<Biogenesis Color Mod 1.97 readme>
ATTENTION: Please set your parameters to default (first start),
because the Color Mod isn´t compatible with vanilla default settings,
or even older Color Mod default settings.
I also mostly tested with default settings and these should work fine.
Original program by Joan Queralt Molina (thanks for the great work)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/biogenesis/
Color Mod by MarcoDBAA:
Preliminary notes:
-You need Java to run Biogenesis.
-If you did not play Biogenesis 0.8, you may read the original manual first:
http://biogenesis.sourceforge.net/manual.php.en
-If you do not like all new colors of the Color Mod,
set the respective probability to 0 and these colors will not be a part of the simulation.
-If the simulation lags for you, just reduce the "Initial carbon dioxide" in "Parameters/World"
(if you do that, you may reduce the size of the world too).
-If you set "Time per frame" to "1", the simulation should run faster than default value "2",
but FPS shown will be bugged (always at 1000, also in Biogenesis 0.8), unsure why it is the case.
-If you open a Google Chrome window (or another browser or program?), simulation speed will be
super fast, if the computer core running Biogenesis isn´t working to capacity yet.
Changes:
1. Translations:
-German translation by myself
-Portuguese translation (thanks to Maurício Leonardi)
-Russian translation (thanks to Alexey Loginov)
2. Bug fixes:
-Fixed a bug where organisms disappeared from the world after a collision,
or immediately at birth (if they were very small).
-Fixed a bug, where you couldn´t change the value for the parameter
"Energy lost by dead organisms".
-Fixed a bug, where the statistics window didn´t work in empty worlds.
-Fixed a bug, where mostly very small organisms repeatedly grew and shrunk.
3. New Parameter:
-New default parameter settings
-"Initial complexity": Maximum number of genes of new random organisms.
-"Clade complexity": Number of subclades, that are shown in the Info toolbar (see 12.).
-"Meta mutation ‱": Global mutation rate of the mutation rate (0-10000; 100 ‱ = 1%).
-"Min mutation ‱": Minimal possible mutation rate for an organism (0-10000; 100 ‱ = 1%).
-"Max mutation ‱": Maximal possible mutation rate for an organism (0-10000; 100 ‱ = 1%).
-"Life expectancy": basis life for all organisms.
-"Life expectancy divisor": segments/divisor = added life.
-"Cream released energy proportion": Released energy proportion for CREAM
-"Healing delay": Random, but less effective, if this value is high for MAGENTA.
-"Immune system delay": Random, but less effective, if this value is high for MINT.
-"Jade Healing delay": Random, but less effective, if this value is high for JADE.
-"Lavender Shield": LAVENDER barrier, higher values make it last longer.
-"Indigo divisor": Divides the effective amount of INDIGO, makes it less effective.
-"Dodge cost": Used by passive non consumers with TEAL segments
and C4 plants with no other photosynthetic segments
-"Spike consumer cost": for enhanced SPIKE.
-"Silver consumer cost": for feeding SILVER.
-"Non-plant white cost": Used by WHITE, if the organism is not a plant.
-"Non-plant plague cost": Used by PLAGUE, if the organism is not a plant (or not a virus).
-"Lime effectivity if not alone": LIME photosynthesis if crowded.
-"+ Forest effectivity if not alone": Added FOREST photosynthesis if crowded.
-"+ Photosynthetic effectivity with symbiont": Added photosynthesis, if the organism
touches an organism with ROSE segments, that is neither a plant nor a consumer
4. Mutations:
-Organisms have an individual mutation rate now, adjustable in the Genetic Laboratory
-Possible values are "Min mutation ‱" to "Max mutation ‱"
-If you change these values during a simulation newly born organisms mutation rates
will increase or decrease, if they are below or above these new limits
-if a mutation of the mutation rate happens:
-1/10 chance to be a large change, either decrease the mutation rate between "Min mutation ‱"
and current mutation rate, or increase it between current mutation rate and "Max mutation ‱"
-9/10 chance to be a small change, either decrease the mutation rate by 1 or 2,
or increase it by 1 or 2
-Attention: High mutation rates are ineffective and will also slow down the simulation
-"Better" function to create random organisms, independent from symmetry
-Through mutation organisms can have between 1 and 100 segment genes (was 4-64 total segments)
-Now randomization of symmetry is completely random. Was biased with
respect to similar symmetries, but created much more 1-symmetric organisms,
if the mother was 8-symmetric. For this reason I changed it.
-A gene can be cloned:
-The new gene will be before or after the old gene.
-Chance to have a cloned gene instead of a new gene is 1/8
-Length will be randomized in 50% of all cloned genes
-Rotation will always be randomized
-Branch will be randomized in 20% of all cloned genes.
-If the cloned gene is after the old gene, and wasn´t randomized, it starts,
where the old gene started in 50% of all cases, or else where the old gene ended
-If the cloned gene is before the old gene, and wasn´t randomized, branching is copied
5. New Life expectancy:
-default lifespan
- "+" number of organisms segments divided by life expectancy divisor
- "+" GOLD segments (see below)
6. New genes (Genetic Laboratory):
-"Generation conflict": if "Yes": parent and children attack each other
-"Sibling rivalry": if "Yes": siblings attack each other
-"Selfish mother":
-if "Yes": mother always retains half of the energy (not vs infections), if she reproduces.
-if "No" : mother distributes the energy equally for herself and all children.
-"Altruist": see MAGENTA, MINT, LAVENDER and ROSE color and "Familial" below
-"Familial": if family relations are friendly...
