Creeps all dissapear



  • Every once in a while all my creeps disappear at once. This hasn't happened before while I'm looking, but looking in the room history the most recent time it happened everything was normal and then there's a patch of no data. After that patch all the creeps are gone.

    I can't tell if there's a bug happening here or what and I couldn't find any thread referring to disappearing creeps without it being a simple respawn question. Any help would be appreciated.



  • Can you describe the room and tick when it happened? The History being blank is a bug, but it's possible you got invaded. They only last 1500 ticks (just like your own creeps) so they often sweep through, kill your creeps, then expire before doing much structural damage.



  • All the exits from the room are blocked by a combination of walls and ramparts. At least those exits which are traversable. The times that my creeps all disappear none of those walls or ramparts are destroyed. Recently I saw an invasion happen and my tower killed it easily.

    After the no data:

    The western exit is a room currently not available so I don't have it blocked off for now. Also that road disappearing was me contemplating a change in layout, ignore it.

    Could you please tell the tick number when the room history was not available?



  • Room history is unavailable from tick #11987460 in room E46S42

    EDIT: I think I found out that npc invaders can invade through room entrances which aren't connected to available rooms. My towers would occasionally not kill them fast enough because of a missing else in my tower code. I'm still not sure if this was the original problem but I haven't had the disappearance issue again.
