Soo, is there a plan to make this happen somewhere in the nearby future??: I really like to have this feature.. pretty please???

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.

@DoctorCat92 I'm quite happy with the prospect of frivolous additions. Ideally each player will find their own style and enrich the diversity of the Overworld. I assume the decorations will have sufficient variety and be visible to other players in world view. For me personally I plan to use pixels to as a credit sink. I don't really want to become dependent on a credit stream to support my empire and it smells slightly of pay to win(1). Pixels gives me something else to do with my credit stockpile. I also hope pixels provide a meaningful way to long time players with lifetime subs financially support the game servers. The commodity update was the first minor step toward world diversification. I think the devs are taking it slow. The #1 thing they can do to frustrate players is break their code. The #2 thing is not provide new content. I think it would be fun to play in a shard that geographically radically departs from the standard grid, but that would break soo many assumptions in people's code. I think screeps is uniquely positioned to not be pay to win. There is no amount of credits that make you win a conflict. If you don't have the code it aint gonna matter. If you have the code and too few rooms it aint gonna matter. If you have the code and the size you don't really need buy to resources. I think @Atavus is the closest to finding a true pay to win scenario on Shard3. Though in his case he's just burning through his credit stockpile, so it's more of a save-to-win.

Thank you so much! @donatzor said in Newbie question here: When a creep steps on the portal, it is transported to the other shard, only retaining its body and name. It will get a new ID and will have no Memory. You will have to set up a system to restore/initialize new memory for it. This is gonna be very hard. Since claimers can only live for 600 ticks, and the place in Shard 2 or 1 (where the portals near me direct to) is basically fully occupied, so even if my claimer gets there, it will need to travel a long way to find a relatively good and safe spot. But I will try it. If it doesn't work, maybe I should respawn in Shard 2 first, and then travel to Shard 3 Thanks again for the help and encouragement.

Technically, there IS a GUI. It's the console's command line. Just open the console and type the line of code that commands the Game.market API to do what you want. Things like create an order, or buy an order through a deal are simple one liners. Sure, the big hassle is that you can't be ON the market page and have the console open at the same time, but the clipboard works for capturing the id of the order you want to interact with. Anything else you can scribble on paper. I mention this because it's not always obvious that you can just enter API code directly into the console. If you're like me, and had NO JS experience when starting, I didn't know you could do that... instead I wrote some stupidly complicated function to "single shot" a line of code into the market.

PTR inclusive "StructureLab.reverseReaction" runs fine for me

@fangxm @o4kapuk I just quickly checked, the bug doesn't appear in the simulation room, but for the private server it's indeed still broken.

@starwar15432 Is there a mod for this out there somewhere?

@atanner They're currently in development. We'll announce all the details when we're ready for it.

I've got the same problem with chrome just recently. But hardware acceleration does work with firefox.

@drayan said in Simulator gets slower and slower: Hello, I know this issue is quite old and marked as solved, but it isn't solved for me. I have the exact same issue. The simulator slows down and down, clearing the text in the console help to get a little faster, and after a while, doing what @WolfWings said to get the simulator back to speed works. I have this problem in chrome, but also with the steam client. I think this issue is not quite resolved. Thanks for your help Same here. Slows down to unusable speeds until I click the cog and click okay.

@jerdaz Unfortunately this didn't do much, as this was fresh/clean install. I tired this on a completely different windows-based computer and observed the same stalling behavior, so it doesn't seem to be related to my particular macOS setup.

@omnistegan This branch is now default, the beta is deactivated.

I understood. Thanks for helping
