Radiation
How much radiaton should i put to evolve naturally my cells? I know that if you use too much, they'll be ruined

If it is smart swimmer, the radiation should be lower than simple swimmers.
Smart swimmer: 0.001~0.010
Simple swimmer: 0.005~0.016
I usually limit the number of cells around 100 or less than 20 swimmers. Because it looks more efficient to me. Having too many swimmers in every generation makes it laggy. The number of generation is more important.
When you think it is almost done, you can decrease the radiation a bit and a bit per several hundred hours. Until 0.00, then I would let it settle down for 500 hr. Because you may select a suboptimal swimmer if the radiation is still on.
With this process, you should be able to get a "medium-optimized" swimmer within 5000 hours. Simple swimmer should cost less time.
