  We could have a shard or section of shard 3 which only allows you to stay untill X gcl. Essentially a training ground. Once you reach the gcl you have to leave. Then you must create a spawn amongst higher level players, but you have matured code. I also like the idea of npc creeps invaders rooms strength being determined by the GCL of nearby rooms. This way npcs will clean up the rooms for you

  You can absolutely withdraw from another players structures. I'm pretty sure you can transfer into other players creeps / structures. I think you can heal another players creeps, and I'm pretty sure you can repair another players structures. The only one really missing is upgradeController. I agree I think there is no reason to prevent it since it would allow novel behaviors of players working together. I've tried to do this in the past but in the end we settled for me dumping a pile of energy right next to the controller so they could upgrade it themselves.

  @davaned When a creep moves from a non-exit tile onto an exit tile the creep's fatigue is set to 0. https://github.com/screeps/engine/blob/92a3fffee65d547f12f5a99940c6155d9482a254/src/processor/intents/movement.js#L242 if(utils.isAtEdge(move) && !utils.isAtEdge(object)) { fatigue = 0; object._fatigue = 0;

  I think O4kaput makes respawn zones, so talking to him sometimes help.

  To summarize, yes the stock private server sucks, it just spirals down to horrible performance relatively quickly. You may have more luck with a private server running the mongodb storage engine, although for me personally those always tend to flake out before being able to grown an interesting environment to test in. I pretty much gave up, I just dev on 'production'

  Is it even possible to harvest this source?

  It's actually pretty easy. Each source has a unique ID, they get assigned when originally created (When Shard 3 was created, in this case.) and are assigned left to right, top to bottom. So the top source has a lower ID number than the one below it, as it was assigned first. These IDs are permanent. If you use "let sources = room.find(FIND_SOURCES);" to find the sources, you'll get sources[0] pointing to the top one, and sources[1] pointing to the bottom one. the sources array returned by find will have a length of 2. The ID itself for the top one will be "sources[0].id" But if you wander over to the sources and then search for the closest one, you'll just get whichever one is 'closer.' One of them has to be closer, even if they're both 1 away. So... the problem is how you're searching for the sources.

  @deft-code Sorry, I've already updated the encryption to AES-256, so the sample data that ags131 used is gone. Also, don't terminal messages cost energy? We're a pretty poor alliance at the moment. Thanks though!

  @devblazer screeps-server-mockup, despite its name, is essentially just a wrapper to the official screeps server. All you should really need is to update the dependencies to the most recent server version and it should be good to go, I personally haven't used it in a while though. AFAIK there is no builtin way to run a server one tick at a time, but it should be able to do so with a custom mod. You might want to check out the #servers channel in slack, @ags131 is usually able to help with any kind of server related questions.
