Kind of, Trying to evolve autotrophy, but the majority of other species in my patch are my own lineage of super aggressive cells, so in the transition I was yes essentially a sessile heterotroph. The interesting thing about it was that because the other cells were so aggressive/opportunistic/brave I could literally just wait until a cell came along and committed suicide on my spikes which would lead to a chain reaction of every cell swarming to consume their remains and me profiting off of what is basically an infinite food glitch, not really a glitch obviously just the result of my lineage dominating and me switching to a defensive playstyle. I do think this says something about the issue of the player causing annihilation of other species too easilly tho. As under ideal conditions there wouldâve been some unrelated lineages to compete with that didnât share the hyper aggressive traits. This has gone off topic I realize. Main thing is the spike bugged occured once and not again so I have begun saving everytime I enter the editor to avoid it for now.
I recall behaviour is supposed to tie into autoevo, so cells so aggresive they impale themselves would be rather unfit in eyes of autoevo.
This is a bug report thread so please donât start talking about unrelated stuff. Bug report threads is the one place I donât want to see low effort posts that try to continue the discussion, as thatâs against the point of a bug report thread that should be to the point (i.e. the bug reported).
I donât know whatâs so âlow effortâ about my post tho I admitted it was partly off topic I was responding to a direct question by aah31415. Your reply has an air of dismissive anger to it, but I can completelly understand not wanting the topic to veer off and Iâll refrain from continuing to post in this thread unless I have new information about the spiked spawn bug. Still, I joined yesterday, donât think thereâs any need to be harshly critical with me. If youâd like me to delete my second post or this one I will.
Sorry, if I was not clear. I was replying to @aah31415 who has a habit of trying to force discussions to continue by posting really simple replies prompting other people to respond again. You didnât do anything wrong.
I think that kind of replying by aah31415 is especially detrimental in bug report threads where the original reporter may be getting email notifications about the report they submitted, which is fine when they are about actual progress on understanding or solving the bug but where I draw the line is just uselessly trying to keep the âdiscussionâ going in a bug report thread.
