I continue to delve into the worlds of my "The Clan Wars" project, primarily focusing on the ecosystems the organisms generate. Through my experiments, a recurring observation emerges: these ecosystems tend to stabilize over time, albeit susceptible to disruption by external influences. Maybe changes do occur, but they take a long time.

There's an inherent trend towards reduced diversity within these ecosystems. It's akin to the biological principle where a single species occupies a niche, displacing others. In our model, uniform conditions across the map, coupled with organisms' ability to utilize various energy sources simultaneously, contribute to this dwindling diversity.

To counteract this trend and foster greater diversity, I can introduce multiple zones with distinct conditions, limit the amount of generating cells that a single organism can have, and encourage movement between zones. Maybe I will do it in the next iteration of the model.
