  For the topic, usually no. You'll need 3 types of creeps: -creeps to harvest energies -creeps to defend others and kills the invaders -creeps to repair the structures (if built), especially the containers Due to all these requirements (and, of course, you'll need to have a high-level controller to spawn all that!), I personally think it's not a good choice. But, the minerals and sometimes the invader colony's resources are worth. BTW, not having controllers makes actually contributing structures important for defending (i.e, towers) to these rooms impossible. The wisest choice I think is to build attackers and healers, and renew them in the nearest controlled room. Instead of simply harvesting the energy resources, I'd recommend you to use up all the resources, including the minerals, the invader's tombstones, etc. Also, remember that invader cores might spawn at anytime, so don't forget to write codes for destroying them! Lastly, NEVER BUILD ROADS IN ANY UNCLAIMED ROOMS

  To answer this question myself, after some chatting: As long as a room is claimed or reserved at time of reset, it will reset to full 3000. If claim or reserve is lost at any point will be set to Math.min(currentEnergy, 1500). I have done extensive math (and some discussions) and the idea of claiming multiple rooms just enough to make gains from this knowledge is not really feasible. Mostly owed to the average distance between rooms of 50, the mining time needed even with big miners and the cumulative reserve need for every additional room you do like this, not to mention the ridiculous uninterruptable timings needed to pull it off and short lifespan on a claim creep. Put simply, no configuration like this came out any more profitable than just straight up claiming.

  That makes sense, thanks, I created the account specifically to join the Screeps discord so it's super new. I'd been around on it before but I deleted my old account a while back, guess that was a mistake! Any ideas how old the account needs to be to join?

  @silentium_noxe In some specific situation, like this: creep.harvest("5bbcb68ad867df5e54207957"); // ... 98 lines creep.harvest("5bbcb68ad867df5e54207957"); // "5bbcb68" been queried 100 times const source = Game.getObjectById("5bbcb68ad867df5e54207957"); creep.harvest(source); // ... 98 lines creep.harvest(source); // "5bbcb68" been queried 1 time, saved in memory 100 times more efficient in specific situation.

  It does indeed, that's what I'm using it for But it also does 'spam' the message above into console, warning us this will be changed, so that's essentially what I'm asking about... I'm fine with it being changed, but I'd like to know if the way I'm using it will be possible after the change. In case there won't be a way to renew boosted creeps at all, currently there is no way to just discard the boosts, those creeps would be stuck and I'd have to stop using them (in this way anyway)...

  @tobyers Not sure if it was you that spawned into E31N6 about a week ago, but that room was not great and my bot cleaned it out pretty quick. When you are looking for good rooms. Try not to think too much on small Access points as they are no problem for an attacker to navigate. Think more about how you plan to grow and to do that you need Energy. So a more Ideal room is one with room to build in with 2 Sources with connecting rooms next door also with 2 energy sources in them all. That way you can expand into the neighboring rooms from your main base, pulling all the resources back to your main room.

  Thanks for the help, I was actually just experimenting random things (I didn't know pickup existed) and I typed in creep.pickup (fancy that) before I had even gotten a response to my question I then figured it out from there!

  A script should be abortet after 500 cpu but I also have seen something like that in the past.. maybe the process hang or for some reason the script was not cancelled after 500 ms then it might reduce more from your bucket.

  I think the server could be AZing or ZAing, but you could just array, sort and loop through in a specific order. Having the control over which goes and when.
