  Question about the transfer cost - It's stated that it is 3% - what happens when I transfer energy from which the 3% is less than 0.5 units - will this be rounded up or down (making the transfer free) ?

  Please take note that this is the Early Preview stage with the whole purpose of testing things. We can't slow down the development process by delaying features and fixes deployment. But we certainly will make such warning announcements in the release version. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for participating in the Early Preview!

  More info: as soon as I own anything in the room (even a flag), it becomes visible as normal. As soon as I don't own anything in the room, the room map disappears. Other rooms don't behave this way; is this an intended effect in some rooms? If so, is there a Room property that can distinguish this?

  Okay, I guess I'll have to create some kind of priority system to make sure that energy gets delivered to the creeps that need it most, since only one can receive it each tick.

  It also doesn't account for energy in Extensions. That used to be useless without energy in the Spawn, but now you can build new creeps with energy in Extensions only.

  Might be the code, even though they run different memory they still keep running the same code. Same code that makes an error -> seemingly same error in both game modes.

  Nevermind, doing constructionSite.pos.findClosest was returning null, worked with creep.pos.findClosest, still odd, but its working now

  Yesterday, I managed to get back to control level 3 and when I did the roads over swamps immediately had the expected effect on the creep's fatigue. I've since respawned again and the issue has come back up. The roads decay as if they are being used, and the creeps path-finding seems to expect that the road will function but the roads do not provide a benefit before the controller is upgraded to level 3.

  The Game and the Memory objects are two completely separate things. Game gives you the actual objects, while in Memory you as user can store abritrary information. Basically it is a nice gesture from the game to automatically create the memory entry for you when spawning a creep which could as well be a task you have to do on your own...

  I have a similar issue. Destroyed those protective walls in my room and left the room with a creep. Leaving the room worked well, but going back to my room, doesn't work. Left the room, if it was FIND_EXIT_BOTTOM in the code below, but in next room this it moves to the exit, but does not move to the next room. creep.move(TOP); while standing at the exit returns 0, but doesn't do anything. var exit = FIND_EXIT_TOP; creep.moveTo(creep.pos.findClosest(exit)); My room is E5S2 and trying to enter from E5S3.

  Thanks chris, glad to know they respond. I'm not going to take advantage of that this time around. I think I can do a better job starting over and this time I'll be working locally using their API to post code, but just for future reference (and for other's who may run into the same issue), where did you post that rollback request?

  Looks like avoid has been tweaked, it's working 100% reliably now - I noticed since some of my code actually relied on it sometimes failing.

  This has been the case for a long time. I've worked around it by not having my builder move to the construction site if creep.pos.isNearTo return true.

  When I first started, I found a sweet room, that I really wanted, but placing the spawn failed quietly - inspecting the game comms revealed the actual error - this was one of the "closed" rooms - dimmed on the world map. So the error code is actually available, for those who want to know what happened, it's just not displayed in the UI.

  This appears to be broken for me in Simulation Mode.
