Not sure how I got in this scenario, but apparently after running my ai with the new pathfinder, I got in a scenario where my ai was half dead and timing out. After removing `PathFinder.use(true)` this seems fixed.

Of course it`s just speculating if the new pathfinder actually caused the fix (or just a push of the code triggered it) or what in the new pathfinder may cause the timeout... But I guess it`s better way better to post this incident anyway in case other may have similar troubles.

In which room does this problem take place? (I wish we could find the rooms a player has by looking up by their name though)

I have received this message, I am at least 20 rooms away where this is happening

Your rampart #5606a32cd8fd75310bee2e02 in room W15S21 is under attack!

hmm, how is data encoded, do we use ascii, or limit ourself to the set a-z0-9 (1 storage device alone can have up to 51 states though...)

I think it would be interesting to see how the pathfinder was build. Then we can get the useful parts out of it.

Woops, its https://mikolalysenko.github.io/l1-path-finder/www/. The # part of the url isn't useful

Sadly the nodes don't support weights, but otherwise a very interesting pathfinder.

And bit annoying to track what the creeps are doing...

Are you sure there is no syntax error in the module?

You might want to start with a few commands to get a basic bot, so you get a basic feeling how javascript works.

Then you might want to learn more about javascript, blend it in with some things in the screeps api. That should be sufficient to build a basic bot.

Reading a lot of stuff about javascript may help to get your javascript skills up, there are lots of articles on the internet, that's just a matter of getting the information from good sources like from mozilla/<insert whatever organization that cares about js development> developers zone or congresses, tutorials, workshops, or anything that is aimed for a beginning js developer.

And don't be afraid to make mistakes, it certainly will happen. With good information and later by having some javascript experience, it will be easy many of those mistakes (though some mistakes will be understandable hard to avoid).

And the most important part, have fun.