-MAGENTA: heals parents, children and siblings
-MINT: removes infections from parents, children and siblings and restores time to reproduce
-LAVENDER: gives parents, childrens and siblings shield energy
-ROSE: transfers energy to parents, children and siblings
-costs for use of MAGENTA and MINT are shared between helper and helped (no costs for LAVENDER)
-"Peaceful": Peaceful organisms with ROSE segments don´t attack each other
-"Social": Social organisms with ROSE segments of the same length and theta don´t attack each other
(exception: plants and consumers attack organisms, that are neither, and the reverse is true)
-"Passive": see TEAL color
-"Clockwise": see SPRING color
-"Activity": see SUMMER color
-"Mod Black": see BLACK color
-"Mod Pink": see PINK color
-"Mod Cream": see CREAM color
-"Mod Lilac": see LILAC color
-"Mod Plague": see PLAGUE color
-"Mod Fallow": see FALLOW color
-"Mod Sky": see SKY color
-"Mod Spore": see SPORE color
-"Fine-tune Spore": see SPORE color
7. Reaction genes (Genetic Laboratory):
All segments can react on colors by touching,
but ONLY if an organism has "TEAL" segments (or with the EYE segment, if it has "CYAN" segments)
-"0" = Ignores (no reaction)
-"1"= Organism stands still
-"2"= Direction of movement: end to starting point of its touching segment (mostly flees)
-"3"= Direction of movement: end point of touching segment to starting point of its first segment (flees)
-"4" = Direction of movement: starting to end point of its touching segment (mostly attacks)
-"5" = Direction of movement: center of this organism to center of the other organism (attacks)
-Notes: Special reactions to...
-GREEN: Used for all photosynthetic segments except BARK
-SILVER: Only SILVER consumer (else default reactions are in use, see below)
-SPIKE: Only sharp point of SPIKE uses SPIKE
else (SPIKE line): GREEN for plants, (default)-CONSUMER for enhanced SPIKE and BLUE for the rest
-WHITE: Only White plants without plague segments (and BROKEN color)
-VIRUS: Only WHITE non plants and non consumers without plague, frozen or auburn segments
-PLAGUE: Used for WHITE and PLAGUE plants, as long as the organism has PLAGUE segments
-(default)-VIRUS: Used for all other WHITE and PLAGUE organisms (mostly small plague viruses)
-MINT: Used for MINT and LAVENDER
-MAGENTA: Used for MAGENTA and ROSE
-DEFAULT: All other colors for organims that are not plants or consumers
-(default)-CONSUMER: All other colors for organisms that are consumers
-(default)-PLANT: All other colors for organisms that are plants but not consumers
-FROZEN: used for FROZEN and DEADBARK color
-BEIGE: Used for BEIGE and DARKFIRE color
-Sick organisms (BEIGE, DARKFIRE, WILTED, NAVY, FROZEN, DEADBARK, BROKEN, DARKOLIVE, non point SPIKE)
don´t use normal reactions on colors, but SICK (last column) against all colors.
-If an organism encounters a friendly family member or another social
organism with ROSE segments, it will use FRIEND on all colors.
8. Branching (Genetic Laboratory):
-Segments can branch out now (like in trees).
-A gene can only branch at a position before or at its normal place,
so if you set Branch > Gene, you cannot place the organism into the world.
-If branch = -1, there is no branch.
9. Segment effectivity changes:
-Photosynthesis is now more effective for Organisms with lower symmetries and number of genes.
-Exact formula:
-for most organisms:
(1.1758 + (3.60 / (number of genes + 2)) + (3.74 / symmetry)) * segment length
-1-symmetric organisms (better for organisms with less than 4 genes, worse if it has 4 or more):
(1.1758 + (2.40 / (number of genes)) - (0.025 * (number of genes - 1)) + 3.75) * segment length
-Effectivity of consuming segments and LILAC and SPIKE uses roots now.
-Exact formula: sqrt(segment_length)
-Notes: Large consuming segments are less and less effective per length.
Of course they are still more effective than smaller segments.
