  I think all construction sites in the room- or at least the ones in a certain range- should be cleared along with all the creeps.

  attackController is close to attack by its semantics, so range 1 is fine in this case. When the controller has just one spot, think of it as a well protected controller, like a wall in an one spot chokepoint.

  Yeah, so if you are for example looking at the API reference for Mineral, and you wonder what they do, you need to click at: Screep Support Center How to Play See all 10 articles Minerals Simple!

  Is it safe to assume recycled creeps’ materials will be automatically picked up if they’re recycled on top of a container? Yes, it should work this way. Also does the spawn have to be inactive? If you mean not busy with spawning, then no, it can be busy while recycling in the same time. But it should be an active structure, i.e..isActive() === true. And finally, can this be a room-wide ability? Having to stand the creep next to a spawn and send another one to pick up the decaying resources will be hassle, it’d be nicer if they could be recycled next to the storage and easily tossed in. All spawn methods work in close range only.

  The commit with animation should have been there from the start, but has been accidentally missed during deployment until today's patch. We do our best to provide as much feedback as we can, but we just don't have enough time resources to answer to every post and phrase that appears on forums, so some posts will not be answered anyway unfortunately. If you need to receive guaranteed answer, please consider submitting a ticket instead.

  Any concrete reasons, why the dismantling has been nerfed?

  I agree mostly with Hernanduer. I see absolutely no use for containers in developed rooms. I agree with some use for RCL1-3, but since RCL4 can be easily accomplished in a day, i don't put effort into building these, when I know I don't need them anymore the next day. If the decay would be lowered to 200 ticks for reserved rooms it would significantly increase the usefulness! Losing only 0.25 energy per tick instead of 1 (or more) would be able to convince me to actually use it besides the increased logistical efforts.

  >You don't have to transfer resources into the container, it will drop into it automatically on Creep.harvest (see the changelog above) That's only true for the one right on top of it, right? So if I built one immediately adjacent to another, I'd still have to transfer to it and I'd still have to have carry on my miner because the container can't do the transfer itself. That's part of why a couple of big ones is better than a bunch of small ones.

  Containers can be constructed in neutral rooms. This means there is no RCL requirement at all.

  15-WORK creep boosted with catalyzed ghodium acid will upgrade a RCL8 controller for 30 control points spending 15 energy units.

  If I interpreted your right2left correctly (the "last" bodypart (in terms of when the creep is attacked) is the rightmost one) [bodyPartsCount] is bad for TOUGH parts, since there you really want to boost from left to right...

  Terrain data is static and immutable. It is technically impossible to treat dynamic game objects as terrain due to this.

  There is a question regarding ERR_RCL_NOT_ENOUGH: According to docs, there is no ERR_RCL_NOT_ENOUGH error code for the storage.transfer() method.Is it intended (the ability to transfer resource from a storage when it is inactive), or this limitation is not implemented yet?

  @Dissi: yes, exactly. And even if we have no vision, it will still consider terrain walls and swamps, and different configurations of exits.

  Seems like it's a visual bug, the rangedMassAttack also spawns a rangedAttack visual.

  The center rooms are always at full capacity, they are considered owned by Source Keepers (but can be harvested by anyone).
