Exceeding CPU limit without creeps
-
I've stopped trying to do anything with my scripts after the last update, when my small colony of ~20 creeps started to exceed CPU limit. They've all died recently, but the game still notifies me about exceeding CPU limit, even without calling the 'expensive' path-finding code. So it's basically just unplayable for me now.
Will this problem be addressed? Will the path-finding code be optimized? It's really frustrating, when instead of thinking of smart strategies you have to optimize javascript.

Agreed, the cpu spikes are quite debilitating. It seems that there is some issue tracking cpu between ticks. I doubt my actual usage varies by 3-4x on ticks when my creep actions are similar.

I have the same, CPU ranges from 2 up to 40 with very similar code execution. I think devs should focus on this since it is a major component in the game.

We checked your account but could not reveal the problem you describe. You do have no creeps, but your CPU consumption currently does not exceed 10-15. It could be some temporary problem related to works on the server. If the issue repeats, please submit a request, and we'll try to track the problem individually.
As for pathfinding optimization, we plan to soon launch a test version of a pathfinding algorithm in native C++ code on the game server. In case everything is OK, it will make a great CPU boost for your scripts.

That's some great news regarding pathfinding
Speaking of spikes, I've got 11 notifications during last 14 hours. That's not a lot, but it's a bit disturbing. I'll submit a request if it'll be too bad.
