Help me!

@o4kapuk Is it intended that you can spawn on PTR without having bought Screeps on Steam?
-
@duckymirror No, you can't. You can't spawn on PTR server. Only one way to access to PTR server is to spawning on official server and wait until PTR server is synced with official.
-
@duckymirror Then what is the point of the game? There should be a trial period so someone can decide if they would like to invest in Screeps
-
@galaxyowl The sim room is available for free. you can run through the tutorials, and even set up custom rooms to see whether you like the game or not. I think that'd count as an infinite "trial period," as it doesnt even require you to log in to access.
-
@semperrabbit Can you collect materials and sell them from the sim?
-
You can always just start writing your code base (which is basically how you 'play' anyway), wishlist the game on Steam and wait for a sale if $20 is too much.
-
@riggs But would i be able to collect materials and sell them from the sims?
-
No. You cannot participate in the MMO server without paying some amount of money.
-
@flyasd1 You can. I've tried it.

This post is deleted!

@duckymirror This is weird. I'll check it, thanks
-
hmm strange was able to get onto the PTR server by basically just making sure I stayed logged into the main one despite only having messed around in SIM. That say SIM needs an add RoomToSIMWorld function of some kind so we can test multiroom code and mess around with a tad more of the game.
If all else fails a web only totally disconnected micro shard for the website end could solve some of the whining from people that don't want to play on steam or buy through steam, the players would just have to tolerate being crammed into a tuna can's worth of space. XD
