I put together some code that's supposed to do what you desire. Here's
the java file:
import sim.engine.*;
import ec.util.*;
import sim.field.grid.*;
public class dele extends SimState
{
public dele(long seed)
{
super(new MersenneTwisterFast(seed), new Schedule(2));
}
public void start()
{
super.start();
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
Steppable parent = new Steppable()
{
public void step(SimState state)
{
System.out.println("PARENT");
}
};
schedule.scheduleRepeating(Schedule.EPOCH,0,parent,1);
}
Steppable reproduction = new Steppable()
{
public void step(SimState state)
{
for(int i=0;i<2;i++)
{
Steppable child = new Steppable()
{
public void step(SimState state)
{
System.out.println("CHILD");
}
};
schedule.scheduleRepeating(schedule.time()+1,0,child,1);
}
}
};
schedule.scheduleRepeating(5, 1, reproduction, 4);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
dele dele = new dele(System.currentTimeMillis());
dele.start();
long steps = 0;
while(steps < 20)
{
if (!dele.schedule.step(dele))
break;
steps = dele.schedule.getSteps();
System.out.println("");
}
dele.finish();
System.exit(0);
}
}
Here's the output:

As you see, the parents and children appear in randomized order, as
expected. I hope you can use this code to see why yours behaves
differently.
