Shouldn't the foxes also have thirst and only eat if they need to? It might be more stable if they have other things to think about than to kill everything in sight

Great video Sebastian! Super interesting use of Unity! - Matt

The foxes should hunt only when they are hungry, the foxes should also need to drink water as well.

In the quest for a perfect simulation the more variables you add, the more you realize there are more variables to add.

I think the foxes kill all of the rabbits, because of balancing issues. The foxes should reproduce slower and take longer before they are hungry, resulting in more rabbits per fox. The foxes also don't have any preditors, so the growth is only controlled by the survival meters. Also can the animals die of old age?

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the great suggestions so far on how to balance the system, and where to take it in the future. Will definitely work on an updated version sometime! Just want to clear up something I inexplicably failed to mention in the video, which is that foxes do have their own hunger/thirst/etc properties, so they’re not just constantly hunting as it appears from the little clip I showed. They do also have longer reproductive cycles, get hungry less quickly than rabbits, and die from old age. The code for this project is a total mess, so I don't really want to release it. However, I'm currently reimplementing and expanding on it for a second part, and you can find the work-in-progress code for that here: https://github.com/SebLague/Ecosystem-2/tree/master If you'd like to support the creation of more programming videos like this, please consider becoming a patron of the channel here: https://www.patreon.com/SebastianLague.

Deploys foxed that can instantly kill a rabbit and never stop eating until everything is dead Ecosystem!
@juicemister
The concept you touch on at 6:16 is interesting, and there’s actually a similar situation in real-world ecology! In the wild, it’s common for prey animals to re-establish from areas called “refuges,”which predators can’t access easily. This usually occurs after predator populations decrease and is partly responsible for boom and bust reproductive cycles like the ones you saw in your simulation. If you want to play with this model more, you might wall off a couple of areas to foxes and see what that does.

So uh.. could you reduce my List of unimpressedFemales? My ForgetRejection Timer seems to have stopped working...
@RenbeOfficial
one reason why the foxes dominate is that there's no rest mechanic. in real life apex predators have to expand markedly more energy to acquire their food and generally run their bodies. this is why lions, for example, spend most of their time resting. they preserve their energy so they can hunt successfully. if the foxes need to rest for a time after a certain amount of kills then the rabbit population would have time to recover. one way to do this organically would be to give the foxes an exhaustion meter and allow them to hunt until said meter has run out, then have them rest for a while to get it back up to a certain point before being able to hunt again. you can create more genes around this mechanic. so some generations of foxes would be able to expend energy more efficiently, lower the threshold required for hunting, or speed up their energy recovery!
