I've been playing for a while and recently acquired a second room. My CPU often sits at 13, and spikes to 16-ish. I want to add a third room, and still haven't reached 6th level, so I need a way to lower my CPU usage so I can add more to my code. I would appreciate any help

Hello there,

Optimizing CPU usage is one of the key challenges in the game. Without seeing your code, I can just say basic things.

Cache what you can
Check if you have CPU intensive functions which are not needed to call each cycle
Join the Screeps discord server, and check the #cpu-clinic thread

I agree with the points left by @Bazsi1224 . I am in a similar spot with my code. I was able to pretty easily add the profiler linked on the "Third Party Tools" part of the documentation site. It's a quick setup and can point you in the direction of function calls that are eating up larger portions of your CPU. Hope this helps.
