"Thought for too long"?

My creatures are being destroyed and the output says because my creature "thought for too long".  Does anyone know what it means that my creature "thought for too long"?

It means exactly that, your creature is taking too much time to run it's code.  This is most often seen when doing advanced recursive path finding algorithms that take a large amount of time to run.  You have to learn how to split the work of these algorithms over multiple ticks by using level of detail style programming.

Thanks Justin for taking time to explain.  I'll look into "level of detail".
