Circle of Life

It always ends up with lots of colonies of photosynthesizing turrets. Typically laser turrets. The photosynthesizing melee turrets didn't last long once food started running thin.

Yeah, balancing out the photosynthesis is an ongoing thing. I've had some ideas I might look into implementing later that could help (e.g. nearby plants dampening each others' ability to photosynthesize) but it will probably come down to tweaking the values of how much food they recover, how long they take to mate, and how long their maximum lifespan is until I hit the right combination.
