ATTENTION (Part 2): It is likely that KZfaq has pushed this video to you, and if you're seeing this, I'm glad you're here. A few things to note: - I misuse the terms "Evolution" and "Species." To clarify, there is NO EVOLUTION involved in this project, it is just to simulate behaviors and show the relationships between population and food source - The numbers presented at 8:22 are ridiculously rounded, I, unfortunately, do not have the data anymore (since this was a year ago and I had no clue what I was doing) but, keep that in mind. - The math at 6:00 is wrong please stop correcting me, the correct value is around 9.56% chance of death per attack - I am also aware that the video is 9 minutes, not 10, that is because I was rambling about things for the last two minutes which weren't necessary. - and some more, if you have any concerns related to this video please tell me in the comments. Here is the part two: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5iKmKt4rKvKZqM.html

To better balance the ecosystem. I recommend decreasing the survival rate and the amount of food for predators. Because one meal last. You can have predator share foods aswell if they are pack animals. For the plant eater they will eat the fruit of the tree but not the entire plant. After a period of time the tree will die. And if there are multiple near by it ight die fast and grow fruit slower. Have the animals spread the seeds after eating the fruit. In my theory Your passive hve the poison coat so they dont get eaten. But they dont collect as much of the aggresive ones. If the passive ever get over populated since they share food they are more likely to cluster cause new trees to be born in close proximity of each other making them die faster and produce less fruit causing the passive population eventually to dwindle. The aggressive plant eater are getting plenty of food and reproduce. But they are hunted. The larger their population grow the more there Predator will. Since there aggressive and less likely to fin ina group they will spread the seeds more cause the land to be more fertile. Lastly there is a very small chance that the plant eater to spawn the other type. This should in theory cause a constant changing ecosystem. Because there is no true equilibrium but more nature correcting itself 🤔

The ability for creatures escape death if it encounters a hostile would be a good move. Animals know they can avoid trouble or even escape from predators. Rabbits escape from large cats all the time, death is not certain.

If you want to understand how an ecosystem regulates itself, look at the Wildebeest population of the Serengeti. When the population is too high, there isn't enough food to go around (after their migration) and they essentially starve to death, which means that the next year, there will be more food to go around, essentially allowing for newborns.

@rzguy 2 жыл бұрын

Nice vid, but i don’t think 10 x 1% is 10%. if the predators had a 1% chance of dying 100 times it doesn’t guarantee their death, therefore 1% x 100 ≠ 100%. the same goes for 10 x 1%. it is close though, in decimal form the equation is 1 - 0.99^10 or 9.56%. Great vid though keep it up.

6:00 i think there is a small math error. the chance of dying per baby instead of being (food needed for baby)x(chance of dying) is instead 1-(chance of living ^food needed). altough the chance of living is similar at 10 (90% vs 90.44%) if the food needed was 100 by your calculations the cylinder would die 100% of the time instead of the correct percentage of about 63%. if you think about it it si possible to eat 100 of the cubes and not die with 1% chance of dying from each. Anyways a great video

@DavidStruveDesigns 2 жыл бұрын

The thing I find most fascinating is how nature devised ways to control the population of apex predators. Usually lower level predators are controlled by both defense mechanisms in prey species such as spines, speed, maneuverability etc as well as total number of prey species available. However apex predators have an extra advantage in that they can target both prey and lower level predator species, and here nature adds an extra layer of control - limited or zero tolerance for each other. This usually manifests in being highly territorial which limits how many can be in one area, but this also limits how much prey they can consume since a single apex predator is likely to be vastly outnumbered by prey meaning they'll never consume it all whilst at the same time keeping them far enough apart that their own numbers can never rise too high. If it does they control their own numbers by killing each other in territory disputes. I find it interesting that in almost every discussion about ecosystems and the various levels of population control that exist within nature, this self-controlling aspect of species due to low tolerance of their own kind is never mentioned let alone discussed.

@saopro21 2 жыл бұрын

It's the same for humans. We are the apex predators and the only effective way to control our population (historically speaking) has been through war. You might argue that birth control can do that job too, but it is in all honesty, nowhere near as effective as war is.

really cool video! i find this sort of simulation so interesting bc u can really add lots of parameters that make the simulation look really cool and kinda realistic(i mean, its really cool to watch but should be pretty annoying to work all the math and code for a more complex scenario). Hope u do another one and get more credit for it, ur channel seems underated. i think it would be pretty cool if there were more than one type of tree/bush/fruit and some could give more energy and others may have poison or sth lk that, then some animals could be better at poisonous identification and stuff. anyway, really cool video and great job :)

The probability maths with the predators is wrong, it is not 1% * 10 = 10%. The chance of survival of one attack is 99% which means the chance of survival of 10 attacks is 0.99^10 = 0.904382, which means the chance of death is about 9.56%... Still a really good video tho :) keep creating videos like this!

Such an interesting video! I'm interested as well in creating a ecosystem videogame (not in the short therm, I'm finishing a big game right now) and I'm doing some research, that's why I have found your video. I think that it is quite interesting to program a ecosystem videogame, but I'm worried about the gameplay and how to entertain the player. Looking at population graphs and trying to introduce new species in the ecosystem while avoiding the extintion of others doesn't look very promising for the gameplay. Good luck with your game!
