Agents "over-fit" on the number of iterations they grow #63

This is a big problem. A plant usually evolves to a fixed number of iterations. If a plant evolves to 3 iterations, it will probably be terrible at 2 or 4 iterations. This is not how plants grow in reality. Possible solutions:

Rating agents at every iteration they grow
Fluctuating the number of iterations a plant grows for

Will try the second option first, the first one would require a lot of processing power.