Default value for "Obtained energy":
2.0 instead of 0.5 because of this change
10. The program now knows, how to classify organisms:
-if it has RED, FIRE, ORANGE, MAROON, PINK (Mod Pink: yes) or CREAM segments, it is a consumer
-if it has unmodified PINK segments, it is a fungus
-if it has photosynthetic segments, it is a plant
-if it has LILAC, SPIKE or GRAY segments, it is a killer
-enhanced: has DARK GRAY segments
-Mirrored 3-symmetric organisms are often treated like 2-symmetric ones for the total amount of color
length (handicap to help bilateral organisms, which are more common in nature and look better)
-Unmirrored 3-symmetric organisms are often treated as if they have a symmetry of 2.5 for the total
amount of color length (half of the handicap)
11. 45 colors (38 new ones) and altered the function of some of the old colors:
-"enhanced" = has DARKGRAY segments
-effectivity for photosynthetic segments and DARK GRAY (because used for enhanced FOREST)
-costs for the rest
-DARKGRAY (Enhancement):
-enhances other segments (see "enhanced" for other colors)
-DARKGRAY effectivity is used for FOREST enhancement
-GREEN (standard Photosynthesis):
-no changes
-FOREST (Colony photosynthesis): [also used on friends]
-if an organism with FOREST segments touches another plant, photosynthesis effectivity is improved:
-added FOREST photosynthesis = "x" * "+ Forest effectivity if not alone" * "Forest effectivity":
-normal segment touches normal segment: "x" = 0.28
-normal segment touches BARK segment: "x" = 0.28
-normal segment touches photosynthetic segment: "x" = 0.38
-normal segment touches FOREST segment: "x" = 0.48
-BARK segment touches BARK segment: "x" = 0.38
-BARK segment touches photosynthetic segment: "x" = 0.48
-BARK segment touches FOREST segment: "x" = 0.58
-photosynthetic segment touches photosynthetic segment: "x" = 0.78
-photosynthetic segment touches FOREST segment: "x" = 0.88
-FOREST segment touches FOREST segment: "x" = 0.98
-if it is the first touch with another plant in a frame "x" = 0.03 is added to the total
-DARKGRAY segment of a consumer touches non enhanced organism: 0.5 * "DARKGRAY" * "FOREST" effectivity
-DARKGRAY segment of a killer touches non enhanced organism: 0.5 * "DARKGRAY" * "FOREST" effectivity
-DARKGRAY segment of all other plants touches non enhanced organism: "DARKGRAY" * "FOREST" effectivity
-DARKGRAY segment touches enhanced organism: no extra photosynthesis
-Notes:
-WINTER, DARKJADE, DARKGREEN and ROSE used like BARK (and OLDBARK)
-FOREST added photosynthesis depends on the basis FOREST photosynthesis effectivity now,
because of very useful performance improvements, which make the simulation run faster.
Therefore you need to have a very high value for "+ Forest effectivity if not alone",
if your value for "Forest effectivity" is low.
-SPRING (Photosynthesis and Rotation):
-"Clockwise"=Yes: Organism rotates clockwise
-"Clockwise"=No: Organism rotates counter-clockwise
-SUMMER (Photosynthesis and seasons):
-"Activity" "0-2" active for 2 seasons (time units) and inactive (no photosynthesis) for one season
-Inactivity is true in different seasons for each of them and the segment turns into color WINTER
-WINTER does not photosynthesize
-LIME (Solo photosynthesis):
-If alone (more effective): Photosynthesis = "Lime effectivity"
-If crowded (less effective): Photosynthesis = "Lime effectivity if not alone" * "Lime effectivity"
-LIME crowded photosynthesis depends on the basis LIME photosynthesis effectivity now,
because of very useful performance improvements, which make the simulation run faster.
-You can actually make LIME more effective if crowded,
if you set "Lime effectivity if not alone" > "1.0", but FOREST already does this...
-LEAF (Undisturbed photosynthesis):
-Only photosynthesizes, if the organism is not shown in color
-It will also be shown in DARKGREEN (also no photosynthesis) thereafter,
if it was shown in an "getting attacked color" before
-C4PLANT (small segment photosynthesis):
-Comparably more effective, if the segment is smaller, and less effective, if it is larger
-Exact formula = C4PLANT effectivity * (10 + segment length)
-Reworked old C4PLANT, because it was able to diminish CO2 levels,
and that made it the only effective photosynthetic color, killing plant color diversity
-If the organism has only C4PLANT photosynthetic segments:
-It can dodge like passive TEAL
-Formula: C4PLANT effectivity * (11 + segment length), if it can dodge
-No dodging or bonus effectivity, if it has BLACK, BLUE, OCHRE, OLIVE or FALLOW segments however
-enhanced: immune vs WHITE plants
-JADE (Small organism photosynthesis and anti viral abilities)
-if viral organisms attack, JADE will turn into DARKJADE, then DARKGREEN
-and other photosynthetic segments except BARK will directly turn into DARKGREEN,
if the organism has jade segments
-DARKGREEN can get infected, JADE and DARKJADE can not
-DARKJADE is photosynthetically active, DARKGREEN is not
-if VIOLET or modified SKY attacks, JADE turns into DARKJADE, then DARKGREEN
-if GRAY attacks, JADE turns into DARKJADE, then DARKGREEN, if the organism has MAGENTA segments
-DARKGREEN can get poisoned by VIOLET, and frozen by SKY (if the organism has no MAGENTA segments)
-DARKJADE and DARKGREEN regenerate, faster for organisms with low symmetry
-plants with JADE that are not consumers force infections to use parent reproduction energy
instead of virus reproduction energy, if the latter is higher (good for small plants)
-if the organism has MINT segments, an attack by PLAGUE (or WHITE with PLAGUE) segments on photosynthetic
