Where'd the balls go? 

This is probably an extraordinarily stupid question, but: why don't I
see any energy balls in my world display? I've spent a lot of time
hunting for a Parameters setting to spawn more food, but all I've found
is an apparently unmodifiable "Food" population, and the setting for
energy per (nonexistent) ball.

TIA,

Experiment -> Parameters -> Energy -> Automatic feeding

I just now found that... literally minutes before you posted. :-) Thanks!
Until I saw the tooltip on it, I'd thought that setting fed them directly
rather than spawning food.
