Before there were shards, the MMO was just shard 0. As it was the only map/server it was even larger than it is now, and tick times (If I recall correctly) even longer.

With the advent of shards, S1 started out small and opened up more but still stayed a smaller size, S2 followed and finally S3 which is CPU restricted and was billed as the non subscriber shard, where everyone was on 20 CPU across the board.

S0 since then, has had rooms slowly being deactivated in order (I assume) To speed up tick time, including the time when a whole out-side ring was collapsed:

There were/are some player movements who went around and tried to take out zombie players and clean out S0 rooms, but not sure where that stands now.

S0 also hosts some of the older players, their codebases. Not sure the exact factors that slow it down, but considering it has 11339 claimable rooms and no CPU cap (so older players have at max, 300) While Say, S3 has 7076 rooms and a 20 CPU cap on everyone, it prob slows it down a bit, even though S3 has way more players.

Can remove them with the CLI. default steam I think its removeWhere. Mongo just remove, so depends on what your using. Could also use mods/make a mod to disable them.

I'd recommend joining slack and asking around #servers, slack tends to be quicker/livelier responses.

There is a slack:

https://chat.screeps.com/

in slack, there is a channel called #thewarpath, conflicts/nuke launches/landings are automatically collected and posted there.

There is a #politics channel but its not used alot, generally watching the #general channel and a few others you can read and learn of many things goin' on.

there's also a #help channel if you have questions.

Each body part except MOVE and empty CARRY generate fatigue.

1 point per body part on roads, 2 on plain land, 10 on swamp. Each MOVE body part decreases fatigue points by 2 per tick. The creep cannot move when its fatigue is greater than zero.

If your interested in the code side, can view the movement intent.

There's a channel on Slack for screeps named Python, folks who use it hang out there. These would also probably help, but highly recommend stopping by Slack.

To start trades, Steam says you can do trade-offers w/ friends, trading forums or a third-party link you can generate from steam.

At current, the discussion section for Screeps on Steam and on these forums does not have a trading section set up. Now that we have the ability to direct-trade via steam, and Slack only has a limited history for messages, is it possible we could get a trading section on here/steam to help facilitate these trades? Steam should allow posters to be traded w/ from anyone, here people could post the third party link w/ their offers or requests.

Visual glitch that happens some times, restarting fixes it most of the time if I recall.

Pathfinding is expensive, in moveTo you can find a few opts reusePath, is the easiest one to help lessen the cost with some/most creeps. Default it is 5, so every 5 ticks if your creep has not reached its destination / changed rooms it will recalculate a path. Saves CPU, but creeps will react slower to things in their way.

Beyond that, you can use pathfinder to find paths and save them for creeps to use with moveByPath. As for already created solutions I hear Traveler is something folks use.
