  Thank you for answer. No, It will return only my structure. I found solution. I use room.lookForAtArea(0,0,49,49) for this.

  Yes, this is new (https://twitter.com/ScreepsGame/status/677474190811865089). I haven't heard a dev explanation but I assume this is so new players safely have a chance to grow in the novice area without one or two players taking it over completely.  You either have to respawn outside of the zone and start from scratch to avoid the limitation or wait until the area graduates to a normal zone. I'd suggest you really don't need that many rooms if your confined to a sector. Refine your code to handle creeps moving to remote rooms for the tasks you need.

  TOUGH = 100HP, 10 energy, adds weight MOVE = 100HP, 50 energy, gives move If you see both bodyparts next to each other, you can see what I mean. The 40 energy you save cannot make up for to the (useless) weight it adds. On RCL8, you have 12900 energy available, 25xM,25xA costs 3250 energy. You basically could build nearly 4 of those (missing 100 energy). This gives you 25 Parts of buffer before your ATTACK suffers. Now if you build something which we could say is somehow similar: 15xT,10xM,25xA you pay only 2650 energy. 600 Energy saved, but 300% movement speed lost (and even worse on swamp!!). And you would only be able to build 5 creeps for that (350 energy missing).  If you are defending, this movespeed might perhaps somehow work, but if you are attacking it probably won't. And *if* I defend, I'd rather go 10M,40A instead of the above.

  I think I found the problem. My event system needs to be empty after each tick, so it does not trigger error on deleted objects on the map. Since there is no way to guess what objects would need to be unregistered in the event system following the previous tick. (creeps dead etc...)

  I haven't tested this exact instance but previous encounters suggest if anything is "under" a rampart, as far as damage is concerned that other object doesn't exist. You can stack up several mass ranged or other attacks but simply having a enemy there doesn't stack the damage.

  Was making the wrong assumption. Didn't realize it stopped after having energy elsewhere in the room as long as it exceeded 300. Thanks, I corrected the mistake.

  Their lair will begin spawning a new one when they die, whether through decay or combat. Their combat logic seems to be: move to the nearest source, attack the closest creep. They currently don't seem to move at all after reaching their source.

  Kind of old but I use Spawn.prototype.getCreepName = function(role){ var creepName = role + '_0'; for(i = 0; i < 9999 ; i++) { creepName = role + '_' + i; if(Game.creeps[creepName] === undefined || Game.creeps[creepName] === null) break; } return creepName; }

  It isn't forever, for example novice area at nord west has ~630200 ticks left before self-destruction of that wall from now (from when i'm writing this) (You can see it by joining any room inside a novice area and looking inside the panel with room's name or joining a room with that wall (at borders of the novice area) and clicking into that wall, you can see "Decay in: a_number"). I think nobody can destroy the novice wall. MrFasolo97 Bye

  Some players avoid those resources, others do source keeper mining, even using different tactics. With the recent changes it became almost useless to mine those extra resources. However it's still an interesting task to implement. Can the Source Keepers spawners be destroyed? No.

  You need to find structures which need energy. Something like the code below. structures = creep.room.find(FIND_MY_STRUCTURES, { filter: function (object) { return object.energy < object.energyCapacity;; } }); if (ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE === creep.transferEnergy(structures[0])) { creep.moveTo(structures[0]); }
