Local server - Insane amounts of dropped energy



  • Hello!

    Which shard is affected?

    • Local Server - No mods

    What happened?

    • I have a single room with controller level 4 (now 5) in my local server. On sunday, I found a few creeps with carryCapacity around 100 which were carrying 200k ~ 300k energy. When they died, this energy remained on the ground.

    What should have happened?

    • These amounts shouldn't have existed

    How can we reproduce this?

    • No idea, sorry.


  • Were you manually changing things such as construction site progress?



  • Yes! I did this:

    storage.db['rooms.objects'].update({ type: 'constructionSite' },{ $set: { progress: 99999 }})

    Found here



  • There is your answer. It is never a good idea to mess with the db, even if you know what you are doing.
    A quote on that note: "There maybe unforeseen consequences"
    It is vastly superior to set the ticks very fast, this allows much better debugging.

    There is a mod in the workshop which adds a simple command to change it dynamically, use that.



  • @calfa said in Local server - Insane amounts of dropped energy:

    Yes! I did this:

    storage.db['rooms.objects'].update({ type: 'constructionSite' },{ $set: { progress: 99999 }})

    Right, so every time you finish a construction site that required less than 99999 the exess goes onto the creep.



  • @tigga @MrFaul Thanks guys, i didn't know that and thought it was just some kind of bug.
