  You should look on the PathFinder. This is easy way to create flee behavior. This is shor example how you can use it. The enemys - this is array of enemy creeps, creep is your creep. let path = PathFinder.search(creep.pos, enemys.map(c=>{return{pos:c.pos,range:3}},{flee:true}).path creep.moveByPath(path) You can found more options in the documentation: https://docs.screeps.com/api/#PathFinder

  @calfa Grunt is a program that runs JS code to automate for example compiling and deploying. I haven't found it on Chocolatey but you can install it via NPM (npm install -g grunt-cli). I haven't worked with Grunt yet so I can't tell you very much about it.

  Thanks a lot @Calfa and @o4kapuk it seems to be working now. else if(!creep.memory.harvesting){ var targets = creep.room.find(FIND_STRUCTURES, { filter: (structure) => { return (structure.structureType == STRUCTURE_EXTENSION || structure.structureType == STRUCTURE_SPAWN || structure.structureType == STRUCTURE_CONTAINER) && structure.energy < structure.energyCapacity || _.sum(structure.store) < structure.storeCapacity; } }); really appreciate the help.

  I think you can change Game.map.getRoomLinearDistance on Game.map.findRoute(flag.pos.roomName, Game.rooms[i].name). So you will found nearest room by path, not a range. Because some time nearest rooms have very long path to travel between those rooms.

  @duckymirror What i do is create the biggest possible body part for every creep depending on the available energy at the moment to spawn the creep. Will think about your way to implement it, tho. About towers and creeps...i know it's terrible, but it was just a way to protect myself against invaders, since i've never been involved in a pvp skirmish. The reason i do it this way is because once the invader has finished killing all my creeps, in case i can't defend, it will despawn. However, if there's a tower defending the house, my room will only lose a few ticks due to the freezing. I know it's still a terrible approach for pvp and even for pve, so i'll try to write a different behaviour. So far i thought about making all minions out of the tower scout range to enter in Panic Mode and then go to the tower, but this is still a PvE approach. Thank you!!

  @frop I meant destroying via .destroy() and .dismantle(). A controller doesn't have hits and it belongs to the room so it would be strange if you could destroy it. Both methods still return 0 which is a bit confusing because nothing happens.

  I just tried this on PTR and it does appear to be global - pressing respawn on shard1 removed all of my rooms on shard2. I guess the only way to move to another shard without losing everything is to use portals.

  How about this? let reset = false exports.forceReset() = function() { reset = true } module.__initGlobals = function() { if (!reset ) return reset = false throw new Error("boom") } This will throw an exception outside of the regular evalCode wrapper. I think this will make the vm think it threw the exception and reset the global.

  To expand on this: tick 1: at 48,24, move east to 49,24 tick 2: at 0,24, move east to 1,24 so you basically move 3 squares in 2 ticks... which makes me think that when I'm estimating distance to somewhere, instead of doing #rooms * 50, I should do #rooms * 49

  @famine Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I used let. The code is a bit-long winded - I am surprised it worked tbh - but it did run: function(creep) { let prospect = new RoomPosition(34,4, 'W57S45'); let home = new RoomPosition(16,34, 'W57S44'); if(creep.memory.prospecting && (!creep.pos.isNearTo(prospect) || creep.carry.energy === creep.carryCapacity)) { creep.memory.prospecting = false; creep.say('⛏ seeking'); } if(!creep.memory.prospecting && (creep.carry.energy < creep.carryCapacity && creep.pos.isNearTo(prospect))) { creep.memory.prospecting = true; creep.say('Container'); } if(creep.memory.prospecting) { var sources = creep.room.find(FIND_SOURCES); if(creep.harvest(sources[0]) == ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE) { creep.moveTo(sources[0], {visualizePathStyle: {stroke: '#ffaa00'}}); } } if(!creep.memory.prospecting && creep.carry.energy < creep.carryCapacity) { creep.moveTo(prospect) } else if (!creep.memory.prospecting && creep.carry.energy === creep.carryCapacity) { creep.moveTo(home); var targets = creep.pos.findClosestByPath(FIND_STRUCTURES, { filter: (s) => (s.structureType == STRUCTURE_CONTAINER || s.structureType == STRUCTURE_STORAGE) && s.store.energy < s.storeCapacity }); if(targets) { if(creep.transfer(targets, RESOURCE_ENERGY) == ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE) { creep.moveTo(targets, {visualizePathStyle: {stroke: '#ffffff'}}); } } }

  I think this code will not work. No it's will be work if you runing save block and search block in the same tick. Because path finder need to have RoomPosition but between ticks are memory is saved and RoomPosition class will transformed into object. You need to recreate this class before you will start to search. some think like this: let targets = creep.room.memory.constructionSites.map(object=>{ object.pos = new RoomPosition(object.pos.x, object.pos.y, object.pos.roomName) return object })