segments except BARK will get the other organisms WHITE, PLAGUE and CORAL segments destroyed
-JADE segments make photosynthetic segments immune vs FALLOW
-GRASS (difficult to consume and photosynthesis)
-consumer only feed from it with halfed efficiency (shown in wilted color instead of yellow)
-SPIKE and LILAC energy drain is also halved
-BARK (Photosynthesis and Protection):
-if another organism touches the BARK segment aggressively, BARK lignifies (= OLDBARK)
-lignified OLDBARK protects the organism, but photosynthesis is disabled
-enhanced:
-BARK organism will show in Color=BROKEN
-attacker can only absorb from OLDBARK, if the OLDBARK organism is already shown in color,
so it might have to wait one frame to absorb for 0.01 * "normal" segment effectivity
-RED (Carnivore):
-feeds on other consumers except CREAM
-feeds on SILVER, if SILVER is a consumer (see SILVER)
-feeds on SPIKE, if the other organism is enhanced
-enhanced (0.25 * normal energy absorbing effectivity):

-feeds on LILAC, SPIKEPOINT, GRAY, if the other organism is a consumer
-invulnerable against LILAC, SPIKEPOINT, GRAY and enhanced OCHRE
-normal energy absorbing effectivity vs enhanced GRAY
-FIRE (Generalist): [Notes: between Carnivore and Omnivore]
-segment energy absorbing effectivity:
-"normal" against organisms, that are consumers (shown Color=FIRE)
-also "normal" against BEIGE segments
-also "normal" against frozen plants, if it has SKY segments
-also "normal" against modified PINK with GRAY segments
-(0.25 * "normal") against MAROON, PINK, CREAM, not enhanced SPIKE,
and the rest (shown Color=DARKFIRE)
-regenerates poisoned segment (turns DARKFIRE) vs VIOLET consumers
-enhanced:
-now feeds on BROWN, WILTED, version 4 spores and more effective vs plant and infectious FALLOW
-but cannot regenerate vs VIOLET consumers anymore
-but cannot attack unmodified SKY anymore
-ORANGE (Omnivore):
-feeds on most segments except RED, MAROON, non plant WHITE (virus) and most protected segments
-absorbing effectivity is 0.5 * "normal" vs CORAL non consumers
-enhanced: feeds on FROZEN, DEADBARK and more effective vs plant and infectious FALLOW
-MAROON (Herbivore):
-feeds on all photosynthetic segments
-feeds on protected segments of plants
-feeds on WHITE segments of plants
-only 0.2 * maintenance costs
-energy drain for enhanced BLUE and OCHRE vs MAROON is halfed
-MAROON with MAGENTA is immune for one frame vs VIOLET and GRAY, if not shown in color
-enhanced:
-feeds on many more defenseless segments, SPIKEPOINT and WILTED (shown color=AUBURN)
-C4 dodging is only active against MAROON, if the C4 organism is not shown in color

-enhanced: feeds on BARK with 0.25 * effectivity (but normal vs BARK with BLOND segments)
-PINK with GRAY can´t feed on BROWN
-with FALLOW segments: absorbs a still birth created by "Mod Fallow"=3 completely in one attack
-CREAM (Parasite):

-SILVER (Experience):
-if the organism has more total infections than the other organism:
-it infects nearly all other segments, including protected ones that WHITE does not infect
-it needs to have WHITE (or CORAL) segments to get at least one infection
-uses normal SILVER costs
-shown Color=SILVER, if it infects
-if it has more than 0 total kills (and is a consumer or a killer) or is enhanced:
-segment energy absorbing effectivity formula:
((12+total kills)/(12+other organisms total kills))*segment length
-feeds on SPIKEPOINT if it has more total kills
-if a non-consuming killer (also PLAGUE without WHITE) kills, it becomes a consumer
-uses SILVER consumer costs
-shown Color=GOLD, if it consumes
-extra childs for more total children, if it is a consumer or virus:
>=0 total children = 1 child
>=1 total children = 2 childs
>=9 total children = 3 childs
>=36 total children = 4 childs
>=100 total children = 5 childs
>=225 total children = 6 childs
>=441 total children = 7 childs
>=784 total children = 8 childs

>=5 total children = 4 childs
>=9 total children = 5 childs
>=14 total children = 6 childs
>=20 total children = 7 childs

-SPIKEPOINT cannot be hurt by most segments
-SPIKE line does not drain any segments
-SPIKE line has no defense for all SPIKE plants and enhanced SPIKE

-attacks (forces shield) of modified SKY and of all other SKY plants
-non-plant/consumer viruses kill CORAL
-organisms with MAGENTA will survive once against GRAY but all MAGENTA segments change into DARKFIRE
-an attacked VIOLET segment of a consumer with MAGENTA will change into DARKFIRE too
-consumers with MAGENTA and GRAY (or if VIOLET is touched) will not survive once

-kills plant and infectious FALLOW, BARK (if GRAY isn´t a consumer) and JADE with MAGENTA
-VIOLET (Poison):
-poisons other segments and makes them useless
-segment it touches changes color to WILTED, if the other organism is a plant, otherwise BEIGE
-Non consumers are immune vs WHITE plant infections (not immune vs other viruses)

-freezes (disables) all movement segments (shown Color=SKY)
-does this by touching an arbitrary segment except BLUE, CORAL, FALLOW, SPIKEPOINT and OLIVE
-these disabled segments colors are FROZEN or DEADBARK (if it was BARK)

-other organisms children will be born dead (but infections will be alive)
-other organisms will have alive children again after reproducing "(FALLOW segment length/2)+1" times
(non consumers will create a normal child after one failed reproduction attempt)
-stillbirths apparent age will be shown as double the maximum age (so that you can differentiate it)
-stillbirths do not work vs organisms with FLOWER segments
-with WHITE segments: -inhibition is "normal delay" and one stillbirth only for all victims
-"Mod Fallow"=4:
-0.2 * segment maintenance for FALLOW
