RE: Thorium
I'd be alright if it becomes a deposit. I think that is a good solution

RE: Thorium
It's a cool concept, well thought out, and yet I really don't like it.
Nukes are already really powerful for what they are: they need to be nerfed, not buffed. The whole thing with nukes is that they are absurdly easy to code for, and in a coding game, that should be punished.
Plus adding another mineral would break like 90% of people's base planning and mineral harvesting code. This isn't just potential, and the fact that it decays does little to quell the harm. I'm all for changing the game, but if you're adding new stuff, make sure only zombies (very inactive players) are the ones who get harmed.

RE: Nuking youself for infinite safemodes
It's absolutely an abused tactic. I believe this documents the nuke tactic you were talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6umFUQN4kyY&t=2s. The strategy was a key component in taking a room from the best player in the game, something that almost certainly wouldn't have happened if nukes weren't so helpful in resetting safemode. @o4kapuk would you be willing to comment on what you think about this abuse and if anything will be changed? This tactic really hurts combat and the concept of strategy in the game.

RE: White rectangle (bar) top left of screen
I've also experienced this, I think only with the desktop client.

RE: How to detect TOMBSTONES with minerals
You may want to join the discord server https://discord.gg/screeps and ask for help in the #world-help channel. There people can provide in-depth help easily
Anyways to give you a brief answer, you'll want to use FIND_TOMBSTONES instead of FIND_DROPPED_RESOURCES. Then filter tombstones with store.* values matching what resources you want. https://docs.screeps.com/api/#Room.find

Desktop Fullscreen
While trying to record for a private server, Bot Arena, Screeps Warfare Championship or any other worthwhile desktop-only feature of Screeps there is a black bar above and below the content.
This is because fullscreen is not possible with the desktop client. I think this is considered a technical issue. Please fix / add this feature for people who want to make videos about Screeps outside of MMO and seasonal.

RE: how to use life time?
What shard are you on? Note that shard 3 doesn't allow more than 20 CPU in use there.
