That's small time.

My age limit is 30, but mutations was set to 0 so I could try and produce a stable ecosystem.

i guess mosquitos shouldn't be allowed in this. I thought they died young though.

>>3819144

They normally die young because they have so little energy (due to being small), and so are consumed completely, easily.

kind of a trivial challenge
1) populate world with stupid plants
2) enter the death sticks/razors/gliders

>>3819155
you could also photoshop it...
its for fun. i havent been fucking with the initial conditions. I'm just designing and pasting. and I try to kill its children.

o my god
i just downloaded this.

never saw a good one since darwinbots.

what does it do?

So I can just fill a map up with green algae then put in a kill machine?

>>3819217
If you really want to.
and I bet everyone will respect you too after that.

>>3819169
I can't find it on the screen, but it is still alive according to statistics.

>>3819235
basically I've had the variation in that pic 1000 times, tweaking parameters to almost no effect.

1) Viruses outcompete the green bugs at first in population size and density. The spear killers are aimless, barely alive.
2) Eventually the bugs reach the viruses and destroy their population after a protracted turf war
3) the bug population increase drives up the spear population which begins decimating everything

>>3819247
right now mine is a sea of red lines (that sprouted up by me artificially inserting a bunch of green star plants).

and a couple of "harvester" types that go around and eat the red lines, collecting them in a round red scoop.

did anyone tried this in network?

default settings except for 1 millisecond per frame

>>3819226
i did it

Argument that optimal predators (predators who kills all prey as fast as possible) under the restriction that they are radially symmetrical will die out:

Consider an optimal radially symmetrical predator. This predator will have all of its red segments on the outside, and green and cyan segments on the inside (because an organism with red segments on the inside is not optimal). Now consider a similar organism where the cyan segments are replaced with green segments. This organism cannot be considered a predator because it does not move. At the same time, this organism will feed on the predator at a rate nearly identical to the rate that the predator feeds upon it (because their external structure is the same as far as feeding is concerned). This organism will produce more energy than the predator does because of the extra green segments, and will thus reproduce faster. So, the death rate will be the same as the predator, but it's birth rate will be higher. Because the ecosystem has a limited carrying capacity, eventually the stationary organism will replace the predator.

Yup. Get hamachi, join network /sci/ battles. Password is biology.

>>3819322
cyan is strongly selected against overall, in my experience. I've thought something along those lines for why. Replacing cyan with yellow / green is clearly better in a densely-populated world.

Right now I'm working on constructing a decent self-sustaining predator (gray red cyan green) but I don't think it would hold up against a more specialized organism like those I faced last night

of course, my co2 is massive

wow generation of an organism in the presence of these razors that seems to be increasing its numbers! (top left)

>>3819386
jesus they're spreading like crazy

Why is it that whenever 2 killbots touch each other, the one moving faster will always survive whilst the slower one dies?

It doesn't make sense.

meh only 262 this time, not sure how to improv...

>>3819090
Where to download this badboy

>>3819435
pretty sure it is biogenesis.sourceforge.net

Why doesn't everyone just make blue circles with green and yellow inside.

It's a foolproof strategy.

i wish there was a way to restrict specific combinations of colors.
like no green with gray, or no green with red.

>>3819488
The point of the game is to create diversity.

Obviously you missed the eugenics thread somewhere.

>>3819581
You could always learn to program and do it yourself.

>>3819488
This.
The only way to kill/infect a shielded plant is to plant enough non-shielded plants to starve it.

>>3819488
those die in my world, blue is expensive (because bullshit). It's not a total genocide but they can't compete with other critters.

>>3819434
I made some hardy critters by increasing the cost to use red and green. If they can hack it in a world where everything costs, imagine what happens when that shit is free. (LOL portals)

Still can't figure out a way to outcompete those goddamn gliders from whatever trollol last night. I tried to breed a better straight-razor today. It's succeeded in absolute genocide once already, and is working on a second.

These green plants are so damn useless. Along with the predators they're pretty much the only species left and the predators are eating them at a rate that is faster than they can reproduce. I don't really want to intervene, but I'll probably have to introduce some more species or they'll all go belly up.

>>3819615
interestingly though blue costs as much to "use" as gray, these guys are holding on, even with a weakness

>>3819597
>>3819626
>>3819635

Not sure why you guys aren't doing this.

I taxed everything except green and cyan, and now im getting huge populations swings. dieoffs every few minutes.

>>3819609
Needs more green inside the shield.
Curls the "leaves" inside before making the blue shield.

>>3819700
make one of pic related and see what happens in your world

They can get out competed by mosquitoes and life lacking the blue bits

>>3819806
>>3819806
died before reproducing

Am I the only one who facepalms when my creation has a child and it is all just one colour, apart from green.

this thing kills poison plants easily.

>>3819847

>>3819878
forgot picture

>>3819833
It's shielded with a fair bit of blue, so it can't compete with green-only plants.
It is very resistant to things bigger than mosquitoes, though.

>>3819904
Now when it loses energy every time it takes a hit.

I've had this game running for a while.

>>3819940
I'd like to add that this wasn't a designed creature. The only interference with this game so far has been a couple of network connections and some CO2 push and pull

>>3819957
it was designed...
by god.