-inhibition is "normal delay + (5 * segment length)"
-destroys all YELLOW, BLOND, AUBURN, INDIGO and SPORE (only "Mod Spore" 1-6) segments
-if the other organism has MINT segments, only touching one segment directly will get it destroyed
-with WHITE segments: -normal segment maintenance and normal absorption efficiency vs FALLOW
-enhanced (if the other organism has no LAVENDER segments), or non plants without WHITE segments
also inhibit RED, CREAM and SPIKEPOINT reproduction
-non plant FALLOW has always 0.01 * segment maintenance
-non plant FALLOW always attacks unmodified PINK, but reproductive segments are never destroyed
-FALLOW consumers (but enhanced do) only inhibit organisms with FALLOW segments of the same
"Mod Fallow" version, that are infectious (this is a buff, because they don´t hurt each other)
-SPORE (create different spores):
-Organisms create spores, that are completely in one color and only grow to the second growth stage
-SPORE blocks infections in general for "Mod Spore" 1-2 and also 7-12
-SPORE 1-3, and 4-6 for organisms with BLOND segments receive energy: "spore segment length/symmetry"
-SPORE 4-6 receive energy: "normal reproduce energy * 0.025 * spore segment length/symmetry"
-SPORE 7-12 receive the normal energy, SPORE production depends on the SPORE organism, not the parent
-Only 0.01 * segment maintenance for SPORE
-SPORE 1-6:
-If infected, it will only create a virus in 3 of 14-18 (or 36 for plants) reproduction attempts:
-3/14 for 1-symmetric consumers
-3/15 for 2/3-symmetric consumers
-3/16 for 4/5-symmetric consumers
-3/17 for 6/7-symmetric consumers
-3/18 for 8-symmetric consumers
-3/18 for plants, that are not consumers, only at the first reproduction attempt
-3/36 for plants, that are not consumers, at the second to last reproduction attempt
-3/36 for plants, that are not consumers, if infected at the SPORE segment
-Else it will create a spore in all cases, never a non-spore child
-Organisms will not remove the infection (but SPORE 1-2 will remove the infection),
if the virus was not created, and this will repeat at the next reproduction attempt
-If forced by PLAGUE with WHITE segments:
-creates a virus in 3 of "4-8" reproduction attempts, if a consumer
-else creates a virus in 3 of 120 reproduction attempts for an infection virus symmetry of 2
-else creates a virus in 3 of "(360/infection virus symmetry)" reproduction attempts
-PLAGUE without WHITE and YELLOW viruses (see WHITE) will force a virus in all reproduction attempts
-LAVENDER shield, if applicable, will start with 200 energy (full for non-consumers and non-plants)
-reproduction delay for non-consumers and non-plants is maximized at birth
-SPORE 1-2 reproduce early like BLOND, early reproduction energy is "40 + 1 * segments"
-Mod spore:
-1:
-Spore moves around until finding a plant, then integrates itself, "feeds" and infects the plant
-Energy the infected virus receives at birth depends on the starting energy of the spore
-infects DEEPSKY, BARK, OLDBARK, all OLIVE, OCHRE and SPIKE, but the virus will get less energy
-does not infect BLUE, VIOLET, CORAL, MINT, SPIKEPOINT or consuming segments
-integrates into INDIGO (if INDIGO is a plant), but does not infect (only feeds INDIGO)
-other organisms delay to reproduce is normally set to 0, but 20, if it has MINT segments
-organisms, that also can feed on WHITE non-consumers and non-plants can feed on it
-never hatches
-enhanced photosynthetic segments of non-consumers and non-killers cannot be infected
-2:
-Spore is a fruit, that needs to be eaten to infect other organisms.
-Energy the infected virus receives at birth depends on the starting energy of the spore
-infects unmodified PINK (without MINT segments) and CREAM, but the virus will get less energy
-PINK with BLOND segments (even with MINT segments) is treated like normal consumers
-consumer spores do not infect CREAM
-ORANGE absorption efficiency vs non-consumer fruits is only 0.1
-FIRE absorption efficiency is always 0.1
-never hatches and no aging
-3:
-Seed spore, that will hatch after "104 - "length of spore segments/symmetry" frames
-Plant spores (including spores by non-consumers) are eaten by MAROON (spore color = BARK)
-Only 0.5 * absorption efficiency for MAROON against spores of non-consumers
-Only 0.25 * absorption efficiency for FIRE against consumer spores
-MAROON already feeds on BARK spores (not only OLDBARK) of consumers
-Non-Plant consumer spores are eaten by all other consumers (spore color = VISION)
-If "Disperse children"=Yes:
-the seeds starting speed is *2.0 for moving organisms
-the seeds starting speed is *2.5 for stationary organisms
-No maintenance
-4:
-Egg spore, that will hatch after "115/116 - "length of spore segments/symmetry" frames
-Non consumers hatch after "104 - "length of spore segments/symmetry" frames
-They are eaten by PINK and enhanced FIRE
-If the egg is attacked, eggs of consumers break and cannot hatch anymore
-spore color is really BROWN, but will be shown in SPORE
-No maintenance
-5:
-CREAM larva spores, that move around slowly, and hatches at 1/2 reproduction energy
-enhancement for CREAM is off, but:
-"Mod Cream"=1: feeds on BROWN (including spore 4)
-"Mod Cream"=2: feeds on WHITE viruses and SPORE 1
-"Mod Cream"=3: feeds on OLDBARK
-will not be infected feeding on SPORE 2
-6:
-photosynthetic Spore hatches at 1/2 reproduction energy
-specific spore color abilities are not in effect, except if stated otherwise
-JADE ability is always off for all consumers, and always on for other non-plants,
and on for plants if they have JADE segments, but it cannot regenerate
