We are Hosting Another Official Tournament
Get ready for the second official bibite tournament, a Bibite's Battle Royale! If you missed the first tournament, here is how it went.
The map features a deadly "Red Death" algae bloom that creeps in from the edges, forcing bibites to the center. It's toxic to bibites and consumes pellets. Bibites can detect it by the red pheromones it produces.
The diverse map includes four biomes. Each biome has a limited number of finalist slots proportional to its biomass.
Biomes
The Desert - 3 slots Subscribe here A desolate area sparsely covered with plant and meat pellets, with a few hidden oases sprinkled in. A potential home for scavengers suited for the harsh environment. |
The Swamp - 6 slots Subscribe here Rings of plants surrounding pools of decaying meat, perfect for carnivores and rugged herbivores |
The Grassland - 5 slots Subscribe here Many small plant pellets evenly distributed, ideal for grazers |
The Jungle - 10 slots Subscribe here Rich in large and small plant pellets for herbivores of all shapes and sizes. |

(There was a bug with the red death in 0.6.2 make sure to update to 0.6.2.1 if you use itch.io, done automatically if you use steam)
IMPORTANT! Helpful hints and map information:
Selection Round Free-For-Alls: For each of the four biomes, we will run a selection round free-for-all. The rounds will end once the number of species remaining is equal to the biome slot count. Those surviving species will be finalists and move on to the Battle Royale.
15Ku map size
The Red Death will sit at the periphery of the map but will not encroach
The Main Event: Battle Royale: Finalists (5 individuals per bibite) spawn in their chosen biome. Red Death will slowly advance creating a small central safe zone in 5hrs and finally completely covering the map in 10 hours.. The last species alive wins and is crowned the champion
7.5Ku map size
For All Maps
5 of each contestant species will be spawned as adults at the beginning to initialize the simulations.
The algae bloom produces red pheromones that are most concentrated at the blooms edge and red phero1angle will point to this area of highest concentration. However, red phero1heading will always point in the direction the bloom is heading (to the center of the map)
Herding is turned off for this tournament
Mutations are turned off for the tournament (but not for the shared training maps)
Bibites will NOT be able to release red pheromones
All other settings are default except for biomass and fertility which are biome dependent
