To answer this question myself, after some chatting: As long as a room is claimed or reserved at time of reset, it will reset to full 3000. If claim or reserve is lost at any point will be set to Math.min(currentEnergy, 1500). I have done extensive math (and some discussions) and the idea of claiming multiple rooms just enough to make gains from this knowledge is not really feasible. Mostly owed to the average distance between rooms of 50, the mining time needed even with big miners and the cumulative reserve need for every additional room you do like this, not to mention the ridiculous uninterruptable timings needed to pull it off and short lifespan on a claim creep. Put simply, no configuration like this came out any more profitable than just straight up claiming.

To summarize, yes the stock private server sucks, it just spirals down to horrible performance relatively quickly. You may have more luck with a private server running the mongodb storage engine, although for me personally those always tend to flake out before being able to grown an interesting environment to test in. I pretty much gave up, I just dev on 'production'

@devblazer screeps-server-mockup, despite its name, is essentially just a wrapper to the official screeps server. All you should really need is to update the dependencies to the most recent server version and it should be good to go, I personally haven't used it in a while though. AFAIK there is no builtin way to run a server one tick at a time, but it should be able to do so with a custom mod. You might want to check out the #servers channel in slack, @ags131 is usually able to help with any kind of server related questions.

Ah, now I understand. Thank you.