-Moving consumers without plant segments: photosynthesis = 6.5 * mass (spore color = SPRING)
-Not moving consumers without plant segments: photosynthesis = 7 * mass (spore color = C4)
-Moving or BLOND consumers with plant segments: photosynthesis = 7.5 * mass (spore color = SUMMER)
-Not moving consumers with plant segments: photosynthesis = 8 * mass (spore color = LEAF)
-Plants with BLOND, FALLOW or killer segments: photosynthesis = 15 * mass (spore color = LIME)
-Non-plants and Non-consumers: photosynthesis = 19 * mass (spore color = GREEN)
-Enhanced plants: photosynthesis = 19 * mass (spore color = GRASS, and GRASS is in effect)
-FOREST plants: photosynthesis = 19 * mass (spore color = FOREST, used passively in the colony)
-JADE plants: = 19 * mass (spore color = JADE, see above)

-enhanced:
-infect all NAVY, and non killers also VIOLET, OLIVE, DEEPSKY, CREAM and SPIKEPOINT segments
-non plants/consumers infect FALLOW
-if the other organism has MINT segments, enhanced infection will not work (except vs SPIKEPOINT)
-if an organism is not a consumer or plant (real VIRUS):

it is forced to reproduce as many viruses at once as the virus would reproduce with YELLOW
-only 0.1 * absorption efficiency vs non plant/consumer YELLOW for ORANGE, FIRE and enhanced SPIKE
-if it has INDIGO segments:
-INDIGO fake target is in effect (see INDIGO),
also in effect for own SILVER and PLAGUE color and vs enemy CORAL

-immune vs non enhanced GRAY (use MAGENTA energy consumption)
-if it has BLOND segments:
-immediately reproduces (if it has enough energy), when born, and creates a virus cluster
-LAVENDER shield, if applicable, will start with 0 energy
-can not infect CORAL
-if it has VIOLET segments:
-VIOLET and WHITE of viruses is not attacked (except if it has CORAL segments)
-Photosynthetic segments are not poisoned (not in the interest of the virus)
-PLAGUE (force virus reproduction of infected organisms):
-other organism must reproduce a virus (no normal children), if it was infected before by this organism
-cannot force BLUE, SKY, OLIVE (can DARKOLIVE), RED, CREAM, SPIKEPOINT, MINT, LAVENDER and CORAL
-cannot force SPORE versions 7-12
-forces SILVER if it has as much or more total infections, or if SILVER is enhanced
-PLAGUE plants use PLAGUE costs
-Other plague viruses use "Non-plant plague cost"
-"Mod Plague"=Yes: only forces the reproduction of consumers
-enhanced: forces RED and CREAM (not if these have LAVENDER segments)
-"Mod Plague"=No: only forces the reproduction of plants
-enhanced: forces OLIVE, SKY and FALLOW (not if these have LAVENDER segments)
-PLAGUE without WHITE segments:
-other organism must reproduce ANY virus (no normal children), if it was infected by any organism
-only 0.1 * absorption efficiency vs PLAGUE for all consuming segments except consuming SILVER
-when a virus is forced, YELLOW does not reduce the energy of the new virus,
except if the other organism has MINT segments
-"Mod Plague"=No also forces the reproduction of consumers ("Mod plague"=Yes unchanged)
-forces RED, CREAM, OLIVE, SKY and FALLOW (not if these have LAVENDER segments)
-Always use "Non-plant plague cost"
-PLAGUE non consumers (and without CORAL segments) can force their own infection out,
which immediately dies, if they were infected at the PLAGUE segment before (virus energy is 2)
-enhanced: victims lavender shield energy is depleted faster for 1110 shield energy per frame
-CORAL (transforms viruses and particles):
-non plant and non consumers die and are transformed into the coral organism
-if there is no place to transform the other organism just dies
-if the other organism has less than 1.0 energy, it also dies (performance reasons)
-not working vs effect segments and protected segments (and not vs YELLOW, GOLD and DARKGRAY)
-transforms "Mod spore" 1 spores and destroyed spores (except "Mod spore" version 6)
-ROSE and MAGENTA, that do not belong to organisms with WHITE, CORAL or PINK are immune
-if it has GOLD segments, low maintenance = 0.1 for non-plants and non-consumers
-if it has AUBURN segments, lavender shield energy is depleted faster for 1110 shield energy per frame
-CORAL with MAGENTA is immune for one frame vs VIOLET (except against viruses), if not shown in color
-enhanced: -also transforms unmodified PINK organisms
-MINT (Immune system): [also used on friends, then only altruistic]
-removes infections (also see "Immune system delay")
-faster if the organism has more and longer MINT segments
-if it touches an organism, that infected it before, the infection is recognized and removed
-removes other organisms infection, if its MINT segments touch another
organism it hasn´t infected itself and both are altruists (or familial) (shown Color=CYAN)
-removes the malus to be forced to create stillborn childs, caused by "Mod Fallow"=3
-does the same for other organisms, if both are altruists (or familial) (shown Color=CYAN)
-Altruist organisms don´t attack/kill/poison MINT segments
-destroys all WHITE, PLAGUE, CORAL, FALLOW and FRUIT segments for 1/10 MINT costs each,
if it touches another organism (except if it touches a MINT or BLUE segment),
if the other organism has WHITE, PLAGUE, CORAL or FRUIT segments
-if the other organism is a plant or "Mod Fallow"=4 it destroys all FALLOW segments,
else only the FALLOW it touches
-if an organism with MINT segments was forced to reproduce by PLAGUE with WHITE segments,
the other organism will also gets these colors except FALLOW destroyed
-the same vs CORAL, but even if CORAL only touches and could attack in general
-destroy the CREAM segment it touches
-destroys a YELLOW segment it touches, if the other organism is infectious and not a plant or consumer
