  Dismantling them or reclaiming the room and dealing with them in one tick is best. If there are things such as terminals or spawns in there it can be a hassle later.

  That's correct, upgrading lodash may break someone's code.

  Checking obstacles for players would be incorrect. There are a few cases when such check is excessive, like a creep stepping over a structure which will be destroyed at the next tick. These cases are more or less rare but still, it's breaking change. As for your other questions, well, if you're asking this then you're probably experienced enough to migrate to PathFinder.search which provides lots of necessary information (sooner or later, this happens to all of us).

  Dijkstra flood fill, path to all destinations

  There's no downside to it being part of the API. Not making it part of the API is to basically implement a much slower pathfinder on the script side, which doesn't make much sense, in either cost or memory. A flood fill is just a clone of the existing pathfinding api(A*), without the heuristic(making it Dijkstra), and with different handling of the completion criteria, and of course returning a room sized array instead of an individual path.

  Hmm since there could be multiple rooms something like RoomVisual.subscribed or Game.getSubscribedRooms() would be nice indeed.

  So they do decay from use and just over time, I didn't realize that. I would still think we could make the tip more accurate. Roads and Tunnels decay from use and over time, so don't forget to repair them.

  @keenathar Deuteranopist here (Green color blind, and sorry if i misswrote it, i'm spanish xD) I can't tell the difference between the first and the third. For me they are exactly the same A setting we could tweak that'd set different colors depending on our color blindness would be fantastic. A pop-up when we hover with the name of the color so we can then use the proper constant would be enough imo, tho. Thanks for your efforts!

  Try Alt+0 / Alt+Shift+0 hotkeys. Tip: you can use almost all hotkeys listed here: https://ace.c9.io/demo/keyboard_shortcuts.html

  Expose respawn/novice property on Game.map and/or Room

  @artch said in Expose respawn/novice property on Game.map and/or Room: @tigga Terrain data is statically cached in all nodes and is fetched only once on launch. Novice/Respawn status is stored in MongoDB where all rooms info is located, this kind of query is way more expensive. Right, but as a user I'd just do the following: if (!global._roomInRespawnNoviceArea || resetRespawnNoviceCache) { global._roomInRespawnNoviceArea = {} for (all ~4000 rooms) global._roomInRespawnNoviceArea[roomName] = isRespawnNoviceArea(roomName) } Where resetRespawnNoviceCache is set on the tick any walls go down or up. There's probably a good reason you can't do this - I'm not at all familiar with the backend and you obviously are! My point is that this array shouldn't come to more than 4kb per user, and populating it once per reset seems fairly cheap. EDIT: I've used an object for simplicity. Pushing this into UInt8Array would be 4kb, packing it into a bitmask could get it down to 500b.

  It would also be nice to be able to write that kind of information outside the boundary of the room instead of overlapping it.

  @jacudibu Thank you for your suggestion. We're adding this into the backlog.

  @artch looking through all Events logs where own Creeps/builings are /Filter for rooms with enemy creeps will cost a lot of parsing CPU.

  Pretty sure creating plugin for ScreepsSC doing exactly this is quite trivial, I can say that because I did it a long time ago (then stopped using Screeps-SC)

  @artch I agree with the other people here that just looking at the worldmap should not start my CPU subscription (regardless of trail or bought in addition). Especially not without warning me. Like I said before I bought this game and lost my full trail subscription because I wasn't even aware that my subscription started until I got the warning that my subscription is about to end!

  Oh heck. What was I thinking? It's the INPUT labs that don't get the cooldown, having the output lab get hit with that essentially prevents production from occurring in that lab for the cooldown duration. So that's essentially a deal killer. And I hadn't even gotten to the part where I figure out the actual mineral cost... which is probably also a deal breaker. All in all, what is the point of this feature? Boosts are still too expensive to use for anything but the one place you HAVE to use them, combat.

  Wouldn't the game be worse if the terrain was identical? As in, the desire to control slightly better territory is surely a good driver of conflict and therefore engagement... The edges have both disadvantages and advantages - less people in range so you're perhaps safer but have less combat targets, less people to contest power banks but less power banks in range. If we put portals of some kind at the edge of the map, it would mean that the entire map was as connected to other parts of the map, so the terrain was less diverse.
