So the creep moves towards the controller, but then it stands still without claiming it... This is the code

var roleClaimer = {

run: function(creep) { 
    creep.memory.target = 'E1S42';
    if(creep.room.name != creep.memory.target){
        var getMeOut = creep.room.findExitTo(creep.memory.target);
        creep.moveTo(creep.pos.findClosestByRange(getMeOut));
    }
    else{
        creep.moveTo(creep.room.controller);
        creep.claimController(creep.room.controller); 
    }
}

};

module.exports = roleClaimer;

check the return code of the creep.claimController function, it will tell you why its failing.

var result =  creep.claimController(creep.room.controller); 
console.log(creep + " tried to claim controller, got result " + result);

OK 0 The operation has been scheduled successfully.

ERR_NOT_OWNER -1 You are not the owner of this creep.

ERR_BUSY -4 The creep is still being spawned.

ERR_INVALID_TARGET -7 The target is not a valid neutral controller object.

ERR_FULL -8 You cannot claim more than 3 rooms in the Novice Area.

ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE -9 The target is too far away.

ERR_NO_BODYPART -12 There are no CLAIM body parts in this creep’s body.

ERR_GCL_NOT_ENOUGH -15 Your Global Control Level is not enough.

You level up GCL (Global Control Level) by upgrading controller(s) w/ energy done by creeps, you can read more here:

Claiming a controller requires 600 available energy in your base.

Would you please explain how you arrived at that conclusion?
Because it is a false statement, if left alone.

@charlycreeper When your controller reaches RCL8 you should also gain a GCL for the first time.

Develop a profitable remote mining operation, if done wrong remote mining wastes resources.

I looked at your base, you have a lot of possible savings that you can pump into your controller.
But figuring that out is your job

@mrfaul I misinterpreted the docs. It's just the cost of the claim bodypart.

But if you knew it was false already, why didn't say so?

@mrfaul well, that's not entirely true. I have a GCL of 2, when I reached RCL3. Atleast the game tells me when I join the public servers.

You already played a bit in 2017, control points for GCL are global every bit counts and is not lost.
He really just started.
