You can control as many rooms as you have GCL (Global Control Level) to do so, currently on the live server you seem to be GCL 1, meaning you can control / build in the one room you spawned in.

Once you hit GCL 2 you can then claim another room with a creep with at least one CLAIM part. Once claimed, you can build / upgrade this room as well.

The level of the controller will depend on what you can build there, see: Docs: Control for more information. You can see your GCL on the overview tab by the way, or by calling it w/ Game.gcl['level']

I've had something similar happen if not the same where if I try and click on a memory to expand it when I'm on the over-world view or transitioning into a room it will freeze or not load, then any subsequent attempts to expand that particular memory will always fail and just seem like its loading forever.

I've been able to fix it on chrome by clearing the browsing data which then acts like its the first time I've logged in but everything works after re logging in.

Great news! This is actually been implemented already, though its phrased as 'pulling'.

Greetings,

Yes, from what I understand you can do some cool things with 20 CPU and to be clear you can exceed that in short-bursts with an overflow bucket of 10,000 (See: CPU Limit doc). The simulation to my knowledge from the site is also free, if you wanted to try it out first: (See Simulation).

As of writing, the live severs are:

Shard0: 5s a Tick Shard1: 3.4s a Tick Shard2: 3.2s a tick Shard3: 3.6 a tick

Though that can vary, ~3 is average and decent for being able to respond to live-troubleshooting of code.

I've never read that review before now. I've visited slack a few times but only started jumping on more recently, while tight-nit I wouldn't call it toxic most players I see get help relatively quickly and questions are answered.

There are a few things I'd question about the post but I do not know the situation or what led up to it. I've only played with the private client a little, so couldn't help there.

this guy's review - I'll admit I normally do have Screeps up on another tab when playing other games to make sure code-behavior is acting correctly or to update the code as needed for things, though I'd view the game as a game about automation more than active-action unless your mid-attack. We'll have to see how Screeps Arena is.

This other one - Yep, there's a market for credits and Tokens similar to ISK and Plex in Eve-Online. Though you can play the market to get credits not just though selling tokens. There are two types of "Novice zones" a Novice Area in green which you need to have a Global Control Level (in-game-level) less than 3 to enter, and Respawn Zones that anyone can enter but you have to give up all your previous territory, not your account levels or code-base. Both zones are cut-off for an extended period of time from the outside world giving you time to prepare.

See: Starter Areas

In-fact if you haven't already I'd start reading the Docs Page and API Page Before I purchased I went though the Docs page several times to get an idea of the concepts.

@artch Workin' great! Thanks.

When logged into the screeps world, Top left next to the Screeps logo there's a menu button.Half way down the menu is "Report a Problem"

There is also an option to mark it Urgent if you feel its dire.

Have this happen on chrome as well. both on my phone/computer.

@smokeman said in Cannot reassign CPU:

But when I press the commit button, it just resets to the original values.

Are you only using the interface or is reasigning via code not working as well?

There's probably a few ways to accomplish what your looking to do. Part of the fun is figuring out what works for you and refactoring or developing new ways.

You could have creeps check before traveling the area around / the jam location for an obstruction, then change target as needed.

You could cap the amount of creeps for that source specifically and balance it so not too many are getting jammed up.

More dynamically similar to how @SandGrainOne said, recently I started using something that @Orlet had mentioned on slack which is to simply have the creep detect when its not moving but not yet at its goal, then find the obstruction and move it.
