The root post has been updated. Let's perform the second iteration of the discussion!
The primary change is that we split warp containers maintenance cost onto a regular repair (mostly like usual containers except warp containers will survive much much longer) and activation cost. Also, .harvest operations will increase decaying speed so now warp containers should take their place as one of the alternative ways of transferring energy from remotes instead of creating the single best solution.
One suggestion might be to start new 'independent' shards which use a Shard Control Level (SCL) in place of GCL.
So for a while, everyone starts on even terms. My guess is that almost all new players will prefer these which suggests that something like this is a good idea. Old players will still have the advantage of proven code.
@cookies said in Newbie Qs. Log console and access over web?:
You can write a script that subscribes to your console websocket stream to log everything.

Thanks, I might look into writing a C++ API later. At the moment I just need it for debugging - e.g. errors that zoom off the screeps-console before you can see them.
I got the multimeter logger working although it feels a bit wonky it works well enough for basic debugging.
