  When new players join it's nice for them to not have 5 things to code for at the start, when you get bigger/more experienced you find ways to speed up your progress.

  Because creeps can move in formation and move thru one another you don't have this information when the command is returned.

  What do you mean you cant? I dont believe that for a second. If the server is capable of producing linted error output and stack traces then it is possible to produce linted output and stack traces for anything in javascript. Sure it might not be as trivial as clicking a tick box in some settings somewhere, but damn it, were all programmers here, and if we really "cant" do this then humanity is lost. What has to happen to get it in the steam version?

  Is seems that resets for CPU and hard resets have diminished somewhat (feels that way, but I have not data to support it). It would still be useful to have a process to save data as it is produced so that no code issues would destroy it. Could the Dev's give us any available methods that they know of to effect this "save of data".

  I made something a bit different; fast, compact and can generate 1600 unique names. https://goo.gl/1qqxTj

  Shameless plug for the screeps-stats project - https://github.com/screepers/screeps-stats Although it requires a little more work to setup the visualizations, it's agent requires significantly less in game CPU due to it's use of segments and it allows you to buffer multiple ticks worth of data in segments so you don't lose data during network issues or upgrades. Another big bonus is that it also saves your console output, giving you a completely searchable history of your console data. If you don't want to self host then there's always the option of ScreepsPlus - https://screepspl.us/services/grafana

  Creating StructurePortall at RC8 And Transfering mineral from StructureLink

  I would love to be able to transfer minerals from links. This is a great idea. I disagree that portals are useless- every major war since portals have come out have utilized them in one way or another. This isn't to say I'm opposed to making a player controllable portal, but I do want to be clear that portals are pretty useful as is.

  Think that, you get the data from game loop. But loop is runing server-side, so it seems impossible.  I have a solution for creep role. Generally I set the creep names related to role. For example if the role is Harvester My creep name is Harvester8684 with random number.

  Completely agree! To be honest, it is not really an edge case. Right now, we get control over the amount transferred, withdrawn etc. but not when energy is picked up.

  I monitor when require.timestamp changes to keep track of how long it's been since my last code commit. I found out about it when looking through the engine code recently. You can see where it's set here: https://github.com/screeps/engine/blob/master/src/game/game.js#L484 I haven't seen it mentioned in these forums or on the Screeps Slack, so I don't think many people know about it.   I'd love to have Dissi's suggestion implemented though, since I don't know the actual commit number I'm up to.

  I don't think heap usage statistics can be used to detect GC runs reliably. And we cannot tell how long the GC run has taken in milliseconds based on this metric alone.

  You can do this programmatically. You can find an example in #code-sharing channel on the screeps slack.

  I quite like the proposed equation. ~0,5 cost @ 25 range is a really sweet point to me, As a random thought, what effect would making different tiers of boost / resource have different transfer costs be? Atm the t1 boosts, do not see much trading at all, even for new players. If they were to have lower transfer fees, or a wider transfer range, than t3 boosts, it may make them more palatable? On the whole I really like the idea of regional markets, provided that each region has equal maturity (a regional market of only new players would sort of suck).
