Bot Tavern / multibot idea

well the first cell is only tie- feeding with the alga.all the other cells are connected either to the stem, dome, or to it. also,
when it has used up all of the food around it it would go into a kind of dormant phase and eventually use up all of its NRG making "spores". this is almost exactly what a normal mushroom does(except for the flinging part)

thanks for the advice!


PS the central cell also acts as a brain, controlling all the other cells.

Bot Tavern / another MB idea

I have another idea already!



Ive noticed that in the newer versions of DB the cells can change sizes. Well...

What if someone designed a bot that has a big central cell a bunch of little ones around it in a half ring shape?

Then the bot could be peacefully eating some alga when it is suddenly attacked. instead of running away(because its predators could easily catch and kill it,) it transfers almost all of the NRG from the central big cell to the outer little cells, reversing their size and causing the ring to close. The central cell then tells all the outer cells to start firing at whatever they can see. After the enemy has been obliterated (as in it cant see it anymore) the MB returns to its normal state and resumes eating.

So what do you think?

Hi! This is just for anyone who would like to hear about a MB ive come up with.

A single cell lands on a colony of algea and ties to as many as it can.

Then after it gets anough food through the ties it sends 2 offspring upwards where they give birth to a protective dome structure.

THEN it grows cells that hang down from the dome(these are its "eggs").

To spread its eggs it dome contracts and the ties holding the eggs in place snap, sending them out into space looking for some more colonies.

Also, the domes upper surface fires shots, viruses, exc. at anything that comes too close.

so what do you think?


p.s.- the whole thing looks kinda like a mushroom