-destroyed segments are BROKEN (plants) or BEIGE (non plants)
-if the organism has MINT segments: being enhanced does nothing for other organisms WHITE,
except vs NAVY and SPIKEPOINT
-enhanced: always destroys all FALLOW segments
-LAVENDER (Immunity shield and recognition): [also used on friends, then only altruistic]
-Shield vs CREAM, PLAGUE, CORAL, FALLOW and enhanced OCHRE (see Lavender shield) for all of its segments
-If these colors attack all other segments of this organism,
shield energy is slowly depleted for 185 shield energy per frame (shown Color=NAVY)
-if shield energy is 0, attacks will take effect
-If these colors (and WHITE, but not OCHRE) attack LAVENDER (shown Color=LAVENDER),
shield energy is slowly restored (+200 normally, and +20 vs WHITE) and attacks have no effect,
but cost them life energy (0.2 normally, and 0.02 for WHITE) (shown Color=DEADBARK)
-if WHITE has PLAGUE or FALLOW segments, it is also 200 shield for 0.2 life
-LAVENDER costs are used to divide lost life energy for the other organisms (0.2/"LAVENDER costs")
-if WHITE touches, the infection will be removed immediately
-if PLAGUE touches, and PLAGUE is the infector of this organism, the infection will also be removed
-Shield energy is restored, formula = "(10 * total LAVENDER segment length)/symmetry"
-if both organisms are altruists or familial, it gives the other organism shield energy (restore rate),
if own shield energy is maxed, even if the other organism has no LAVENDER segments (shown Color=CYAN)
-but does never give shield energy to WHITE, PLAGUE, CORAL, CREAM, FALLOW, and FRUIT segments
-restores the time to reproduce to normal maximum delay faster,
if it is higher because of FALLOW, formula = "(total LAVENDER segment length)/2"
-does the same for other organisms, if both are altruists (or familial) (shown Color=CYAN), and own
delay to reproduce is not over maximized (not for WHITE, PLAGUE, CORAL, CREAM, FALLOW, and FRUIT)
-Altruist organisms don´t attack/infect/kill/poison LAVENDER segments
-low maintenance = 0.25 for plants and consumers (but not unmodified PINK)
-low maintenance = 0.05 for everyone else
-enhanced: -shield energy for other organisms life energy = 1000 shield for 1.0 life in all cases
-if the organism has MINT and LAVENDER segments:
-The shield slowly depletes (shown Color=NAVY), when the organism can reproduce and is also infected.
-costs are 1/10 MINT costs
-Reproduction is stopped until the infection is removed or the shield energy is 0
-MAGENTA (Healing): [also used on friends]
-heals own segments (= restores color), see "Healing delay"
-faster if the organism has more and longer MAGENTA segments
-doesn´t work with lignified BARK or DEADBARK
-heals other organisms, if both are altruists (or familial)
-heals "Mod Spore" version 7-12
-Altruist organisms don´t attack/infect/kill/poison MAGENTA segments
-uses MAGENTA costs to protect itself vs FALLOW, GRAY and SKY
-ROSE (Friendly energy transfer): [only used on friends]
-segment energy transfer effectivity = 2 * "Obtained energy" for family and friends (shown Color=CYAN)
-segment energy transfer effectivity = 0.5 * "Obtained energy" for altruistic encounters
-Altruist organisms don´t attack/infect/kill/poison ROSE segments
-Energy is only transfered, if both organisms don´t attack each other and...
-both organisms are altruists,
or both organisms are related (parent, child, sibling) and "familial", or the other organism is
neither a plant nor a consumer, not altruistic and this organism is "peaceful" (= abuse)
-the organism is fully grown
-the organism has more energy (+ 2 extra energy) than the other organism for family and friends
-and additionally needs to have more than half of its reproduce energy
and the other organism less than half of its reproduce energy in altruistic encounters
-Organisms with ROSE segments, that are neither plants nor consumers improve photosynthesis for plants
-"+ Photosynthetic effectivity with symbiont * (ROSE segment length+9)" for normal photosynthesis
- + 0.25 * FOREST photosynthesis (0.375, if the plant has ROSE segments) for FOREST plants
- * 1.5, if the plant has ROSE segments
-only used if symbiont is not shown in color
-use of ROSE shows it in color for 10 frames, therefore used once in 10 frames (helps performance)
-reproduction delay for symbionts is maximized at birth, if the symbiont has a BLOND segments
-Low maintenance for most organisms = ROSE costs
-Low maintenance for killer organisms = ROSE costs + 0.25 (default low maintenance is therefore 0.26)
-CYAN (Movement):
-no changes
-TEAL (Movement and Reaction):
-Organism can use reaction genes (see above)
-Reaction is stronger, if teal segments are longer
-allows non consumers (without WHITE, PLAGUE, CORAL, GRAY, SPIKE, LILAC or SKY) to dodge most attacks,
which means that the organism is invulnerable for one frame and vulnerable the next frame
after being touched
-can only dodge with harmless segments without aggressive effects (shown Color=TEAL)
(including MINT and LAVENDER however)
-TEAL speed is 99/100 of CYAN
-"Passive"=No: Organism can move (like CYAN)
-"Passive"=Yes:
-Organism stands still until another organism touches it
-Maintenance costs are very low (0.05*normal)
-Non-plants and non-consumers with WHITE, PLAGUE or CORAL can dodge too
-YELLOW (Reproduction of multiple children):
-one extra child per YELLOW gene (was one child per YELLOW segment)
-+ one child for each total segment length of 23
-formula = children += (yellow gene / symmetry) + (total yellow segment length / 23)
-YELLOW costs are used in an reproduction attempt.
