These genetic stimuli should be used for all agents and they provide a nice, standard way to construct agents. The values given in the table below are for the generation-zero response to the stim ... custom genomes or mutations may make the specific gains from a stimulus different.
Some of the stimuli are repeated across different categories of agent, the only difference is the magnitude of the stimulus. With C3 you can specify a stimulus number, and also how many times it will be applied.
The syntax for this depends on the exact STIM command you use, but a common one is listed below:
STIM WRIT <creature> <stim#> <strength>
Where strength is the 'how many times this stim will be applied' value.
For example, in the table below you can see that eating a seed will give 3 times the stimulus of eating a leaf ... this means all the quantities for the chemicals supplied by eating a leaf are trebled.
