I took the rules from the Game of Life and as you can see it can play out on the global map. Meaning we could have a system of population propagation/control.

 

of course the game should update the celluarlar automata much more slowly so it's realistic.

 

this simulation can run in the background and only when a player is in a square that is alive should we get more indepth .

 

let's not derp ourselves too tightly. for example why not start out simply letting this improve the chances of a random of a encounter if you are in an alive block?

 

 

 

more:

1. crojipjip:
   this could improve fallout 3 and new vegas too btw
2. crojipjip:
   let this determine spawning points and random encounters
3. crojipjip:
   you don't kill what was spawned but you wouldn't spawn unless a red block existed.

Finally:

A game of life can happen inside each cell. this will be the actual entities themselves in that cell. of course it runs as long as the cell is red.

I have added 625 games of lives to run side by side. they often kill each other off so you won't see them all at once.

I believe the animals should actually engage in mating displays, and mating. You could get a perk for perving them, David Attenborough style.

A population simulation that doesn't take geography into an account is mostly suitable for microbiology.

A population simulation which doesn't take into account a scarcity of resources vital for life and a radioactive environment, or that humans are not mer-people who emerge from the seas isn't particularly suitable for anything.

Unless...

 

 

..Unless you designed it from the perspective of a Cthulhoid  Deep One.

 

Then it would make PERFECT SENSE.

 

I think this explains a lot.

Is Prosper a Deep One? If so, that would explain why his models tend to look like aberrations.