-AUBURN (extra child if infected):
-always at least one own child if infected by another organism
-no bonus child if not infected
-Maintenance costs are very low (0.01*normal)
-AUBURN costs are used in an reproduction attempt.
-INDIGO (reduces the energy a new born virus receives):
-formula = virus reproduction energy/((total indigo segment length/"Indigo divisor") +1)
-if the virus energy is even reduced to < 3 the virus is not born,
the infection is removed and reproduction delay = 20 frames
-also creates a fake target for WHITE, SILVER (only infections), PLAGUE and CORAL (if not a virus)
so that they use "energy (minimum 0.01)/INDIGO costs" and achieve nothing (shown Color=Indigo)
-INDIGO costs have to be >= 1 (don´t want, that WHITE/SILVER/PLAGUE use more energy than normally)
-if the organism has MINT segments, an attack by PLAGUE (or WHITE with PLAGUE) segments on INDIGO
will get the other organisms WHITE, PLAGUE and CORAL segments destroyed
-BLOND (reproduce early):
-reproduction energy is reduced (not shown and normal one is used for viruses in a host)
-not reduced, if the organism is infected
-reduced by "total BLOND segment length + 3 for each BLOND segment"
-minimal reproduction energy is 40 for plants, 21 for consumers, ROSE organisms and SPORE version 7-12
and 14 for viruses
-costs are (BLOND costs * (total BLOND segment length + 3 for each BLOND segment")) for plants
-costs are BLOND costs for everyone else
-costs are also only BLOND costs for plants with FLOWER segments
-costs are only used, when an organism reproduces early successfully (not when infected)
-FLOWER (reproduce late):
-reproduction energy is always increased (also shown and used if it is a virus)
-increased by "total flower segment length"
-low maintenance = FLOWER costs
-if it has no WHITE segments:
-delay to reproduce is 0 frames, if the reproduction attempt was successful
-delay to reproduce is 14 frames, if the reproduction attempt failed
-if energy > 2*reproduction energy - "total flower segment length", delay to reproduce is 0 frames
-does not lose extra energy, if the organisms energy is above reproduction energy
-GOLD (Age):
-Life expectancy = Normal life +((GOLD segments length/symmetry + GOLD segments length/4)/GOLD costs)
-GOLD costs = Gold life expectancy divisor
-Maintenance costs are low (0.1*normal)
-BLACK (Mimic):
-copies the color and reaction genes of other segments
-does not copy photosynthesis colors, except BARK (if it is not a plant it will be OLDBARK directly)
-Maintenance costs are very low (0.01*normal)
-"Mod black"=No: Only changes the segment that touches the other segment
-"Mod black"=Yes: Changes all BLACK segments to the color of the other segment
-EYE:
-These segments do not collide, but the organism can react with TEAL to what it sees (or intersects)
-Organisms with CYAN segments can use the reactions of the eye segment (but only the EYE segment) too
-Other organisms can not react to them, or attack in any way
-They do not change color, even when the organism attacks or when it dies
-Eye segments are 1.5 * longer than normal segments
-They have to be terminal, if they are not terminal they will change into VISION (looks like DARKFIRE)
-If the organism has a VISION segment, its eye segments will be 2 * longer than normal segments
-Organisms without moving segments can still use the EYE for the stop reaction (1/2 slower than normal)
12. Info toolbar:
-Shows the clade of an organism (bottom row)
-All descendents of a randomly created or pasted organism belong to the same starting clade
-If an organism mutates and adds a gene its ID is added with a "+" to the clade
-If an organism mutates and lost a gene its ID is added with a "-" to the clade
-If an organism mutates and the symmetry is higher its ID is added with a ">" to the clade
-If an organism mutates and the symmetry is lower its ID is added with a "<" to the clade
-If an organism was imported by a corridor, other persons user name will be shown before the clade
-You can create a user name in "Network" (maximum of 15 characters)
-The clade string will grow, showing the ID of the first organism at the far left,
followed by all other organisms IDs that added genes,
lost genes or changed symmetry in this organisms line of ancestors
-"Clade complexity" will limit the possible additions to that number.
-If your limit is too high, the clade string will grow to the far right,
and you won´t see new additions anyway.
13. Default delay to reproduce:
-After a reproduction attempt (successful or not) an organism has to wait to try to reproduce again.
-Delay was 20 frames in Biogenesis 0.8, now it is "8 + (6 * number of genes)" frames for all organisms.
-If an organism exceeds 8 center segments (branching), a delay of 3 is added for each exceeding segment.
-Reproduction attempts cost performance, and this helps to reduce some slowdowns.
-Smaller organisms have a slight advantage in crowded settings now (competing for space to reproduce).
14. Third party improvements (Thanks to them):
-Included Tyler Colemans "Feature Mod" (backup button):
-see "Biogenesis Feature Mod README.txt"
-It is possible to create automatic backups.
-STRtrees (by Vivid Solutions) implemented by Richard David Williams
to make the simulation run much faster.
-Added a "Visual guide for the colors", that was originally created by a 4chan user.
I just fixed some mistakes and made a few changes. Should help to get a quick overview.
Use the Biogenesis forum: http://sourceforge.net/projects/biogenesis/forums
to ask questions, make suggestions and report bugs.
I created a new subreddit (cannot use the old r/Biogenesis anymore) for the simulation here:
