  If possible, it would be helpful if the console was available while in map view as well

  Exposing decorations in the API does not match our design concept. We are not going down that road in any of its form. Decorations is a fully client-side feature.

  For those who still don't understand or are skeptical why this is a step in the right direction watch this: It is old but still relevant.

  I take back every bad thing I thought about this decorations update. The screeps look awesome and I love them! Hope to see lots and lots of strange looking screeps running around the map when this update is launched.

  Draft: Seasonal server

  Finally a idea that could bring a steadier and new income stream. (And even managed to make me post something) However here are my two cents that are needed for it to be a success: Undiscovered world map / fog of war equal CPU limit for all participants you get one chance in a run, so be prepared to defend your self A "season run" starts monthly, the time frame should be a 1/3 year aka 4 month. Players need to be registered in advance for a "season run" and get grouped based on their overall screeps metrics. (if available) Season servers are instances with a fixed amount of equal starting rooms that get randomly populated with players of a group so they are on equal footing. (This is to ensure server performance and fairness) Ideally there are three entry models: season pass: Includes entry fee and a subscription for one entire "season run" entry fee: a discounted one off payment for players with active subscriptions subscription token: you already made money of this and it is a good method to reward very active players There need to be rewards that have worth like subscription tokens and unique season items like cosmetics or tiered (depending on season performance) landmarks (interesting structures that do nothing besides wasting their building material/space just because you can) A perk of this approach is, once you have your "season" developed there is actually no need to "abandon" old seasons since people need to register for them anyway. This allows all players to get the collectibles over time even if they have to wait for a big enough crowd to start up a server instance. Older season simply can get cheaper over time. This is something where I gladly would fork some cash over. I have a lifetime sub because I'm not that interested in screeps and try to keep my footprint as small as possible on the server as long I'm not playing actively besides grinding some GCL. But the season idea is something that I would invest time in since it is something definitive with a goal.

  @geir1983 said in PTR Changelog 2019-06-24: Store and market: Seems to few market orders for the compressed minerals? Most of the bars dont have any active buy orders. Probably due to its now profitable to buy normal minerals, compress and then sell them again. I think we should wait for the market to adjust to cut down on the profit margin from buying minerals, barring, and selling before changing anything. All the commodities are also mineral sinks and it seems still relatively few people are touching them yet. That'll provide other sinks beyond bars.
