If it requires transactions across actors it is probably safe to say that actors are not appropriate. You can of course use STM with actors without using the deprecated abstractions in akka. You want it to scale across machines, and then STM is not an option anyway. There must be a more scalable way of designing large scale wildlife simulations, but I have no experience of that domain.
