      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      Hello everybody, I am sorry that I haven\'t updated the thread in so long. I have had to put this on the back burner for a bit, because I am doing a lot of things in real life. I also have been on a KSP kick, so I haven\'t played Starmade in a while. I won\'t promise anything, but I might try...

      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      I thought I would mention there is a new version in the testing branch that will allow you to load and save your populations.

      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      I have to go to work pretty soon, but I thought that I might post a couple of replies before I left. I\'d definitely like to thank everybody for all of their positive feedback and constructive criticism. First, mrwhite: It would be nice to have some sort of readout on the estimated value of...

      Power Generation - Cracking the code

      So I ran my squeeze theorem solver to approximate the value of t in the above equation by combining the data that Lix and I have both collected. Here are the results: Best is 1.7030161076417545 Width Height Depth Block Dim Actual Predicted Error Error^2 1 1 1...

      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      Greetings, Here is another reactor design for 5x5x5 that I evolved in 10000 epochs. What\'s bizarre about it? Well, it consists of only 1, 2, and 3-Clusters, yet outperforms the previous 5x5x5 reactor with a score of 9294.6 e/s! Here\'s the layout: X X - X X X - X - X - X - X - X - X - X X X...

      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      On attempt to run the program I get the error: Could not find the main class: com.wheelfun.reactorbreeder.Driver. Program will exit. Weird; I downloaded the binary I uploaded to Sourceforge and it works normally for me; the jar also seems to contain the file that it says it is missing. Is...

      Power Generation - Cracking the code

      Greetings, I thought I would chip in because my work with Reactor Breeder is apropos to this discussion. Lix and I have been PMing each other about this subject and I thought I might my approach, which complements the above work. The first things I noticed when I was working on figuring this...

      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      And this, good gentlemen and ladies, is why science is freaking awesome. That this was the first response makes it absolutely worth it for me to work on something like this. Nature (and biology in particular) is an astounding process; it can be so efficient that this sort of approach is...

      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      Greetings, As many of us know, there are several subtle nuances that go into reactor design. It can be very taxing to scale reactor output with reactor dimensions. What's worse, one minor change results in a significant reduction in power production, making the debugging process a bit of a...
