Still it doesn't explain why there are many competing colonies of dysons who fight over scarce resources.

Because that's a function of the game :-\ And they're not fighting over resources, they're fighting over territory. The only real discernible resource in the game is territory.

Which one is better? To control entire continent and die from hunger or to live in woods and have something to eat? Food is higher priority than territorry, I think. Nice converstaion by the way ;) Never knew that this could evolve this big

Yes, but Dyson seedlings don't eat :(

That's actually something I raised elsewhere - the lack of any real harvestable resource, as well as the lack of any real game limitations. Provided they have an asteroid, Dyson trees will grow and produce offspring.

And yeah, I'm enjoying this conversation too :)

Finally something we can agree upon. The only form that consumes energy and does something with it is the tree itself, passing some ammount of energy to the offspring.

Yeah, that is true. I proposed an idea somewhere that the resources could be in the cores. Core slowly regenerates its energy, while asteroids without trees could have bigger ammount of energy in their cores and so on. The tree tries to get to that energy with its root.
