I thought it was fun to use an intershard player to escrow intershard credit transfers. It's less fun when you can't find a willing escrow. If credit transfers have a 5% tax, then it would be cheaper to use an underpriced BuyOrder for cpu tokens which has a near zero tax rate. Sub tokens can be used like this now but only if you want to transfer millions of credits. CPU token are a bit too expensive as well but transferring credits 300k increments is at least usable. If pixels are tradeable and cheaper they might work so well that we don't even miss a direct transfer api. With direct credit transfer I'd pay 45k tax to send 900k cr. Or I ask them to create BuyOrder for 3 CPU tokens at 0.001 price. If the devs had infinite time I wouldn't care. But I'd rather they work through their back log especially if their already planned work might fix the credit transfer problem.

++ to all this. Ruins are a super useful input to my auto build/repair system, but they're significantly less useful if their timeToDecay can't be relied upon.

Should be fixed now.

@davaned should be solved now.

It's still an extremely niche power. You'd maybe get value from it against a single source sometimes in some rooms. I think it's ok for it to be lower priced given that it doesn't represent the same raw power as the other offensive options. The only reason I can see for it being so expensive is that it is the easiest to quietly break people's code with vs room assault ones, and they were worried about on-release balance where zombie-ish players have their remotes turned off and they die. But otherwise it's definitely underwhelming in my opinion, but that's without using it due to seeing it as non-viable. Have you been using it effectively or leveled any creeps with it?

Renewing creeps is (at least was) planned for the Commander class of PowerCreeps, which I think is actually a more suitable place to have it. I'd love to see it happen Might actually be a reason for me to invest into PCs more.

@deft-code Oh man don't make this TF2 XD That said, it could be great to have some side revenue generating options for screeps. Things like reskins or custom badges could bring in some extra cash without increasing server load.

yeah, if the client passed into the server what object was selected or position was highlighted, that'd be amazing for troubleshooting purposes: select a creep, and only get debugging info for it. even if it were only sent when a certain keystroke was pressed to prevent overloading the server, it'd still be great

Thank tou for you report, we'll take a look

@ags131's pull request got merged to the PTR branch, and he receives 5 Subscription Tokens. Thanks for contribution!

@Davaned @KyraLee @likeafox I know this kind of necro, but I forked Screeps-SC and made the market page work again, you can find it in the screepers organisation https://github.com/screepers/screeps-sc

@artch I also, don't like the idea of a paid shard, it would split the community too much imo.
