Mmm, I think mashochism(preferrably) was a phase at one point. Comes and goes.

Language barrier[] valid argument.

@davaned So the end result of playing Screeps is loosing mental health. Is that what you're saying?

Also, I've gone to doctors, I do have ADHD, but comparing is nowhere near to ADHD.

Also, why remove? What if someone might actually be wondering the same stuff, but is too shy or just too exhausted, can just read the already made thread and conclude itself. Nothing wrong with discussion.

Here's a wild question, assume there's a camera, and the camera is reading faces, what if the camera can't tell if you're a human or a computer(obviously since AI), what do?

As an argument, and a good one I might add:

You weren't in the room.

@donatzor Yeah, I hear ya. Unfortunate that this had to happen. Was very enjoyable the first few weeks.

I think the whole "deals system" should be double-checked or revamped, it takes way too long for one to finish, if it's supposed to be instantenious. On some deals the other end doesn't even seem to realize the deal is done / over / received / any-other-relevant-word, as if it's being prolonged. That stuff's still happening, gonna hear from youtube, see what they have to say(completely different matter, been going on for years, nearly a decade, lucky enough i get to sue youtube, although it's word vs. word).

@donatzor Okay, so it's a small team. I'm still wondering why there doesn't seem to be any end to any of the game, just keeps going and going. Also why is it so creepy all the time? Still hearing creepy voices / sounds and constantly looking at creepy characters. I would assume once theres nothing left the game should just end, and not keep lingering around creepily. Annoying, and what about these touch abusement issues? How is it even possible for such a thing to happen? A while ago i sent youtube same type of message, expressing my concerns about my voice being likely abused. Its like a single touch being stuck in an infinite loop, repeating same annoying creepy sounds every time, might be completely irrelevant, but these started happening after some months playing screeps.

Closest thing I've found to touch from searching is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_(command) but I have not heard/don't know about that applying to Screeps.

Screeps is connected to the internet, likely something hooks something, which pickups something and so forth(server traffic), eventually/effectively causing the scenario. Best guessing.

Good luck and thanks for response.

Hello, is there an admin somewhere to sort this out? I can still see and feel screeps playing even though i dont even play.

Admins dont have anything to say to this? Nice.

Also, I'd like to note, apparently screeps can access my actual bank account records, while I dont have any control over them.

Another also, I'm still being claimed even though there isn't anything left. How is that even possible? Btw, touch abusement is still going, I can feel the claimers in my actual ears and fingers, and I'm constantly hearing annoying creepy sounds. I'm guessing they're claimers, what else would have such behaviour.

Could someone please explain to me? Preferrably from someone higher up.

I think the server could be AZing or ZAing, but you could just array, sort and loop through in a specific order. Having the control over which goes and when.

@cribbit What is touch abuse? Idk, the internet, there's all sorts of traffic out there. You'll notice if you get abused via touch or its components. I also don't see or understand how that's bashing. At some point it seems like Screeps took a dive in the deep end, prepower first few days/weeks were great, simple, then after a few months got dull and just went towards dull from there, until power update and its creeps came. First time i got a power creep going, i noticed a minor difference in gameplay(mainly upkeeps), then just back to same old.

Complexity? Idk, seemed fairly simple, get mats, deliver mats, produce, deal out. No progress? Probably not if im not even in the game.

Ive noticed many players complaining the creepiness factor, i noticed it too, but after a while you just sort of get used to it, "oh theres that creepy looking AI again doing its thing".

"Just delete this thread", if everything works for you, then i dont think you can really get the point of view from someone which nothing seems to work.

@cribbit

Explain this, i've quit screeps, i've unsubscribed, i've uninstalled, yet the game keeps going as if it's still being played. Screeps doesn't ever stop, there's no end anywhere. Yeah, very nice design for a game.

your bot in

I still recall/remember

plenty of touch abusal / abusement

rooms being constantly claimed(effectively bug abusalness), even after already claim over

deals not even working(never really understood anyway), never-endingness, don't think I ever really received anything from any deals

I thought about lifetime subs while screeps was fairly new(pre power), glad I didn't waste money.

By the way, link for the soft, still plenty to do.

Feedback more than welcome and appreciated

@crazydubc Highly agreeable, also I think we might've dealt before.

Time has come for me to quit playing screeps, can not say i had a great time. Apparently the company does not have much to offer for its players. Moving on to softing my own, seems to be more fun.

Good luck.

Edit: Not the only company with poor policies and player care, recalling plenty of other companies with little to offer.

Regards, typing for plenty of frustrated, exhausted and tired players.

Would be great, since languages seem to be a variety(for an example). Recently been getting myself into the mining culture.

A good thread.

Scrape the insides of your imagination and read lots of internet for ideas.

@davaned said in I want to be better:

Remote mining, autoexpand, combat, etc

As a non life-time player (atm), these are very CPU heavy ways of play. Right now, I'm with 12 rooms(no reservations), running around 50 creeps with very little CPU left for advancing. Had some ideas for lowering CPU cost, but I would have to respawn all over.

So I'm getting back to this point, I noticed a major gap on my CPU usage. Spent some time checking, re-checking and re-re-checking my codes and came to the conclusion of recycling source-harvesting creeps since most of the time my storages are filled(as I mentioned), and apparently my price's are too high or players aren't active enough on the market.

global.clearance = function(discount){
  
  let orders = Game.market.orders;
   
   
   for(let order in orders){
       let price = (discount)?(orders[order].price - orders[order].price * discount):(orders[order].price);
       Memory.rooms[orders[order].roomName].discounting = (discount)?(true):(false);
       Game.market.changeOrderPrice(orders[order].id, price);
   }
   
   let msg = '[ ' + Game.shard.name + ' ]: ';
   
   msg += (discount)?('Hosting clearance, * ' + discount +'.'):('Clearance over.');
   return msg;
  
}

Now, since I've recycled some creeps, it left me quite an amount of CPU(a drop of roughly 5-10). Which leaves me pondering, should I go for more rooms, or, try expanding my codes(such as an automated power acquirement script, which has been on my to-do thoughts for a while now)?

@davaned said in I want to be better:

@Detox I'd recommend trying out some form of autobuild, it'll make your respawn way less painful. Tbh if what you really want is some non-cpu limited dev time spawning into a private server to work on stuff is pretty effective.

Both very valid points.

@detox said in Podcast about the unidentified Screeps player found dead in a tent.:

@jnark

Always good to bump up a little creepy.paste. Just in case.

The amount of IQ in this post is beginning to smell.

planning on making an Android Game that would use the Screeps servers as a back end using the Screeps APIs

mine cryptos on the Screeps servers with extra CPU time

Right there:

baffled/impressed that he would write all this out on paper.

@sneaky_polar_bear said in I want to be better:

@detox I assume you are in shard3. My suggestion (and what I did), colonize through a portal into one of the uncapped cpu shards.

You, sir, are correct. I actually did try it, but it's too advanced for me atm. It's already heavy enough with current coding. Which get's me back to my original thought (recode everything), could aswell respawn directly into a non-limited shard. Experience-wise 50/50 (recode entirely or code into another shard).

@smokeman said in Username change:

As far as I know, User names are cast in stone and immutable for the life of the account.

So you would need to kill off that account and start a new one from scratch.

Be a buyer of life-time subs, decide username is completely wrong || not fully thought. Have had this thought multiple times in several games with similarities.
