  @deft-code said in Market for CPU Bucket: Highly efficient code bases have some of cool-stuff tricks. Since they consume less cores they have a great cool-stuff/core ratio I think ultimately every bot caps out at 300 CPU, any improvements in efficiency in the bot work out to more or less server load based merely on how effectively the 0.2 CPU intent cost maps onto underlying server costs.

  @deft-code Shoutout to https://screeps.com/forum/topic/2646/discussion-more-structures-in-unowned-rooms/1 I definitely feel that more serious investment in unowned rooms would open up a lot of combat options, and make unboosted creeps usable in offense.

  Fantastically difficult to implement as a general solution since you'll need to be sharing DB objects between different servers with different users etc. Possible but a ton of work. Doesn't make that much sense considering you wouldn't have an account on that server, and no GCL/cpu to run it, and even your code wouldn't be there. Can work around all of it but I think shards fill the role a little better than this.

  Technically I think it's local storage rather than cookies, but the effect is the same. It's annoying when a new browser logs you into the tutorial.

  Y'all are thinking too small. We need a list of PWR_* to enable them. We could do that for body parts and boosts as well. </sarcasm> OK. seriously now. I'm not on a shard with Tigga and I've been playing off and long enough that I have reasonable defenses. So I might be biased. But this same thread recurs frequently. New feature X is imbalance because some player could use it to destroy someone who hasn't added code for X yet. But what I see in practice is buggy code, both on the attacker and defender, which means attacks are fairly infrequent (at least on shard0 and 1) and most sieges end when someone finds a corner case your code doesn't handle yet. Imagine when ranged attack parts were introduced and replay the power creep fears. I hear the anti-power complaints, maybe they'll become problem, but they can be nerfed WHEN that happens. Put two mature code bases up against each other in a 100% battle (not an alliance war that is whole other level of mess). Or if power creeps attack become trivially superior and mass extinction results. Now for a concrete example. Tigga destroyed a room with a spawn disrupting power creep. But watch the replay. Tigga didn't win because the defending room couldn't spawn anything. Tigga won because the creep spawning in the room glitched out when one of the spawns stopped working as the code expected.

  Good idea. Instead of zoom I would wish width and height in tiles, so that it's guaranteed that your area of interest is completely visible on every display / window size.

  Hello, the strange German dude, Of course, implementing what you're talking about in Screeps is not an option. This change would decrease the number of tactics and use-cases of spawning and boosting mechanics (the example is, you can spawn 6-9-12 50parts creeps, renew them to have the same ttl using the spawner, then boost with labs), increasing logistics difficulty at the same time. This is exactly opposite to what we're trying to achieve in game design. Regardless of that, I thank you for wording your idea here on the forum. While it can't be directly applied to the game, it still can be the source of inspiration in some other activities.

  The disadvantage of getting rid of the signs is that newbies don't get much idea about who is active in the area and might be interested in that territory. Newbie zones aren't sterile areas, it's quite common for adjacent players to take control of rooms once the walls come down.

  I find the entire even log system as it is right now very unwieldy and nigh-useless. Certainly not what it could be. Also parsing event logs for every room you run is a significant investment of CPU cycles, which pretty much prevents its use for every day tasks.

  It's possible to use the call stack to determine which file you're in. https://github.com/deft-code/typescreeps/blob/master/src/debug.ts#L9 This is very similar to the code I've using now. I use this trick to add a file and line number to my console.log messages. Using this trick you could write an alternative require proof of concept entirely in game code rather than in the engine. You might have use a different separator; I don't know what the api will do with files with / in the name. (the current require implementation ignores leading ./ so might have to work around that also.
