Ok thanks everyone for the help, any other thoughts and opinions are still very much welcome.

@deft-code Ok thanks, I think I should focus on getting more rooms then.

So I have another question, are boosts worth it, and if so which ones? They seem quite expensive and they still cost energy and they only affect creeps for a short duration of time.

Yeah, so I did the calculations and I'm spending like a 1000 energy on mining oxygen every 1500 ticks and getting 1800 oxygen which sells at 0.1 per oxygen giving me 180 credits per 1500 ticks. That only buys me about 200 energy if I buy someone's sell order and gets me 760 energy if I make an average buy order. So, I'm losing energy.

It's a lot of math though, so I'm not 100% certain.

Hi, I'm a new player on screeps and I just got my first terminal. I was really excited to start trading the mineral in my room: oxygen, to get some credits which I could use to buy some energy. I thought this would really boost my economy and my base would become more efficient, but it turns out that I don't get much credits for selling oxygen. In fact, energy is worth more than oxygen on the market.

So I have a few questions: Should I be making creeps to mine oxygen for trading or should I spend my resources elsewhere? Is the terminal useful if you don't have valuable resources (complex commodities and deposit commodities)? Is it worth it to buy energy since its so expensive?

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

It says it when you click respawn mate.

@tun9an0 Should have listened to you advice mate. After failing to get much damage on the guy's base he attacked me with like a 100 creeps over 9 hours. I lost.

@deft-code Great idea! I'm going to try this.

@donatzor Thanks mate, I'll do some experimenting and see how it goes.
