Mesmerizing to watch! There was a point where I was sure the predators would win out, but by then there was so much food, the tide shifted back pretty quickly. Even the rock paper scissors game between those three elements if fascinating, but I think you’re starting to do something interesting with the parasites. I do wish they had greater implications for the ecosystem, as the loop is pretty contained. But I like the idea of it being like pac-man getting a power pellet, and the power dynamic flipping. Super cool!
If Run Long enough, sometime the parasite causes a mass extinction, which is why I reduced the parasite reproduction rate. I might add a slider eventually for that. Cause currently it's 50% chance 1 parasite becomes 2 every reproduction.
