@crusher48 Should be fixed now, update your client and try again.

The draft concept of factories is now being developed. We'll publish it on the forum as soon as it's ready.

@mrfaul They'll end up either coming to that conclusion or leaving after they get wiped a few times anyway.

@davaned The problem is that renewing with the commander clears all boosts from a creep, so a commander is unlikely to be able to field more than a low-level harass force with renewing. Plus, depending on whether the hallway rooms are powers-enabled, it may need to find power-enabled rooms to pit stop in on the journey.

Oh heck. What was I thinking? It's the INPUT labs that don't get the cooldown, having the output lab get hit with that essentially prevents production from occurring in that lab for the cooldown duration. So that's essentially a deal killer. And I hadn't even gotten to the part where I figure out the actual mineral cost... which is probably also a deal breaker. All in all, what is the point of this feature? Boosts are still too expensive to use for anything but the one place you HAVE to use them, combat.

Well sonny, back in my day, we only had THIRTY parts.

I'm also interested in whats going on... I have heard rumors about persistant game objects? Forums are quite silent the last weeks .)

@crusher48 The chances of natural invaders being an issue to an attacker seem even lower than the chances of invaders being an issue for their creators.

@crusher48 if you create a storage unit using the simulation controls (rather than building it) then it will have minerals in it already. You can destroy and replace the storage if you need more.

Thanks for reporting, but we constantly monitor shards status, and have notification system in place. No need to create such topics.

I think that would remove a lot of the strategy around room selection.

I guess that the big question is: how can you enforce it ?

AugmentTower basically increases or decreases the effective range of a tower. It isn't effective at reducing damage from a tower that already does minimum damage, or for boosting the damage of towers that are already getting maximum damage on the enemy. Stasis is one of the powers that probably will receive a nerf, yes. All absorb does is reducing damage to a creep and turning it into energy. Is that really disruptive? Yes, pierce is going to be disruptive. However, you can still check what parts the creep has available through getActiveBodyparts. Barrier's barrier could just be a rampart with different properties (namely, faster decay), and blockade would leverage the same indestructible constructed walls used for novice/respawn areas.

This would be a nice addition. On the subject of invader spawning, it would be nice to be able to spawn invaders in a room that I had reserved as well as one I had owned. Unless there is a good reason not too, that I cant think of.

@dissi Yes, that's why there's a timer on the despawning so that if the player has an ally capable of rebuilding them, they can be rebuilt. Note that all that is needed to delay the timer is 1 progress on any spawn construction site for the player.

Can't creeps stand on each other in safe mode too though?

Well the docs are at https://github.com/screeps/docs, the back-end engine is at https://github.com/screeps/engine, and there's actually very little at the main https://github.com/screeps/screeps repo. Just issue a PR against the appropriate repo after making the edits.

Yeah, that would be great. I could add some complex data display withoud need to set on/off display to see anything.
