MB Sharing
Share commands
A bot can share things with another bot if they are connected through tie. There are DNA commands that allow sharing of energy, slime, shell, and waste.
Share commands Command Effect
- sharenrg - This lets bot share energy. There is no need to address a specific tie reference number. The number stored in here becomes the percentage of total energy that I receive.
- sharewaste - This lets bot share Waste.
- shareshell - This lets bot share shell. Individual bots within multibots are allowed to have twice as much shell as singlebots.
- shareslime - This lets bot share slime. Individual bots within multibots are allowed to have twice as much shell as singlebots.
Example
Suppose there are two bots connected by a tie. First bot has 40 waste (or any other shared material) and the second one has 60. If first bot executes command
- 10 .sharewaste store
Then the total amount of waste (100) will be redistributed so that the first bot receives 10% of that total. The final outcome is that the first bot will have 10 waste and the second bot will have 90 waste. Uses
A useful way to use these with combat bots is shown below.
cond *.multi 1 = start 99 .sharenrg store .sharewaste inc stop
In this gene 99% of the total energy is taken by a bot. This is useful to feed in case a bot accidently becomes a MB while tie feeding.
The code ".sharewaste inc" forces the enemy to take 99% of the attacker's waste. Useful to dump waste without having to shoot it away, also plants will convert this waste to energy allowing the bot to recoup some energy.
