Code: [Select]
*.tiepres .readtie *.numties sgn mult store
It should work much better

Hey MrMound
Don't you want to do something with all the energy you're recieving. Store body, make slime and shell, use really powerful shots etc.
With several veggies powering the bot it's got lots of energy to burn :D

Well that kinda depends on the initial feed rate for the veggies. You get a bunch on th default settings but I always turn it way down to about 10 or 20 in my sims so I wouldn't get anything like as much free energy.

Still enough to power a bot. So long as it's not fighting for it's life from it's first waking moment there's some periods of low energy expenditure that it can use to build up it's defences.

The default is several thousand :blink:
When I first ran a sim I wondered why the veggies were twice as large as the regular bots

Really?

Guess I never noticed. After Num modified and improved the GUI, the first thing I did was to set up a new default.set file.
I have uploaded it to the forum at various times as the new "default" settings file but I suppose many people are still using the old file.

Anyway, just set it how you like it and save the settings over the default so that your own settings just pop up each time you turn on. Saves a lot of grief that way.

You probably already did this yourself.
This is just general advice to anyone who hasn't.
