I am lost. My head aches. I cannot see the issue through my tears.
My Delta is down. All of her babies explode on cycle 1.
I've read (and experienced) that this is usually a coding problem in the DNA (missing start, stop, etc.). I can't find it.
Maybe momma is shooting the baby? I've no-op'ed, coded around, conditionalized mom's feeding genes to no avail.
I no-op'ed the "birth tie" genes, movement genes, everything I could think of. Sadly, Delta's babies still poof like a bullet in a campfire.
She was working and I've compared old version with this one and can't see where I've #$*^'ed up.
To run a properly controlled sim I need my Alpha-1 (will not mutate), Alpha-2 (allowed to mutate) and selection pressures (food & predator) all well adapted to their present starting niche. I did not like Delta's hunt routine and made copious modifications. Now she's done got broke and I can't see the fix.
Anyone with some time and inclination, please help. She is attached.
Be gentle with her.
Heartbrokenly yours,

Your gene #20 is missing the stop command

This just shows that what we need is a DNA file compiler
It would go through and tell you if your DNA file has errors and where they are.

We needs lotsa things. But we have only two poor bastards to exploit - giv'em a break

2.4, I count as .4

Shvarz! You sweetheart! My hero!
I didn't even look at that stupid gene since, I donno, didn't seem important in the reproductive process.
Thank you, thank you.
No need for a DNA compiler (though it would be nice). Just some additional headspace and timing on the bot maker's part.
All is right with the universe.
