Eggs

Eggs are Bibites that have the potential to be born. They are laid by other Bibites and will contain a copy of the genetic material of its parent. When laid they extract energy from its parent and reserve it for growth and survival.

When laid, they slowly develop during the hatching process, which's length depends on the Hatch Time citations needed Gene.

After the time delay has elapsed, the egg will disappear and a young Bibite will have "hatched".

Maturity at birth = (Hatch Time (gene) / Brood Time (gene)) 2

Calculating the exact energy needed by a bibite to lay an egg is complicated, but it is calculated so that the egg can reach its birth maturity (as calculated from the parent's genes) with a full energy reserve and fully develop their brain.

Of course, if the offspring presents mutations, the egg might not contain enough energy for full development anymore. Depending on the lacking amount, the bibite could either not have a full energy reserve, or die during development.

Environmental interactions
There is currently no environmental way to destroy an egg once laid due to its lack of environmental interactions.

Possible solutions to the lack of environmental interactions could include:


 * Ovivorism
 * Being crushed when walked on by a Bibite
