Encourage more successful offspring
dustinlacewell opened this issue · comments
How can I tune the configuration so that when there are successful individuals, a higher percentage of the next generation will behave similarly to the best performing ancestors?
It seems like no matter what I do, a good percentage of the offspring are always quite divergent from the most successful from the last generation.
I think you can tune the survivalThreshold option.
On every epoch organisms of each species are sorted by their fitness and only the fittest will be selected for reproduction (survivalThreshold * population size).
So, a smaller threshold should let you get the best performing of each species
hey @dustinlacewell, did my answer help? If so I'd close the issue
