Next set of things to work on

[rynkwn]

• Be able to split off specific members/species off.
• Groups should be able to move at the lowest speed of its members between each turn. (Check if canMove. If can, then move. Otherwise, move on from instruction)
• BigTiles could use weather! Also need decomposition. How should groups interact with their resident tile? Allowed to be claimed by an individual faction/group?
• Groups need to be able to have relationships with other groups.
• Entities -> Need to be able to age and grow!
• Combat and raiding: Groups need to be able to attack each other, and need to be able to take supplies/captives. Entity abilities in combat should be determined by biological traits (for now), and their efficiency should be a function of the acting part/tool.
• Instructions: Need to be able to intelligently split off new groups and give those groups sufficient supplies to get started. How do you colonize?
• Diplomacy: Think about it a bit.

GROWTH:

• Be aware! Size should not keep linearly increasing! It should stop once you're fully grown!
• Scale right now doesn't quite work the way I want. I.e., eating/consumption growth doesn't seem to produce what I want when it comes to aging/growth.

GROWTH:

• Things have been simplified and most things seem to be working roughly as I would want it to. HOWEVER. NOTE THAT CHILDREN SEEM TO EAT AN AWFUL LOT. LIKE CRAZY AMOUNTS. ENOUGH TO STARVE THE ADULTS.

NAME: Shrub CONSUMPTION: Photosynthetic CARBON_NEEDS:

What sort of things do I care about?

• Name

• Whether this entity is capturable/forageable. (If capturable, it produces an entity. Otherwise, produces an item.)

• The associated entity/item.

• What else do I care about? I care about:

• Wild animals foraging/eating among wild populations. (Carnivores. Omnivores. and Herbivores. Also: Photosynthetic)

• Nutritional needs. Roughly what every unit of the animal needs every turn.

• Production (if any). Does this species produce anything for the local environment? E.g., legumes produce nitrates.

• Keep track of resources consumed onBirth, and resources released onDeath.

• How much biomass does this organism represent?

Name Capturable: None or the entity Harvestable: Harvested (Returns item and amount.) Consumption: Carnivorous, Omnivorous, Herbivorous, Autotrophic reproductionRate: 1.1 (Should always be greater than one. Modified by food availability.) lifeCost: Carbon: blah Strength: 10 (Some integer. Roughly representative of how ferociously this creature will fight for life. Things can generally only prey on weaker creatuers.)

Extra things to do: 1) Erosions rates! There's a cap on how much can be effectively stored as "free" resources in a tile. Too much, and it starts to erode down. Too little, and it gradually accumulates.
