Modifying the effect of the death rate #48

Closed zoey-rw closed 7 months ago

zoey-rw commented 9 months ago

I know the death rate removes a fraction of each organism's biomass per time step, but is there a way to control how the removed biomass is handled? I couldn't find the relevant code.

(I figured it could turn into either an external "biomass" metabolite (which could be the target of extracellular enzymes), or into metabolites that typically in cell walls. A function might look something similar to set_global_periodic_media, but that'd need to pull the locations of each population's "death" as input)
