In darwinbots there are three primary methods of reproduction. Mitoses, Sexual and Mutational.

==[[Sysvars]]:==
{{Reproduction}}

==Sexual==
This way of reproduction is more complicated, and is generally less supported in new updates, making it potentially buggy. The command .sexrepro, takes the dna of the nearest bot and mixes it with a bot's own to create a new bot's dna.

Currently this feature has been disabled in versions past 2.4, due to bugs. Plans are inplace to re-enable it when 2.4 is stable, so as to allow horizontal gene transfer.

 As of 2.43.1, .sexrepro allows sexual reproduction in which a bot is produced that combines DNA from two parent bots.
-Bots can fire -8 [[.shoot|shots]] which act as sperm and carry the [[Robot DNA|DNA]] of the bot that shoots them. When a sperm shot impacts another bot, the bot becomes fertilized. The sysvar [[.fertilized]] counts down the cycles remaining until the bot is no longer fertilized. If the bot gets shot with another sperm shot while fertilized, that DNA replaces the previous DNA and the .fertilization counter gets set to 10 again.

-If a bot sets .sexrepro to a positive value not a multiple of 100 while fertilized, it will sexually reproduce giving the offspring the specified percentage of it's resources. The offspring's DNA will be a mixture of the DNA from each parent, constructed with an internal crossover algorithm.
