I was able to force a crab only gamestate and it was very fun watching them (very slowly) expand. I think its so cool that the candles act as trimmers for the tenonenomes that get out of control and produce meat in the process. the only problem i had in this save was finding an automatic source of bones but im excited to see how you continue to innovate this system!
EDIT: something else i noticed and love is how the crabs tend to slowly migrate around the edges of the board. i love these funky lil guys
