Hi,
I recogniced, that the number of mutations within my zero-bot sim allmost perfectly matched with the estimated number, calculated with the mutation-rate. I used the standart rates (1/5,000,000 for point-mutation) and had an average of 190 mutations at 4,000,000 circles (DNA length is 231). Estimated number is about 185, if I'm right.
The global mutation rate is at 32X, so I wondered, if maybe those 1/5,000,000 are meant to be at 32X and I ran a simulation with a global mutation rate of 1/32 with the same result (average of 45 mutations after 1,000,000 cycles).
At last I ran a simulation with an oscillating mutation rate and watched the mutation-graph, wich should have built steps. But it returned a straight line so there is no change in mutation rate.
I searched the forum without any result, cause I thought I might have missed that mutation rates are disabled.
So it seems to be a bug, but I can't imagine noone else found this before.
I use Version 2.43 of course
