back.
For example a plant will grab up all the available CO2 around it and exude O2 so it will be in an area which is locally very high in O2 but low in CO2. The program will spread this around so that the plant doesn't suffocate in its own waste(O2) and has a steady supply of new CO2 to metabolize.
